class=\"wp-caption-text\">By utilizing the customer\u2019s existing block wall, they were able to design a row of offices along the back wall of their facility without needing to reroute their existing lines<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One thing to consider when thinking about designing a two or three wall in-plant office is what kind of walls are in place.\u00a0 If we are going to utilize your existing walls, we are going to need to tie into them in a couple different places.\u00a0 We will need to attach a piece of channel called a wall start from the floor to the top of the panel, wherever the panel would connect to the building wall.\u00a0 As we typically use a corrugated roof deck to form the membrane that holds the building together, we will also need to attach an angle along the enclosed length of the wall at the panel height.\u00a0 Because of this, the walls need to be substantial enough to be tied into.\u00a0 Block, stud and gypsum, or concrete walls are great.\u00a0 Steel skinned buildings are not.\u00a0 The wall should also be even across the locations where the building would tie in.\u00a0 If there\u2019s a significant gap, such as in some brick walls, you\u2019ll need to add some flashing to seal off the gaps into the building.\u00a0 In some buildings there has been a wall built in front of the steel skin wall.\u00a0 Remember to make sure the height of the front wall is taller than the height of the building panels.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_353\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

perimeters of the customers\u2019 buildings, and are often asked if we could utilize the existing building walls.\u00a0 The issue here, though, is that even though you might not realize it, there is some movement on the platform different from the existing building wall.\u00a0 These forces would weaken the structural integrity of the building system.\u00a0 At the ground level below the mezzanine, we can potentially utilize the existing building walls, but we would need to go with a four wall system on top of the platform.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_355\" style=\"width: 310px\"
