There are endless options for making a DIY room divider, from a simple room divider made of polycarbonate sheet and a stand to a minimalist room divider comprising a sliding door with a black frame. In this blog, we’ve rounded up four of our favourite ideas for making a DIY room divider.


# 1. A planter room divider
# 2. A minimalist room divider

Functional, easy to make and won’t break the budget: that sums up this minimalist room divider. You only need two items to make it: an polycarbonate sheet cut to size and a room divider stand. The main benefit of this room divider is that it’s multipurpose. You can use it to write on and stick post-its on it, so it’s perfect for the office.

# 3. A sliding door room divider

This room divider looks like a steel sliding door, but this is just an illusion. This sliding door room divider consists of a wooden frame combined with white opal polycarbonate. When you paint the frame black, you give it the appearance of a steel frame. The inspiration for making this sliding door room divider came from our customer. He added an industrial handle as a stylish finishing touch, and voila, he had a homemade design statement.


# 4. A budget-friendly black room divider

If a glass and steel screen is too expensive for your budget, this room divider offers

an attractive, affordable alternative. All you need is a custom-cut 4mm clear polycarbonate sheet and a timber frame that you can paint black or any other color of your choice. The idea for this room divider was shared with us by a customer. He blind-screwed his room divider for a nice finish, using dowels so that the screws aren’t visible.

About Our Polycarbonate Sheets

Key Benefits of Exolon® Monolithic Polycarbonate Sheets

Exolon® monolithic sheets offer an exceptional balance of physical and mechanical properties that remain stable across a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. Designed for durability, clarity, and performance, these sheets are ideal for both residential and commercial glazing applications.

Superior Alternative to Traditional Glazing

Exolon® polycarbonate sheets are a safer, lighter, and more cost-effective replacement for glass. They're nearly unbreakable, easy to cut and install, and reduce the overall weight of your structural framework—resulting in lower transportation, handling, and installation costs. This makes them the smart choice for modern construction and architectural projects.

UV Protection for Long-Term Performance

Unlike standard plastics, Exolon® sheets feature a protective UV-resistant layer that shields against the harmful effects of solar radiation. This added layer prevents yellowing, cracking, and degradation, ensuring long-term clarity and performance even in harsh weather conditions.

Perfect for Arched and Curved Glazing

All Exolon® monolithic sheets can be cold-formed to fit arched or curved glazing profiles. As long as the bend radius exceeds the manufacturer’s minimum recommendation, the mechanical properties of the sheet remain unaffected, ensuring both flexibility and strength.

Built to Last – Guaranteed for 15 Years

Backed by a 15-year performance guarantee, Exolon® polycarbonate sheets offer superior longevity and value. With resistance to impact, weather, and UV radiation, Exolon® stands out as the go-to material for high-performance glazing solutions.
