What is the best material for a room divider?

Nowadays, there are many modern styles and options: medium density fiberboard (MDF), glass, acrylic, fabric, wood, and metal. A medium-density board or MDF is economical but challenging to maintain. It is highly absorbent; it can’t be placed in an environment rich in moisture, else it can quickly get damaged. The glass room divider is elegant but very fragile. If you have kids running around your house, glass is not recommendable. When it comes to fragility, acrylic is better than glass; however, it is not heat resistant, it also easily gets scratched. Using fabric as a room divider is practical because of its mobility, easy to carry and move around, and economical. However, using fabric as a room divider is not advisable because it quickly gets stained, and it is vulnerable to water and fire. Wood’s quality is more robust, and it will last for years. However, if it is not maintained well, it can suffer damage from sharp objects. It is vulnerable to water and fire. Likewise, the ultraviolet light can change its color and damage its surface.

The Metal Room Divider

Amongst all the materials for the room divider mentioned above, the metal is most durable and long-lasting. There are many kinds of metals used for room dividers: brass, copper, iron, aluminum, and many others. Brass has a classy look and easily machined. However, it is prone to blackish tarnish, and its removal is quite challenging.  Copper is resistant to high temperature and UV degradation, yet very expensive. On the other hand, iron is economical but using it is not practical since it is a heavy material, three times heavier than aluminum.
