Citterio states the design brief openly: Slender was developed to meet the operational demands of major international projects — fluid environments, evolving layouts, delivery windows that keep tightening. That pedigree is precisely what an Indian Grade-A fit-out needs: a partition specified in one country, reviewed in another, and installed on a floor plate where the programme answers to a global tenant. One 65.2×42.5 mm aluminium profile family covers offset single glazing, double glazing and solid walls; junction elements resolve in-line, two-way and three-way layouts without custom pieces.

The details travel just as well: telescopic profiles absorb ±15 mm of site tolerance, the Fly-By trim docks onto plasterboard, doors carry automatic drop seals on both hinged and sliding versions, and locks can be European, American or electronic — whichever standard the building runs on. Acoustic build-ups are lab-tested up to 47 dB, with EPD documentation for the glazed versions. In the Indian corporate projects La Mercanti follows, the partition line is where international specs meet local slabs; Slender was engineered for exactly that meeting.

FAQ

What does a system built for international projects actually mean?
It means the friction points are engineered out in advance: published tolerances (±15 mm telescopic), standard junctions for any layout geometry, lock compatibility across European, American and electronic standards, and documentation — acoustic lab reports, EPD — ready for review boards in any jurisdiction.
How does one profile family help a large fit-out?
Every wall type on the floor — glazed fronts, high-insulation solid walls, doors — shares the same 65.2×42.5 mm profile language. Procurement negotiates once, the design keeps one sightline everywhere, and a phased rollout across floors or cities stays visually consistent.
Which build-up suits which room?
Follow the tested numbers: offset single glazing (34-38 dB) for day-to-day cellular offices, double glazing (42-46 dB) for boardrooms and HR rooms, the solid 53 mm wall (41-47 dB, depending on steel sheets added to the rock wool) where conversations must not travel at all.
Does Slender handle curved layouts?
Yes — curved glass integrates into the same system, so a conference room can turn a corner in a continuous sweep instead of a chain of faceted panels. Fluted, acid-etched and switchable glass handle privacy without changing the profile line.
What arrives with the shipment besides the partitions?
The paper that keeps a project moving: EPD certification for the glazed configurations, laboratory acoustic reports, and Citterio's declared company certifications — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC, LEED compliance. La Mercanti consolidates the documentation with the order so reviews never wait on it.

Specifying one partition standard across a multi-site rollout

Five steps for corporates and PMCs standardising fit-outs across Indian metros: how Slender keeps every site on the same page.

Write the standard once, centrally
Define the corporate partition standard — build-ups per room type, finishes, door hardware — against Slender's tested values, and issue it to every site as a fixed annexure. Local variation should be a justified exception, not a habit.
Anchor acoustics to lab numbers
Specify rooms by tested dB values (38, 46, 47) rather than adjectives like soundproof. Local review teams can verify a number against a lab report; nobody can verify an adjective.
Survey every slab before release
Indian floor plates vary building to building: record real floor-to-ceiling tolerances per site and confirm they sit within the ±15 mm telescopic range before releasing each order. One survey day per site saves a re-fabrication cycle.
Fix the lock standard per building
Some towers run European cylinders, some American, some card access. Slender accepts all three — so record the choice per building in the door schedule and let the master-key or access vendor sign it off before fabrication.
Stage deliveries floor by floor
The system's junctions and telescopic starts allow phased installation: sequence deliveries per floor as drywall closes, and the partition crew follows without waiting for the whole building. The programme compresses one floor at a time.
