What an amazing service. I was initially quite skeptical, but believe me, they delivered a great product. I got an 8x10 backdrop for my business. The print was so good. Not washed out at all. Please use them. It's worth the money.

I ordered a 8.5 X 7.5 photowall. Amazing quality. We had a rush order and I personally spoke to Jennifer. She was amazing in organizing the mock, adjusted it based on my feedback and even gave constructive suggestions to make it better. The photowall arrived in time for my event. Overall very happy with the product quality and service. Thank you Backdropsource team and Jennifer specifically.
Ritesh DesaiCanada
The communication was very efficient and fast. I approved the mockup on June 1st at 10AM and I received my personalized flag on June 5th at 2PM. I don't know how they do that so fast. I live in Québec Canada and was expecting long production and delivery delays. Jeez, how wrong was I! The flag is PERFECT and way in time for the event! Thank you Backdropsource Canada!

I have purchased several frames and tension fabrics; the process for acquiring these backdrops is super easy. The team is very helpful when needed. The product quality is great.

Why choose a magnetic room divider instead of a basic folding screen?

A basic folding partition screen does one job: it blocks a view. A magnetic partition display pairs a freestanding frame with a dye-sublimated fabric print that attaches magnetically. The face of the divider can carry your own photo, pattern, colour or branding, and you can change it later without replacing the frame.

  • No drilling or wall fixings: the frame stands on its own, so it suits rentals, leased offices and venues that do not allow anything on the walls.
  • Printed to your design: a calm image for a bedroom corner, a neutral texture for a shared office, or full branding for a studio, classroom or event hall.
  • A face you can update: replacement prints are sold on their own, so a rebrand or a new season does not mean buying new hardware.
  • Not permanent: take it down and the space goes back to being one room.

These cost more than an off-the-shelf screen because each print is made to order and the frame is built to be reused. If you only need a plain barrier for a few weeks, a generic screen may be enough. If the divider will be seen every day, by you, your staff or your clients, a printed face is the difference between a fix that looks temporary and one that looks planned.

How many panels does a portable room divider need?

Measure first

Measure the width of the gap you want to close and check your ceiling height. The 2 and 3 panel layouts are listed at 7.5 ft tall per panel. Sizes for the 4, 5 and 7 panel versions are on their product pages.

Match the panel count to the job

  • 2 panel: screens a single desk, a bed corner or a storage area in a studio apartment.
  • 3 panel room divider: the most flexible layout for home offices and shared rooms. It can stand in a zigzag or wrap around a workspace.
  • 4 panel room divider: covers longer runs or forms an L shape to enclose a meeting nook or reception corner.
  • 5 panel room divider and 7 panel: zone open-plan offices, classrooms, halls and event spaces, or act as a wide printed backdrop.

Placement tip

An angled zigzag or L layout gives a freestanding room divider a wider footprint than one straight line, which helps it feel more planted. Check each product page for frame and footprint details before you choose where it will stand.

Is a single magnetic display stand enough for your space?

Sometimes you do not need to divide a room. You only need to hide something or create a backdrop. A single magnetic display stand takes up less floor space and costs less than a multi-panel partition.

  • Behind a video-call desk: hides a bed, kitchen or shelving and gives you a tidy printed backdrop on camera.
  • Content and photo corners: one swappable print for product shoots or social media.
  • Reception and wayfinding: a branded panel at an entrance, front desk or classroom door.

Choosing a profile

The Portable Magnetic Straight Fabric Stand comes in 1.5 ft, 3 ft or 6 ft widths at 6.5 ft or 8 ft high. The Curved stand is 3 ft wide at 6.5 ft or 8 ft high and has a softer look. The Inclined, Rampant and Slope stands have angled profiles for a more distinctive shape. Their sizes are listed on each product page.

Should you buy the complete unit or a replacement print only?

Each product has two options. Choosing the wrong one is the most common source of confusion.

Complete unit

This is the frame plus a printed fabric face. Choose it for your first order. For example, the Fabric Magnetic Partition Display – 4 Panel is complete from CAD 1091, the 5 Panel from CAD 2527 and the 7 Panel from CAD 3238.

Replacement print only (no frame)

This is the fabric face alone, for a frame you already own. Examples include the 3 Panel at replacement print only from CAD 287, the 4 Panel from CAD 361 and the Portable Magnetic Curved Fabric Stand from CAD 127.

  • Buy the complete unit once, then refresh the look with new prints for seasonal décor, a new campaign or a rebrand.
  • Order a second print in advance so you can switch between a quiet design for daily use and a branded one for events.
  • Make sure the replacement print matches your frame's exact panel count and size.

How does ordering a printed folding partition screen work in Canada?

  1. Pick your layout and size: confirm the panel count, panel width and height on the product page.
  2. Send your artwork or ask for help: you can request a free 2D mockup to see your design on the divider before anything is made.
  3. Approve the proof: nothing prints until you approve the artwork.
  4. Production: the lead time is listed on each product page and is often 24 business hours after artwork approval.
  5. Delivery: shipping is free across Canada. Your dispatch date appears on your order confirmation.

Backdropsource has been printing custom fabric displays since 2004. If a print arrives with a printing error, it is reprinted free. Custom-printed graphics cannot be returned once the proof is approved, so check sizes and artwork carefully at the proof stage. For questions about setup, privacy and changing prints, see the FAQs below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a magnetic room divider need to be fixed to the wall? +
No, a magnetic room divider is freestanding, so it needs no screws, brackets or wall fixings. This makes it practical for rentals, leased offices and venues that ban drilling. For a steadier footprint, set multi-panel versions in a zigzag or L shape rather than one straight line. Check the product page for frame and base details.
How does the fabric stay on a magnetic partition display? +
The dye-sublimated fabric print attaches to the frame magnetically, so there is nothing to sew or lace on. That same system is what makes the face swappable: you lift off the old print and fit a new one sized for the same frame. Order replacement prints by matching your exact panel count and panel size.
Can I change the design on my room divider later? +
Yes, you can order a replacement print only, without the frame, and fit it to the divider you already own. For example, a replacement print for the 3 Panel partition is from CAD 287 and for the 4 Panel from CAD 361. This lets you update décor or branding without buying new hardware.
How wide is a 3 panel room divider when fully opened? +
A 3 panel magnetic partition is 8.4 ft wide overall with 2.8 ft panels, 19.5 ft with 6.5 ft panels, or 24 ft with 8 ft panels, all at 7.5 ft high. Setting the panels at an angle reduces the straight-line width, so measure your space with your planned layout in mind.
What is the most affordable magnetic display in this range? +
The Portable Magnetic Straight Fabric Stand is the lowest-priced complete unit, from CAD 487 with frame and print. If you need a true folding room divider rather than a single panel, the Fabric Magnetic Partition Display – 2 Panel is complete from CAD 639, and the 3 Panel from CAD 817.
Is a magnetic room divider suitable for a home, or only for offices and events? +
A magnetic room divider works well at home because the printed face can be anything you choose, such as a soft pattern, a landscape photo or a plain colour. Renters use them to separate a bed or desk area in a studio. Offices and event spaces use the same frames with branded prints.
Will a fabric room divider give me full privacy? +
A fabric room divider blocks sight lines, so it screens a desk, bed or work area from view. How much light passes through depends on the fabric and the brightness behind it, so check the fabric options on the product page. These dividers are designed for visual separation and are not sold as soundproofing.
Can I return a magnetic partition if it is the wrong size? +
Custom-printed graphics cannot be returned once you have approved the proof, so confirm panel count and dimensions before approving. Standard, non-custom items can be returned within 7 days of delivery if they are unused and in their original packaging. If a print arrives with a printing error, it is reprinted free.
