Crafted for Reverence: Custom Mechitzes by A&W Metal Works
Creating a sacred, respectful space for prayer and learning is essential in every shul, beis medrash, and mikvah. That’s why A&W Metal Works designs and builds custom mechitzes—privacy dividers that uphold halachic standards while elevating the aesthetic of your sanctuary.
Our mechitzes are more than functional furniture. They’re carefully designed architectural features that integrate beauty, durability, and purpose. Whether you're furnishing a traditional synagogue or modern prayer space, A&W delivers mechitzes that fit both your spiritual values and your interior vision.
Built for Beauty, Privacy & Durability
Each mechitza is crafted with the understanding that it must serve two important roles—preserving dignity through separation while enhancing the space’s design.
-
Privacy Where It Matters: Choose from fully opaque wood panels for complete division, or incorporate glass tops for a blend of openness and respect.
-
Timeless Materials: We offer solid wood construction, tempered or frosted glass inserts, and optional metal detailing. All panels are expertly joined and reinforced to stand strong through daily use.
-
Smooth Mobility or Fixed Placement: Need a permanent installation for your sanctuary or flexible units for multipurpose rooms? Our mechitzes are available as stationary panels or on discreet casters for easy movement and storage.
Each standard unit measures 4 feet wide and can be connected modularly to cover large spaces. Heights are customizable based on your halachic or architectural requirements.
Designed to Reflect Your Space
At A&W Metal Works, no two mechitzes are the same. We tailor every detail—from height and panel design to finish and trim—based on your preferences:
-
Panel Styles: Solid wood, wood with lattice, or half-glass designs
-
Glass Options: Clear, frosted, etched, or patterned safety glass
-
Wood Finishes: Walnut, White Oak, Brown, Red Chestnut, Natural, and more
-
Accents: Optional carvings, moldings, or metallic inlays to match your ark or bimah
Whether you're matching existing millwork or starting from scratch, our design team works with your architect, rabbi, or facility planner to ensure visual harmony across your space.
Halachic Sensitivity, Practical Wisdom
Our mechitzes are crafted by common halachic guidelines, and we’re happy to customize based on your community's unique minhagim. We’ve outfitted mechitzes for:

-
Wedding halls and event spaces

We understand the need for respect, modesty, and order, and we build each unit to reflect those values.
