demountable
Designed for disassembly
Demountable describes something designed to be removed, detached, or taken apart without destruction, typically for transport, storage, or reconfiguration.
The term appears most often with structures and components that are meant to be assembled and disassembled repeatedly: demountable partitions, demountable rims.
Unlike permanent fixtures, demountable elements can be relocated or replaced as needs change.
The word emphasizes intentional design for removal rather than mere removability.
