Operable Walls
Acoustic Operable Systems
ACOUSTIC OPERABLE SYSTEMS are our top of the range custom built movable walls. Several imaginative layouts and stacking arrangements are possible. This flexible approach can create many useful areas within the available working space. Our aim is to work closely with designers and architects to achieve the best solution for both practicality and cost.
Sound ratings available range from Rw37 to 53dB which covers most requirements. Results are backed by Independent Acoustic Consultants.
The system comprises of individual panels suspended from a top track. No floor track is required.
The acoustic seal to each panel is achieved by interlocking long edge profiles and retractable top and bottom seals. These seals lock between the head track and the floor and are operated by a handle which is inserted into the vertical edge of each panel. Our preferred method is where the handle is only moved through 90°; this will achieve the desired acoustic seal and is a quick and easy method for the end user. We can, however, offer a 'continuous' winding mechanism on request.
Various designs of interlocking profile are offered to compliment the face finish and aesthetic appeal of the walls. The majority of the walls we produce are finished in either real wood veneers, vinyls, laminates and melamines or spray painted. Most face finishes are possible, our technical team would be keen to discuss any special requirements. Class I or Class O surface spread of flame can also be provided.
Integral pass doors can be included in any wall system and these will meet current Disabled Regulations if so desired. The last panel of most walls has a telescopic nose, which is face operated. This panel is used to finally 'close' the wall.
Multifold Sliding Systems
MULTIFOLD SLIDING SYSTEMS are a quality range of custom built hinged panel walls. Most systems are fully floor supported through a bottom roller track system. Optional top hung systems are also available.
The system can either park to one side or bi part to both sides. Communicating doors are incorporated in most panel configurations.
The panels are quickly and easily pulled across the room opening and locked into position. The system can be either 'Centre Fold' (parked centrally to the line of track) or 'End Fold' (to one side of track).
The majority of the walls we produce are finished in either real wood veneers, vinyls, laminates, melamines or spray painted. Most face finishes are possible, our technical team would be keen to discuss any special requirements. Class I or Class O surface spread of flame can also be provided.
Sound reductions from Rw35 to 44dB are available.
The aluminium long edge profiles to each panel have rubber seals which ensure an airtight seal when the panels are closed. The top and bottom of each panel has rubber sweep seals which provide the reasonable level of sound reduction.
Concertina Systems
CONCERTINA SYSTEMS are often selected where budget is a primary factor and are perfect for providing a less expensive means of dividing rooms. The system is of a high quality construction which has not been compromised due to it's cost. The faces are a heavy duty vinyl available in a vast range of colour options. Flame retardant finishes are also offered as an option.
Usually supplied as top hung only into a fully prepared opening. The systems can either fold to one side or bi part to both sides.
3 levels of Acoustic performance are offered, Rwl5, 23 or 30dB.
The systems are quickly and easily operated and are particularly suitable for use in schools, nurseries, hospitals and village halls.
