Common questions about Movable Partitions & Operable Acoustic Walls

What are operable acoustic walls?

They are movable partitions that divide one large room into separately usable, acoustically separated spaces and retract when the full room is needed. Skyfold walls descend vertically from the ceiling at the touch of a button, so no floor tracks and no wall storage pockets are required; Variflex horizontal systems suit plans where a sliding wall works better.

How much sound separation can they achieve?

Skyfold vertical retractable walls reach a sound reduction index of up to 59 dB. System length is unlimited and system height reaches up to 14,000 mm.

Where are operable walls used?

Banquet halls, boardrooms, auditoriums, training rooms and hotels — with finishes in vinyl, fabric, wood veneer, specialty metals and laminates.

What is MOVEO Glass?

MOVEO Glass is a fully glazed operable partition system that combines visual transparency with flexible room division and documented sound reduction of up to 50 dB.

What are the dimensions of MOVEO Glass?

The MOVEO Glass technical brochure specifies a 100 mm element thickness, clear heights from 2,000 to 4,000 mm and element widths from 600 to 1,250 mm.

Where can MOVEO Glass be used?

MOVEO Glass is documented for offices and conference rooms, restaurants, hotels, lounges and foyers, education and leisure facilities, and other spaces requiring flexible transparent room configurations.

Can MOVEO Glass include blinds?

Yes. The documented system options include electrically controlled blinds integrated within the glazing elements.
