Maximum face panel dimensions, 5’x 10’ (1524mm x 3048mm)

Furniture and accessory attachment methods

Many furniture systems can be attached to the Executive wall system. This is done by the

installation of a slotted standard into the gap between face panels or along our horizontal rail system

allowing for off module furniture attachment. For some Furniture systems the width of the standard

required is wider than our gap, therefore the panels need to be adjusted to accommodate the

attachment. This can easily be done, but will require panel dimensions to be changed to accommodate

the wider standard.

Accessories available

Slot wall accessories are available from most office supply distributors.

Conversion of solid to glazing

Any Executive frame can be converted on site from Glazing to Solid or Solid to Glazing. The

section of wall does not need to be removed for this transformation. A Glazing kit would be ordered

from Partition Systems and shipped to site. The installer would be able to make the transition in about

1-2 hours. The only constraint is there can not be any electrical running through the area if it is to be

made into a glazing section.

Partial height system

The Executive Series can be configured as a partial height system and maintain all of its

functionality.

Environmental benefits

No PVC components are used in the Executive wall system

Wall system is 100% re-usable

Aluminum framing is 100% recyclable

Face panels are made from Recycled wood products

Clean installation, no adhesives or dust on site

Structural ratings

Loads attached to the face panels are limited to 50 pounds (22.7 Kg) for a vertical load, or 15

pounds (6.8 Kg) for a cantilevered load. This is the allowable load applied per panel (See

detailed loading conditions sheet).

Loads attached to the slotted standards in the gaps between face panels are limited to 400

pounds (182Kg) vertical load per side, but the torque must be limited to 2400 inch pounds (27.7

Kg m), this means that a load of 200 pounds must be centered no more than 12 inches away

from the face of the wall.

The maximum total load which can be applied to one section of wall is 800 pounds (364Kg).

At the above load ratings there will be no permanent damage to the wall or its

components.

Trims

The Executive Wall system was designed to eliminate the use of top and base trims and any PVC

products. Panels are used above and below windows on all glazing, doors and solid panels.

Lead time

Once signed off drawings are received, the lead time may vary from 2 to 6 weeks depending on

the size of the project.
