Acoustic systems, the highest specification movable wall available, are designed tocover every conceivable application where sound reduction is a necessary criteria.Several options are available with either exposed protective edge or concealedprofiles. The systems comprise of individual panels suspended from a top track onlyand each panel has top and bottom retractable seals that lock between track andfloor. Operation of seals is performed by a quick and easy 90° turn and a varietyof stacking arrangements are available to ensure the best use of valuable space.Pass doors can be fitted if required. Sound ratings can be met from Rw 37 to 53dB.On request independent acoustic consultants are used to determine the actual soundattenuation of the wall after fitting on site.

Finishes can incorporate routed grooves or applied mouldings and are available inhardwood veneers, vinyl, melamine, laminate or spray painted. Some finishes can beprovided with Class I or Class O Fire Ratings.

Multifold operable wall systems are hinged, sliding panelsystems specified for floor track fitting where no support isavailable above.

This range is designed for rooms where multiple uses andrapid layout changes are required. The aluminium edgedprofiles to the vertical side of each panel are fitted withrubber box seals to ensure an airtight closure between panelsand a reasonable level of sound reduction is achieved fromthe use of bubble seals at the top and bottom of the panels.

The folding configurations are tailored to the client’sindividual requirements and can stack at one or both ends,either in the centre or offset. The system can incorporaterouted grooves, to provide the appearance of dado rails orskirting, and as with the Acoustic range a variety of finishesare available, some of which can be provided with Class I orClass O Fire Ratings.

GLAZED|SYSTEMS

Glazed systems are an increasingly popular andattractive sliding/folding partition option. The fullyglazed screens are a fresh, modern and exciting wayof providing effective space division without visuallysectioning off areas. They are ideal for shoppingmalls, leisure centres, schools, offices, golf clubs,restaurants and banks. Glazed movable wallscomprise of individual panels supported from aheavy duty head track. Panels either stack to oneside or are bi-parting.

Swing doors or full height pass doors are available.The GS 35 single glazed system is manufacturedwith anodised or powder coated aluminium top andbottom rails. The GS 100 double glazed systemcomes complete with a painted frit/border to thepanel edge and integral blinds can be incorporatedwhere required. Film, etched, or sand blastedmanifestations can be applied to suit customersartwork. Sound reduction has been achievedon site up to 35dB.

Acoustic Performance: Sound reduction dB ratings are oftenquoted from laboratory test results which are misleading in respectof final performance values. They are merely useful for initialspecification purposes. Independent on site tests as carried out byDuvale plc are recommended as in situ results will differ fromlaboratory test certification and are therefore the only true guideto achievable sound attenuation.
