Established in 2015, ModernGlide works with architects, interior designers, main contractors, fit out contractors and end users throughout the UK, providing complete support from initial specification and technical design through to manufacture, installation and ongoing service.

Our range of movable wall systems provides architects and designers with flexible solutions for dividing spaces while maintaining acoustic performance, functionality and architectural design.

MOVABLE ACOUSTIC WALL SPECIALISTS

ModernGlide specialises in the design, supply and installation of movable acoustic walls and sliding folding partitions for projects where spaces need to adapt to different uses.

Our movable wall systems allow large rooms to be divided into smaller functional spaces when required and opened again when a larger area is needed.

Applications range from meeting rooms and offices through to schools, universities, hotels, conference facilities, community buildings, places of worship and major commercial developments.

ModernGlide systems are available with acoustic performance up to Rw 59 dB, depending on the selected product and configuration.

The range includes solid acoustic movable walls, sliding folding partitions, flush glazed movable walls and single glazed partition systems.

MODERNGLIDE PRODUCT RANGE

The ModernGlide range includes a selection of movable wall systems designed to meet different acoustic, operational, architectural and budget requirements.

MG100

The MG100 is a high performance movable acoustic wall system offering acoustic ratings up to Rw 59 dB.

Individual panels are suspended from an overhead track with no floor track required, allowing the panels to be moved and stacked when the wall is opened.

The MG100 is suitable for projects requiring high levels of acoustic separation combined with maximum flexibility in the use of interior space.

MG200

The MG200 is a sliding folding acoustic partition designed to provide a practical and cost effective method of dividing interior spaces.

Available with acoustic performance up to 49 dB, the system uses linked panels that fold together in either centre folding or end folding configurations.

MG500

The MG500 is a flush glazed sliding folding acoustic partition combining transparency with flexible space division.

The system provides acoustic performance up to 43 dB and uses an aluminium framed construction with flush toughened glass to both faces.

MG600

The MG600 is a premium flush glazed acoustic movable wall providing acoustic performance up to 50 dB.

Individual glazed panels are suspended from an overhead track and can be moved and stacked away when the wall is opened.

The system provides maximum transparency while maintaining high levels of acoustic separation between adjoining spaces.

MG900

The MG900 is a single glazed sliding folding partition designed for contemporary and industrial style interiors.

Available with Crittall style glazing, the system can be configured with hinged, sliding or pivoting panels and can integrate with standard fixed glazed partition systems.

PANELHUSH ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

ModernGlide also provides the PanelHush range of acoustic products for controlling echo and reverberation within interior spaces.

PanelHush solutions include PET acoustic wall panels, PET acoustic ceiling panels, sliding acoustic panels, hanging acoustic panels, fabric wrapped acoustic wall panels and fabric wrapped acoustic ceiling panels.

PanelHush PET products are manufactured using polyester fibre containing a minimum of 75% post consumer recycled PET.

The range provides architects and interior designers with considerable flexibility in panel size, shape, colour and arrangement, allowing acoustic treatment to become part of the architectural design of the space.

PanelHush products are suitable for offices, meeting rooms, schools, classrooms, universities, restaurants, community buildings, leisure environments and other spaces where reflected sound and reverberation need to be controlled.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE

Acoustic performance is an important consideration when designing flexible interior spaces.

ModernGlide provides movable wall systems with different levels of acoustic performance, allowing the appropriate system to be selected according to the requirements of the project.

Our movable acoustic wall range includes systems with laboratory acoustic ratings up to Rw 59 dB.

PanelHush acoustic products provide sound absorption within the room, helping control reflected sound, echo and reverberation.

This allows ModernGlide to provide solutions for both acoustic separation between spaces and sound absorption within spaces.

ARCHITECT AND SPECIFIER SUPPORT

ModernGlide works closely with architects and interior designers from the early stages of a project.

Our experienced technical and drawing team can provide advice on product selection, acoustic requirements, panel configurations, stacking arrangements, structural requirements and installation considerations.

Technical drawings can be produced to assist with design development, coordination and approval.

Our team can also undertake site surveys to confirm dimensions and assess the proposed installation area before manufacture.

This early involvement can help ensure that the selected movable wall or acoustic treatment integrates correctly with the surrounding architecture and building structure.

TECHNICAL DRAWINGS AND CAD SUPPORT

ModernGlide provides technical drawing support for movable wall projects.

Drawings can show the proposed panel arrangement, track configuration, stacking position, opening dimensions and other relevant project information.

These drawings provide architects, contractors and project teams with the information required to coordinate the movable wall with ceilings, structural supports, finishes and surrounding construction.

Following approval of the final drawings, the system can progress into manufacture.

PROJECT SPECIFICATION

Every project has different requirements.

ModernGlide can assist with selecting the appropriate system according to acoustic performance, opening dimensions, panel configuration, stacking requirements, finishes, glazing and operational requirements.

A wide range of finishes is available across the ModernGlide range, including melamine, laminate, timber veneer, magnetic writing surfaces and other decorative finishes depending on the selected system.

Glazed movable wall systems are also available where transparency and natural light are important elements of the interior design.

UK WIDE INSTALLATION

ModernGlide provides installation throughout the UK using experienced installation teams familiar with movable wall and acoustic panel systems.

Our project team coordinates installation with the contractor and site team, helping ensure that the system is installed correctly and integrated with the surrounding construction.

Projects range from individual movable walls and small acoustic installations through to major developments containing multiple movable wall systems and acoustic treatments.

COMMERCIAL AND WORKPLACE INTERIORS

ModernGlide movable walls are widely suited to commercial office and workplace environments where flexibility is increasingly important.

Meeting rooms, boardrooms, conference areas, training rooms and collaborative spaces can be divided or opened according to changing occupancy and operational requirements.

Glazed systems can maintain visibility and natural light while solid acoustic systems can provide higher levels of acoustic separation where privacy is required.

EDUCATION

Schools, colleges and universities frequently require spaces that can accommodate different class sizes, teaching methods and activities.

Movable acoustic walls allow classrooms, teaching spaces, halls and multifunctional areas to be divided when required and reopened for larger groups and events.

PanelHush acoustic treatments can also be introduced to help control reverberation within teaching and learning environments.

HOSPITALITY AND CONFERENCE SPACES

Hotels, conference centres and hospitality venues often require spaces that can accommodate different events throughout the day.

Movable acoustic walls can divide conference rooms, function spaces and meeting areas into smaller rooms while allowing the full area to be restored when required.

Different finishes and glazed options allow the movable wall to coordinate with the architectural design of the venue.

COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS

Community centres, village halls, places of worship, leisure facilities and public buildings often need to accommodate a wide range of activities within the same building.

Flexible movable wall systems allow these spaces to be divided according to changing requirements while acoustic products can help control reverberation within larger rooms.

DESIGN, SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION

ModernGlide provides a complete service covering product selection, technical support, site surveys, drawings, manufacture, delivery and installation.

We approach projects individually rather than assuming that one movable wall system is suitable for every application.

With manufacturing resources in the UK, Holland and Portugal, ModernGlide can select the most appropriate product and manufacturing route according to the technical, acoustic, architectural and programme requirements of the project.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Since ModernGlide was established in 2015, we have delivered movable wall and acoustic projects across the UK.

Our experience covers commercial offices, education, healthcare, hospitality, community buildings, public buildings and specialist interior projects.
