Application

Suitable for any application where the purpose is to make people meet, communicate and generally feel comfortable in their surroundings. It has a wide choice of elements and stacking/ parking arrangement options and its high level of flexibility, even in the case of complicated room proportions where sloping ceilings or circular spaces have to be accommodated, ensures optimum functionality.


It is custom manufactured for meetings, conferences, classrooms and any room requiring easy division of the space to produce multiple useable areas with high acoustic separation.

Description

Sound insulating manually operated moveable wall system providing the possibility of high level sound insulation requirements. It comprises individual top hung full height panels of equal size, made to measure to suit site dimensions. When the wall is closed between fixed abutments, it gives the appearance of a solid flush wall.
