Skyfold® Classic™
Skyfold® Classic™
Vertically stacking, fully automatic, acoustic moveable wall.
Application
The wall is custom manufactured to each application and many finish options are available.
Can also be used in combination of conventional folding wall systems to allow for pedestrian pass doors where needed. Consult manufacturer for further details.
Description
Vertically stacking, fully automatic acoustic moveable wall comprising of continuous, horizontally mounted panels of equal size and width, made to measure to suit site dimensions.
When the wall is closed between fixed walls it gives the appearance of a solid wall, incorporating black inlays, gaskets and seals of various sizes.
Skyfold® Classic™ has many advantages over conventional operable wall partitions. It has a modern design and a simple turnkey operation which retracts the partition quietly and effortlessly into the ceiling.
Acoustically tested to BS EN 140-3, Skyfold® Zenith™ has the same advantages as the Classic series, however it rises vertically and folds at the top only allowing for obstructions at low level. Consult manufacturer for further details. Skyfold® Mirage has a vertical stacking arrangement.
The product can be linked to the Building Fire Alarm system to raise the wall to allow for an exit strategy.
Motor:
Includes an electromagnetic braking system in case of power failure during activation, spring cushioned torque arm assembly for ‘soft’ start and stop and a torque sensor safety feature to stop the partition motion if an obstruction is detected.
Features and benefits:
- Easy to use, turnkey operation.
- Excellent acoustic properties.
- Fully automated and quiet.
- No floor or wall tracks.
- Retracts into the ceiling.
- 3 m per minute speed of operation.
