You know you need an operable wall, but now the question is what format? Vertical retractable or horizontal? Let’s look at the panel configuration options that are available for horizontal operable wall partitions.

Operable Partition Systems

Operable partitions are one of the most flexible solutions for making the most of your interior space. With Modernfold operable partitions, you can change room sizes and layouts in just minutes to maximize the use of floor space and help control sound. There are three operable wall panel configurations available to meet your design needs; single, paired, and continuously hinged.

Modernfold Single Panel Systems

Ideal for multi-purpose, conference, hospitality, and convention facilities, single panel systems provide the ultimate in versatility and flexibility. Single panel systems can help solve complex layout challenges, providing multiple room setups and allowing for repositioning the location of pass doors and work surfaces.

The SmartTrack™ suspension system simplifies setup and storage. Single panel systems can be stored remotely.

Modernfold offers four products under the Acousti-Seal® Single Panel Model:

• Acousti-Seal® Encore®
• Acousti-Seal® Legacy®
• Acosuti-Seal® Premier®
• Acousti-Seal® Legacy® – Fire Rated

Modernfold Paired Panel Systems

Paired panels are hinged together in groups of two allowing for quick and easy setup. Perfect for straight line openings that don’t require storage in multiple locations, paired panels do not require an auxiliary storage track or support.

For applications that involve frequent use like classrooms, meeting rooms or office spaces, durable paired panels are an excellent choice.

Continuously hinged panels are connected together in a train and extend as one complete wall unit. Electric operation means you don’t need to manually move partitions into place, facilitating quick setup time and providing efficient and convenient separation.

Continuously hinged panels feature keyed switches to prevent unauthorized operation. A state-of-the-art Presto® Package safety system is also available to allow for touch-n-go operation while ensuring safe operation of the electric partitions.

Continuously hinged panels offer simple operation for straight-line openings in school gyms, hotels, and board rooms.
