Folding
Partition
A Folding Partition
(or Operable
Wall)
has been a mainsty in educational,
institutional, religous, and civic
facilities since the 1920's. A Folding
Partition has become one of the most important
aspects to effective space management in
building design and use. A Folding
Partition is usually much more expensive than
an Accordion Partition, however, they can
achieve excellent sound transmission
results.
A Folding
Partition can be both electric or manual, and
has three style of panel layouts including,
continuosly hinged, paired and individual
panels. These partitions can be surfaced with
almost any style of wall covering including
laminate, carpet, vinyl and fabric. Options
include pass doors, chalkboards, markerboards
and tackboards.
A Folding
Partition, like any piece of mechanical
equipment also requires normal maintenance. The
overhead tracks require lubrication and
releveling at times. Trolley assemblies also
require lubrication, vertical panels require
alignment, floor seals need to be checked and
of course the motors, drives, chains, clutches,
and other electrical components need to be
checked on regular basis.
