PANEL STACKING ARRANGEMENTS

CONFIGURATION ADVANTAGE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

CENTRE STACK

This is the most common stacking

arrangement. For extra stability,

the panels are operated and

hinged in pairs. With a full height

pass door option, the door will

open to only one side of track.

No additional

headwork required for

stacking area (only a

straight track

required). Ideal for

bulkhead Installations.

Low cost

Stronger structural

support required due

to the ability to stack all

panels anywhere along

the track (point load).

Can accommodate up

to 15 deg corners.

SIDE OFFSET STACK

The easiest way to operate panels

as they are individually pushed

alongside the track. All the panels

will stack to one side of the track.

Easy to operate

Point load only at the

stack end

Can accommodatecorners and columns

Extra headwork

required for the stack

track. (If fitted to a

bulkhead, a separate

bulkhead required for

track).

REMOTE OFFSET STACK

Similar to side stack, but panels

are moved along the track to a

remote stacking area away from

the main track eg. Into a separate

niche, stacking bay, storage room

etc.

Can be stored in a

separate area

No panels seen when

wall is open

Can accommodate

corners and columns

Extra costs involved

with requirements for

extra tracking and

headwork.

ACOUSTIC SEALS

PANEL FINISHES

There are several factors to be considered while deciding on the appropriate seals for the Acoustic

movable wall application. The main factor is the desired Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating.

Many find a fixed sweeping seal to be sufficient, but for a higher STC rating, a retractable, mechanical seal

is suggested. A mechanical retractable top and bottom seal allows for easier movement of the panels

when retracted, and ensures a more stable wall when engaged onto the floor.

The 7000 Series Acoustic movable walls are supplied in bare MDF finish. However, the external surface of

panels can be customised with various options of external finishes which includes: Fabric, Pin-board,

Whiteboard, Vinyl (or) Veneer.

ACOUSTIC STC (SOUND TRANSMISSION CONTROL)

STC CHART AND AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:

34 - 38dB Loud speech understood Schools

38 42dB Normal speech audible Libraries / Laboratories

40 44dB Loud speech audible Meeting / Conference rooms

43 47dB Loud speech barely audible Hotel Banquet halls / Board rooms

46 50dB Shouting not audible Community halls / Private meeting rooms

STC RATING & PANEL WEIGHTS:

41 dB 21 Kg/Sqm

42 dB 23 Kg/ Sqm

44 dB 26 Kg/ Sqm

45 dB 39 Kg/ Sqm

A typical insulated wall has a STC rating between 34-39, and so, even our most basic movable wall will

perform better than a standard partition. While deciding the best sound rating for acoustic movable

wall, it is important to consider few points.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link - In this case, the weak links are the unattended spaces which

easily allows for sound transmission, viz., the air ducts, open space in the false ceiling etc.

CLOSURES

STILES

JAMBS

To ensure that the Acoustic movable wall flush with wall surface in closed position and still open easily

when required; an expanding telescopic panel is used, which seals up against the wall with the turn of a

crank handle. Another option is a pass door, which will allow for access to separated rooms when the wall

is still in closed position.

The aluminium panel and door stiles are designed to achieve excellent sound insulation qualities. Using

an interlocking male-female principle, the stiles lock the panels together and become airtight with the

use of rubber seals. The MDF panel faces are protected within the aluminium frame, leaving 10mm

exposed aluminium surrounds when the panels are closed.

The ends of the opening can be fitted with an adjustable jamb, which can compensate tolerances in wall

surface by plus or minus 10mm. Sufficient stud structure is required behind the jambs, particularly

behind a door jamb, to carry the weight of a door.
