HOW TO GET MOVABLE WALL -
Things I have to know before buying movable wall.
You are considering
purchasing movable wall? We are here to help you and get the necessary
additional support.
Here in Movable-Wall.com
we offer a great wide selection of operable, folding accordion, glass, and
mobile partitions. Each has an array of options. With all these choices,
selecting the right product for your needs can be confusing.
We suggest
you do some pre-planning before consulting with us or with other design
professional, which will help to narrow the choices and give you just the
products you need.
Below you will find some basic themes to consider:
- You have to decide what space you
want to divide
If you wish to divide an existing
area, determine what space you wish to divide. As you look at the space, notice
the location of exposed sprinkler heads, columns, windows, chair rails, or any
other mechanicals that could interfere with the installation or operation of the
proposed partitions.
Make certain the new space includes everything
needed for the activities it will accommodate. Stand in the space and look
around. Does it have adequate lighting? Heat? Ventilation? Electricity? Your
plans may need to include additional or rerouted mechanical
services.
- You will need
support
Most partitions are supported from
the building’s overhead structure. A check above the ceiling will need to be
made to make certain if there are any obstructions in the area in which you wish
to place a partition. A design professional may need to determine if the
overhead structure is adequate to support the partition.
If inadequate,
there are floor supported models and portable partitions that could be used or
self-supporting system that needs no overhead structure.
- How many partitions will you
need?
Estimate how many partitions will
you need and what is their approximate size? If you do not know the techical details,
please contact us for further assistance.
- What type of activities will be
held in the room?
This will determine how much sound
control is needed. A regular study class will have much lower acoustical
requirements than the music room. The higher the acoustical rating, the higher
the price of the partitions
Our everyday customers often request the
highest movable partition sound rating without considering the sound control of
the entire room. The room in which the partitions are located must have a rating
equivalent to that of the partitions to achieve optimum sound control.
Independent acousticians are always available to conduct sound
tests.
- How much storage space is
available?
Location of the partition storage
space affects what configuration of partition is needed.
You have to
determine the area where the partitions will be stored or "stacked" when they
are not in the opening. Typically this is at one or both ends of the opening. If
there is not enough space in the room, the partition can be moved to a remote
storage area with the use of additional track. Panels can even be stored
parallel with the perimeter walls if needed.
Partitions are often stored
in a pocket, which is a closet created for that purpose. Movable-wall.com offers
pocket doors which cover the pocket opening. The pocket doors may be factory
finished with the same covering as the partition. They may also be shipped to
the job site unfinished for field finishing to match the perimeter
walls.
- Do you have special finishing
needs?
We have wide selection of different
vinyls, thousands of colours, patterns and wooden veneers. Also different
melamines, laminates, fabrics, high pressure laminates, chair rails, and other
design features may be added.
- Will you need chalk boards, dry
erase marker boards or tack boards?
These surfaces come in handy
especially for meeting rooms and classrooms. They are available at an upcharge
and are easy to add to new panels. Pockets to hold erasers and marker pens are
also available as your request.
- If you still have upcoming
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and let us help you to choose
the right movable wall for you.
