Not all Movable Walls are Created Equal

An Alco Beldan product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Feb 23, 2004

Externally, most movable wall panels look the same, but it's not simply the outside which makes a good movable wall, its what's inside the panel which makes the difference.

A movable wall is a significant investment and unless you already have a movable wall installed, how can you tell how good it is? Are you buying a juicy peach or a bitter lemon; you can only tell by opening it.

So what makes our movable walls different? * Ease of Operation.

* Durability.

* Measured performance.

* Attention to detail.

Alco Beldan movable wall systems are designed, manufactured, supplied and installed all by one UK based company.

When comparing products: * ask to see a sample panel.

* sk to see an installation.

* ask to visit the factory.

Alco Beldan has a nationwide team of movable wall specialists will be happy to accompany you on a visit to demonstrate the performance and benefits our regular clients have come to expect.

THE BENEFITS OF A NW100 PANEL.

Our panels have: * a standard thickness of 100mm.

This means same panel construction throughout the range of sound reduction ratings from 40-58 dB * a robust, welded steel frame.

This provides a rigid structure to mount our high pressure springs for ultimate panel stability, acoustic performance and a longer life span.

* a scissor link mechanism.

This gives a quick and easy operation of the seals; and much higher seal pressure as standard (2KN per panel) than with simple cam type systems.

* high pressure seals.

This ensures a reliable and positive contact with floor and ceiling track and provides unrivalled panel stability and acoustic rating.

* long travel seals.

Gives better tolerance of 'out-of-level' floors and 'live' loading of structure * a positive height locking device.

Which means that panels do not drop out of level alignment, and allows height adjustment without opening ceiling, saving on servicing charges.

* magnetic edge profiles.

Positive and tight interlocking of panels at vertical joints.

* internal telescopic unit.

Operating pressure seals extend right into top and bottom corners achieving better acoustic rating than fixed flap seals.

* heavy duty tracks and rollers.

This allows for tall installations up to 10 metres high.
