Movable Walls Achieve Top Acoustic Rating
Alco Beldan have the largest available range of movable wall systems in the world.
Their NW100 wall panel achieves a tested acoustic rating of RW 57dB whilst maintaining a panel thickness of 100mm.
ULTIMA and ELITE.
Ultima and Elite represent our range of individual panel movable walls.
Both systems have been developed to provide a range of design options which can efficiently shape and divide space, enabling different activities to be accommodated to suit the needs of changing occupier requirements.
Panels can be smoothly and effortlessly moved on overhead tracks without the inconvenience of floor guides, and when closed form a stable high acoustic wall.
Each panel is individually manufactured to suit exact site requirements, and can incorporate various options such as pass doors, glazed apertures, and abutment panels where the layout may require corner, three-way or cross over configurations.
All systems have been designed and manufactured to offer the highest specification of acoustic insulation possible, offering between Rw 38 and 57dB.
To achieve these insulation values we utilise the highest performance components for the manufacture of items such as our interlocking extruded aluminium seals, which when combined with our rapid action scissor mechanism and high density acoustic insulation materials offer the optimum acoustic performance to effectively divide any space.
A choice of tracks and single or two point suspension systems with infinite parking solutions will satisfy client needs, and due to the unique construction of quality roller mechanism will ensure that panels are operated with the minimum of effort.
Our Ultima and Elite ranges can and have been supplied in most conceivable finishes, including the finest timber veneers, specialist stretched fabric panels, high-pressure laminates, specialist mirrored glass facings, lacquered spray finish, as well as melamine, or indeed any combinations including skirtings and dado rails to match surrounding finishes.
EXCEL.
The Excel range of sliding folding systems offers an economic alternative to our Ultima and Elite systems.
Excel is ideal where a lower level of acoustic insulation may be required or where space needs to be divided quickly and regularly.
Excel is a continuously hinged system with fixed multiple sweep seals top and bottom.
For added flexibility or where the buildings structure may prove unsuitable this system is available either top hung with no floor track/guide or floor supported with a top guide.
Acoustic insulation is available from Rw 38 to 46dB, with a panel thickness of either 68 or 100mm.
Stacking options can suit most requirements with either centrally stacked or end folding layouts offered as a single or bi-parting wing.
Operation is performed by inserting a removable key to the face of every other panel which activates integral espagnolette bolts, avoiding the need for awkward and unsightly floor bolts.
SAPHIRE.
Saphire sliding glass walls combine the contemporary elegance of glass with advanced technology to provide a highly versatile all glass wall.
Individual panels slide on two rollers suspended from an overhead track and can be driven manually or automatically.
When not in use the panels can be parked in a remote cupboard or at the end of the opening; once in position the panels are secured with locking bolts to provide a stable wall capable of a high degree of security.
A range of panel options permit this system to be used in a number of applications which can include single and double pass doors, working around curves and angled junctions.
DIAMOND.
Diamond sliding glass walls offer the maximum possible glazed area uninterrupted by either horizontal or vertical framing.
Patch fittings in the corners of each individual panel provide the mountings for running gear and locking hardware.
Each sliding panel is mounted on two rollers suspended from the top track.
The bottom patches incorporate connections to join one panel to another and locking bolts to secure the bottom of each panel to the floor.
The hinged end panel is the means of opening and closing the wall and includes special door furniture to act as a pass door.
The Diamond is a lightweight system which is easy to stack away in special side tracks at the end of the opening.
