Folding Operable Walls
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 5.6m.
With fully articulating hinges that allow the panels to be positioned in any configuration you need, folding operable walls offer incredible freedom to change your space. That’s probably why they’re our most popular operable wall solution!
The lightweight design and smooth-rolling wheels make it easy for almost anyone to set up and position these partitions on hard or carpeted surfaces, while the pinnable acoustic fabric is designed to absorb sound, minimising noise and echoing in large rooms. Once you’re finished with your partitions and need to open up the space again, they fold up with ease to neatly store against the wall.
Sliding Operable Walls
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 4.6m.
As tall as our folding partitions and covered in the same sound-dampening fabric, sliding operable walls offer the same visual barrier and acoustic performance. However, they also feature a telescoping design that means they can only be opened in a straight line. This makes them perfect for spaces that simply need to be divided in two.
This partition is connected to the wall with the same pivoting attachment point as the folding variant, allowing a little more flexibility to select the direction it opens. The overlapping panels mean that the partition loses a little bit of length compared to the folding operable walls.

Installation Requirements
Surface
These partitions can be used on hard and carpeted floors, as long as the surface is flat, even, and only made from a single material. Transitioning from a hard surface to a carpeted floor can compromise the stability of the partition, and may damage the sliding or folding mechanism over time.
Wall Mounting
Due to its height, the partition must be attached to a wall to prevent lateral movement and instability. The wall will not be serving any load-bearing purposes, and therefore no structural beams or permanent alterations will need to be made prior to mounting.
Acoustic Performance
Panel Sound Rating
Our operable walls are rated at an NRC value of approximately 0.5, which indicates the amount of sound that’s absorbed by the surface. This does not indicate the perceived noise reduction which will vary from room to room.
Acoustic Seals
No acoustic seals.
Closure Systems
You have the option of a sliding (telescoping) or a folding (accordion) closing system.
Budget & Value Estimation
Prices start at $680 (inc. GST) per metre + shipping.
Warranty
3 year product warranty on material and workmanship defects from the date of delivery.
Customisations
You’ll have an option of 7 colour finishes which you can apply to each individual panel in any combination you desire.
If additional customisation is required, such as the installation of polycarbonate windows, a door, or taller or longer walls, please contact us to discuss your needs.
How Adelaide Businesses Can Benefit from Operable Walls
Customising Spaces in SA
From dividing large classrooms in Mount Barker to creating a temporary office meeting room in Seaton, operable walls give Adelaide’s schools, restaurants, offices, and even industrial warehouses more freedom to change the layout of their buildings.
A more versatile and cost-effective space-management solution compared to fixed walls or expensive, rail-mounted partitions, operable walls can be set up in as little as an hour, rolled into position in seconds, and rolled back against the wall in moments without any heavy lifting or expensive installation processes.
Sound Management
Minimising noise and distraction is a challenge that almost every industry will face, and a wall-mounted partition may just be the solution.
Offering Adelaide businesses outstanding acoustic performance at just a fraction of the price of other partitioning solutions, our operable walls are built extra tall and come covered in sound dampening fabric that reduces noise and echoing in large rooms that are prone to reverberation. This allows you to create a quieter, more comfortable, and less distracting work environment for all.
Track-Free and Hassle-Free
With wall-mounted partitions, you get the benefits and acoustic performance of a taller wall, plus some of the flexibility of a completely freestanding partition, all at just a fraction of the cost of a track-mounted system! Our operable walls are so easy to set up you can do it yourself in as little as an hour without the need for builders, permits, or costly alterations to your space.
Our operable walls are also significantly easier to operate than track-mounted partitions, and can even be disconnected from the wall and transported to a new location, making them a popular choice in rented spaces.
HVAC-Friendly Design
Designed not to compromise HVAC flow, our partitions feature a gap at both the top and bottom. With air, heating, and cooling flowing uninhibited through your space, there’s no need for council or building permits prior to installing your partitions.
Loved by Industry Leaders Throughout South Australia
Lightweight, easy to use, and with a narrow-folding design for discreet storage, staff and facility managers alike can benefit from the convenience of operable walls.
Creating quiet and more private spaces, while also serving as an excellent storage solution, many of our customers use their operable walls on a daily basis without any heavy lifting, or slow and frustrating setup processes. Their highly flexible design means that they’re one of the most versatile partitions on the market, so just the one operable wall can be used to do the work of multiple lesser options.
The high level of portability also makes them extremely popular in rented spaces where permanent alterations may not be permitted or practical.
Unmatched Versatility
Every day in almost every industry, our operable walls are being put to a multitude of uses. Here are just some of the ways industry leaders in South Australia are using our partitions:
- Sound and echo management in large rooms
- Classroom dividers for schools and universities
- Crowd control and space management for public events
- Storage and organisation in retail and industrial warehouses
- Dining and function room walls in restaurants, pubs, and other establishments

Complete Acoustic Solutions for Adelaide & SA wide
Operable Walls offer impressive acoustic benefits by almost “soundproofing” one space to another, but they can’t fully address the acoustic challenges created within that specific room.
