Folding Operable Walls Brisbane
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 5.6m.
Featuring rotating hinges that allow for a range of configurations, our folding operable walls are our most flexible and versatile mounted partitions.
With independently moving panels that can be conveniently rolled into a range of different shapes and then neatly folded up against the wall when not in use, folding operable walls are a fabulous option for maximising your space without ever committing to a single layout. This ‘future-proof’ design can also help save you money in the long-term on additional partitioning solutions.
Sliding Operable Walls Brisbane
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 4.6m.
With a clever telescoping design that glides out when needed, our sliding operable walls only open in a straight line, making them perfect for use in a space that simply needs to be divided in two. Featuring the same pivoting mechanism at the point of wall attachment as our folding operable walls, the entire partition can be angled for a little more flexibility in deciding which way the partition opens.
Due to the slight overlap of the panels, our sliding operable walls aren’t quite as long as the folding variant.

How Brisbane-Based Businesses Benefit from Operable Walls
Transform Your Space in Moments
Whether you run a law firm in Ipswich, or are heading up a busy office in Brisbane City, our operable wall systems can be installed in less than an hour to maximise your space and improve acoustics.
Lightweight and set on smooth-rolling wheels, almost anyone can slide the operable wall panels into position without the need for heavy lifting. If you select our folding operable wall system, you can configure your panels to virtually any shape to suit your space and requirements.
Improve Acoustics
No matter the industry, a loud and echoing room can be a difficult environment to work in. Extra tall and covered in pinnable, sound-dampening fabric, our operable partition walls offer outstanding acoustic performance as they absorb sound, reducing echoes and overall noise within the space.
Our fabric operable wall panels make a particularly good option for Queensland businesses with large spaces that are prone to reverberation.
No Tracks. No Costly Installations. No Worries!
Both fixed walls and roof-mounted partitions come at an extremely high price point and can take weeks, if not months to install.
Our wall-mounted operable walls, on the other hand, are set on smooth-rolling castors and simply need to be attached to the wall at one end, with no need for roof or floor tracks, no structural beams, no permits, and no builders. This makes them a quick, easy, and cost-effective solution for Queensland-based businesses on a budget. In fact, you can install your operable walls yourself in as little as an hour.
Operable partition walls are a fantastic option for rented spaces in Brisbane as they require no structural alterations and can easily be disconnected from the wall when it’s time to move.
HVAC-Safe Partitions
Featuring a 5cm gap at the top and bottom, operable partition walls offer outstanding coverage without affecting HVAC flow through your space. This means you can enjoy the benefits of an operable wall system that allows air, heating, and cooling to flow freely, without requiring council or building permits prior to installation.
Loved by Staff and Facility Managers Throughout Queensland
Our customers come from every industry and locality in Queensland, and many of them use our operable wall systems on a daily basis. From Brisbane’s government sector through to education and hospitality, operable wall panels are being used to set up dedicated work spaces, private offices, temporary meeting rooms, and even exhibition areas in preparation for public events.
Compared to the rigid, slow, and cumbersome design of rail-mounted partitions, operable walls are lightweight, highly portable, and easy to store when not in use, making them one of the most cost-effective, user-friendly, and versatile solutions on the Brisbane market today.
Unbeatable Versatility
Throughout Queensland and even in Brisbane’s bustling CBD, our sliding and folding operable wall systems are serving a variety of purposes.
- Improve acoustics and control sound and echoing in large spaces
- Divide up classrooms for schools and universities
- Set up temporary meeting and conference rooms in Brisbane offices
- Create private dining areas and function rooms in restaurants and pubs
- Customise large gyms and halls for public events and conventions
- Organise space in retail and industrial warehouses

Installation Requirements
Surface
Operable walls can be rolled out across a range of different surfaces, including hardwood floors, tiles, and carpet. Please note that the partitions must be used on a single material at a time, as transitioning from carpet to hard surfaces can impact stability and cause damage to the sliding or folding mechanism over time.
Please ensure that the rolling surface is flat, even, and only made from one material.
Wall Mounting
Due to their height, operable wall panels must be mounted to the wall at one end to prevent lateral movement. No weight-bearing is required, so there’s no need to make permanent or structural alterations to your building.
Acoustic Performance
Panel Sound Rating
Our operable wall panels have an NRC value of approximately 0.5. This value indicates how much sound the acoustic panels will absorb when sound waves hit it, though it does not indicate the perceived noise reduction, as this will vary on a case-by-case basis.
Acoustic Seals
These partitions possess no acoustic seals.
Closure Systems
Option of sliding operable walls (telescoping) or folding operable walls (accordion).
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
With 7 colour finishes available, you can customise your operable walls with any combination of these colours.
If you wish to further customise your operable wall panels with polycarbonate windows, a door, or if you’re looking for longer or taller partitions, please get in touch with our friendly customer service team.
