Folding Operable Walls Melbourne
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 5.6m.
Easily one of our most popular operable wall systems in Melbourne, our folding partitions feature articulating hinges that allow you to set your walls up in any configuration. This means you can create temporary rooms to your exact specifications, or divide a large room with a straight wall.
If you ever need to open up your space, the operable wall panels are designed to neatly fold up for discrete storage against the wall. The versatility of these operable walls allow you to ‘future-proof’ your Melbourne-based business so that you can be confident your space will always suit your needs without ever having to pay for an expensive redesign or permanent alterations.
Sliding Operable Walls Melbourne
Maximum height of 3.75m and maximum length of 4.6m.
Designed to open in a straight line, our sliding operable walls feature a clever telescoping function that smoothly glides out to cover the space.
Perfect for areas that simply need to be divided in two, the first panel is attached to the wall with the same pivoting connection as our folding operable walls, offering a little more flexibility to choose the direction of opening.
The slightly overlapping panels means that sliding operable walls aren’t quite as long as the folding version.

How Victorian Businesses Benefit From Operable Walls
Customising Melbourne Spaces
Whether you’re based in regional Victoria or in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, space is a premium for businesses of every locality and industry.
Our operable walls give you the power to make the most of your space by allowing you to set up temporary dividers in any room and to any configuration without ever having to commit to a single layout.
The highly portable design means that virtually anyone can roll their operable partition walls into position, and then fold them back down again when no longer needed. For other freestanding units or modular office cubicles as well as operable walls check out our Office Partitions Melbourne range
Outstanding Acoustic Performance
Noise is one of the biggest challenges that Victorian businesses have to face, and being able to find a noisecontrolling solution that won’t break the bank will not only improve employee satisfaction, it can even enhance productivity in the workplace.
The demountable design of our operable wall panels allows them to be built taller than our freestanding partitions for greater noise-control and a near complete visual barrier. The panels also come covered in a sound-dampening fabric which minimises noise and echoing in large spaces that are prone to reverberation.
Track-Free. Permit-Free. Hassle-Free!
If you’re working out of a rented space in Melbourne, installing a track-mounted partition may not be a practical solution. Requiring support beams, runners, and permanent alterations to your building, the costs and months can quickly add up when installing this style of partition.
On the other hand, mounted operable walls stand on sturdy castors and only need to be attached to a single wall for stability purposes. So easy to install you can do it yourself in as little as an hour without much experience or tool-use, there’ll be no need for time-consuming and costly installations by a professional builder.
The best part is, if you need to move your operable walls, they can simply be disconnected and moved to another location, saving you on future purchases and building fitouts.
A HVAC-Friendly Partitioning Solution
As our operable walls come mounted on rolling castors, they come with a gap of at least 5cm at the top and bottom. This means that they still offer outstanding acoustic performance and serve as a near-complete visual barrier without affecting air, heating, or air conditioning, or requiring council or building permits prior to installation.
This means you can enjoy the freedom of a more flexible operable wall system that won’t compromise your HVAC flow.

Installation Requirements
Surface
For your safety and to prevent damage to the partition, please ensure that your operable partition walls are being operated on a flat and even surface.
While operable walls work fabulously on carpet and hard surfaces alike, the transition between surfaces can impact stability and damage the sliding or folding mechanism over time. Therefore, they must be used on a floor made up of only a single material.
Wall Mounting
The wall connection is for stability purposes to prevent lateral movement, and requires no load-bearing properties. That means our operable walls can be easily mounted to your wall using the connections provided without the need for structural alterations to your building.
Acoustic Performance
Panel Sound Rating
The sound absorbing properties of an acoustic surface is indicated by an NRC value. The NRC value of our operable wall panels is approximately 0.5, though it’s important to note that this value does not indicate the perceived noise reduction in the room, as this will vary from space to space.
Acoustic Seals
Our operable partition walls possess no acoustic seals.
Closure Systems
Our operable walls come in both a sliding (telescoping) and folding (accordion) variant.
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
We offer 7 colour finishes that you can mix and match to customise the style of your partitions.
If you’re looking for greater customisation options such as polycarbonate windows, a door, or taller or longer partitions, please contact the team at Portable Partitions Australia to discuss your requirements.
