Wall Mounted Operable Walls Configurations

Folding design
Units up to 3.75m high - 5.6m long
Our folding walls are the most flexible of them both, allowing you to open and configure your Operable Wall in any shape or form.
With each panel moving independently, this futureproof design works best if multiple configurations may be needed overtime. It also is more efficient in terms of cost per wall length.
Sliding design
Units up to 3.75m high - 4.6m long
Our sliding or telescoping Operable Wall design only opens in a straight line, but the whole wall can still pivot from the mounting point for added flexibility.
The simplicity of these operable walls comes at the cost of less wall length per dollar spent when compared to a folding design due to the slight overlap between panels.

Benefits of Wall Mounted Operable Walls
Flexible Environments
Need to improve acoustics or divide a large space in two? Our hand-built operable walls offer you an affordable and unique alternative to divide open spaces while keeping them modern and aesthetic. If you need to open the space up again simply stack panels together to close the wall.
Our operable walls are completely customisable and designed in a range of dimensions and fabric finishes that suit the functional criteria of any project and business while doing a brilliant job at dividing your large, open area.
No Tracks, No Hassle
Wall mounted on one side and supported on their own caster wheels, we manufacture our gravity based Operable Walls to roll smoothly with no ceiling or floor track required, making daily operation simple and easy.
By working without ceiling or floor tracks, our range eliminates the need for especially built structural beams, complex engineering work, landlord permits and builders on site, speeding up the installation process from months to minutes
HVAC Friendly Product
Our operable partition walls provide more coverage than other types of partitions but leave a 5 cm gap at the top and the bottom to not affect HVAC flow, therefore eliminating the need to get building code or council permits for installations.
With air flowing freely even with the wall closed, you can change the size of any space in a matter of seconds
Best bang for your buck
Track based Operable Walls with acoustic seals are incredible products that provide good sound ratings and visual privacy, but at a price tag and timeline you may not be able to work with.
Our products are designed for people who need to visually separate two areas effectively and can compromise on some of the acoustic performance, but don't have the budget for a track based system or can't wait several months to install a solution.
From as little as $680 a metre, our acoustic panels will provide moderate sound reduction. Fast to install and easy to use on a daily basis our Operable Partition Walls will give you the best bang for your buck.
