As a premium solution to space management, many hospitality establishments such as hotels, eateries and conference centres utilise movable walls to enhance their facilities and make them more appealing for hire. 

But what is it about movable walls that makes them so appealing to high-end hospitality premises? Find out all there is to know in our latest blog!

What’s a movable wall?

Also known as movable partitions, movable walls are luxury state-of-the-art room dividers that incorporate modern technology and design.

Consisting of a series of individual top-hung panels that smoothly move along a ceiling track, movable walls provide ultimate space flexibility, allowing you to reconfigure your room in line with the needs of the day.

These impressive systems can be arranged in several layouts, from fully-extended walls to bi-parted configurations, and more.

Why are movable walls used in the hospitality industry?

Movable walls are a popular feature across the hospitality sector for many reasons:

  • Event hosting

As movable walls can be arranged in a series of unique layouts, they allow hospitality businesses to offer flexible room configurations for hire.

Having the freedom to adapt a large room to accommodate different events or group sizes ensures that functional areas are frequently booked up, helping to boost profits.

For example, a hotel that features a movable wall or partition can create numerous versatile spaces for hire. The hotel may then be booked for business conferences, meetings, weddings, team-building days and parties – to name a few.

  • Sound insulation

Unlike curtains or traditional concertina partitions, movable walls boast exceptional levels of sound insulation.

Some models have expanding pressure seals that connect together when the wall is closed, enhancing the partition’s acoustic ratings – sometimes up to 59Db!

This prevents both external noise from infiltrating the private space, and internal sounds from escaping, leading to our next point.

  • Privacy

Thanks to their sound absorption properties and solid panels, you can create added privacy for certain guests without using another room, which an extra party can hire. 

As a result, guests, corporate employees and event hosts can hold events with the peace of mind that they won’t be disturbed by external presences.

Plus, if you need to subdivide the space to create smaller private areas, for example, a VIP section in a club or separate seating in a restaurant, you can with a movable wall. 

  • Enhanced interior decor

Companies, party planners, and brides and grooms-to-be will pay handsomely for an upscale venue to host their event, which is why you need a modish movable wall.

Movable walls can be considered a unique and appealing design feature in their own right thanks to the stunning array of styles, colours and finishes they come in.

Simply select an option that perfectly aligns with your venue’s theme and décor, further boosting its visual appeal and premium feel.

Attractive and sleek real-look wood finishes such as oak or beech are a popular choice due to their deluxe feel and timeless nature – but the decision is down to your preference!

Should I invest in a movable wall for my hospitality premises?

Movable walls make for a handy and bold addition to any eatery, hotel or holiday park, and their flexibility, functionality and stylishness are what sets them apart from basic partitions such as concertinas, curtains and fold-away dividers.

Of course, due to their high specification, you can expect them to be more expensive than other room dividers.

But given the excellent range of benefits they offer, such as enhanced privacy, you can be sure that they’re well worth the investment.
