Best ways to care for your movable wall
Don’t let your new movable wall system wear away or lose its sheen – you can best look after it by following these simple yet effective steps:
-
Opt for a professional maintenance plan
First and foremost, we highly recommend using a professional servicing and maintenance service. A qualified engineer will visit your premises to inspect your movable wall and check that it’s working correctly. Investing in maintenance packages also helps you comply with all relevant legislation, saving you potential legal headaches down the line. One-off services, three-year and five-year agreements are available, so you’ll find an arrangement that works for you and your business.
-
General routine cleaning
Given that movable partitions are handled frequently, they may be prone to grime and dirt build-ups or fingerprint marks over time. But with general cleaning every now and then, you can assure your wall system will stay looking and feeling pristine. All you need to do is wipe down the panels with a damp cloth to return them to restore their fresh appearance.
For more ingrained stains that aren’t budging, we recommend contacting your movable wall system servicing company for cleaning guidance.
-
Check the tracks
The top-hung tracks that hold your movable wall panels and allow them to slide to and fro don’t tend to trap objects and debris, which is one of their benefits. However, over time, dust and dirt may begin to accumilate between the intricacies of the track.
While it may not sound too problematic, these elements can eventually cause problems such as blockages and resistance, potentially damaging the mechanism and leading to costly repairs that could’ve been avoided.
To remove any dust or dirt, simply give the tracks a quick wipe down with a cloth every few weeks. Additionally, we also recommend lightly lubricating the tracks afterwards with a lubricant approved by the movable wall manufacturer to reduce friction and allow to panels to seamlessly glide.
-
Panel care
Your movable wall panels help to boost the aesthetic of your office, so it’s in your best interest to prevent dents and other damages.
To avoid breaking the panels, ensure that they’re operated correctly and that no excess force is applied that can damage the mechanisms. What’s more, keep the panels stacked away neatly when not in use to prevent accidental bumps from people walking by. This will also reduce the amount of dirt collecting on each panel surface, helping to keep your movable wall as pristine as possible.
