When it comes to modern environments, flexibility is everything. Acoustic movable walls enable you to achieve both a large open area for collaboration and smaller, quieter rooms for focused work or events. They also allow you to control sound across your premises.
In this blog, we’ll break down what an acoustic movable wall is, how it works, and the reasons it could be a game-changer for your space.
What’s an acoustic movable wall?
Movable walls are adjustable walls that consist of a series of adaptable panels used to divide or open up large spaces. You often find these structures in offices, schools, hotels and exhibition halls, among other places where flexible room layouts are desirable.
These functional systems are top-hung from a reinforced ceiling track, and each panel moves independently, enabling flexible wall arrangements.
What makes it “acoustic”?
Acoustic movable walls offer an impressive acoustic performance, meaning they can block, absorb or reduce sound transmission between two spaces when the wall is in place.
So, how does an acoustic movable wall work?
These installations feature sound-insulating panels and an acoustic sealing system, made up of gaskets and pressure seals, which lock the panels together and create a noise barrier between the two areas.
How is acoustic performance measured?
A wall’s acoustic performance is determined by how much sound, in decibels (dB), the wall prevents from passing through. The higher the dB rating, the better the acoustic insulation – for example, a 38dB model will reduce sound transfer between areas by 38dB, and a 59dB rated wall will reduce it by 59dB.
Why might you need an acoustic movable wall?
- Improved sound isolation – Movable walls that reduce sound transfer are highly beneficial in environments that require flexible arrangements without sacrificing sound privacy. Noise from communal areas is dulled, keeping private spaces like meeting rooms quieter. Confidential conversations within private spaces behind the walls are also protected from being heard externally.
- Space flexibility – Acoustic partitions that aren’t fixed and can be altered to meet the needs of the day are attractive installations. Movable walls provide the freedom to rearrange room layouts, create smaller spaces or create one vast area, which is especially useful in schools.
- Aesthetics – Adjustable wall partitions come in many premium finishes, perfect for enhancing your interior look and vibe. Select between clean white or grey glossy panels, or keep it natural with sleek oak, beech and maple.
