Multifold Partitions

Multifold PartitionsThe Multifold is ideal for medium acoustics and when there is a need for the weight to be on the floor when the support structure is not load bearing. The system consists of continuously hinged panels that are locked into place every second panel. The last panel always operates as a communicating door. The system can either be a single or Bi-parting.


Application

The Multifold room dividers from specialists Building Additions offers a solution to the problem that exists because the support structure is inaccessible or non existent. The product is able to achieve a far better sound performance than the fabric in these circumstances because of the acoustic seal at the floor and ceiling.

The Multifold offers an easy operation and quality appearance that is suitable to almost any environment from classrooms to boardrooms.

Specification

The panels are constructed with a solid particle board on an aluminium peripheral frame. The panels are then filled with mineral wool and other sound obstructing sheets.

The panels give an acoustic level of 38dB - 45dB. The normal panel thickness is 68mm. The seals are a hard wearing rubber at the top and bottom.

The Multifold can be either Centrefolding (the centre of the panels are fixed to the track) or End-Folding (The end of the panels are fixed to the track). If the panels are End-Folding then the option of being floor supported requires a suitable structure for support.

The maximum panel width is 850mm (Centrefolding) or 700mm (End-folding), the maximum height is 4000mm.

The leading panel acts as an access door. Locks are an optional extra.

Colours and finishes

A full range of colours in vinyl, melamines, veneers and laminates are available as standard. The  panels can also be spray painted to any BS or RAL colour. Individual specifications can be met to fulfil and requirement.

One important note is that these room dividers are made to a high degree of sound insulation and it is important that the structural surrounds match the panel specification to avoid sound loss.
