Advances in technology have significantly improved the long term viability of installing a moveable partitioning system.
Whether it is a school, commercial building, leisure facility or hospital being developed, with land in the UK at a premium, all properties must be designed to maximise the use of available space. Moveable partitioning systems have been available for many years but it is only with relatively recent advances in design that they have offered a long term solution that delivers on all fronts - acoustic privacy, aesthetics, sustainability and usage.
Custom power lift partitions
Perhaps one of the most important advances has to be innovative Custom power lift Partitions. These totally unique folding partitions store in the ceiling cavity, automatically lowering to the floor at the touch of a button. Hundreds of power lift partitions have been built in the UK to date, delivering a solution that has many advantages over other systems. In addition to making it possible for one person to reconfigure a room in a matter of minutes using the simple turnkey operation, with careful installation power lift partitions can deliver superior acoustic performance, almost entirely eliminating the problem of flanking - where sound passes over the top, around or under the primary partition. Another obvious benefit of this type of system is that no valuable floor and wall space is required to store the partitioning panels when not in use, making the absolute best use of any room at all times.
Installed in a number of high profile commercial buildings in London, including the headquarters for Gensler, Moody's in Canary Wharf and Henderson Global Investors the benefits of power lift partitions are now being recognised by a wider audience. Underutilised spaces such as a large school hall can be quickly partitioned to dramatically increase usage as demonstrated by the successful installation of a 15m long power lift partition at a special needs school in Southwark. Similarly, the function area of the new Melton Borough Council office building benefits from two power lift partitions, allowing conferences, meetings and training events to be scheduled alongside each other.
Slopes and steps
Using power lift partitions is now easier to divide a room with a stepped or sloped floor such as a lecture hall or theatre. As it is lowered from the ceiling the bottom edges of partition panels can be custom designed to perfectly match the floor below making it a reality to hold a conference on one side of a stepped hall whilst a music rehearsal occurs on the other.
A perfect fit
A traditional horizontal, sliding partition is first manually moved into place before a hand crank is used to expand seals around the edges of each panel. The effectiveness of the system to provide a firm, temporary wall that offers good acoustics relies entirely divisória piso teto vidro on the individual operating the crank, leading to potential for human error due to lack of strength or care and attention.
Delivering an infinitely more effectively solution, semi-automatic partitioning systems ensure a solid fixing is created and maximum acoustic performance delivered every time. As each lightweight panel is manual moved effortlessly into place the automatic expansion of heavy duty rubber seals is initialised. Pressure-sensitive, the seals expand along all edges of the partition to exactly the required level, creating a strong dividing wall that offers an impressive acoustic barrier.
Listen carefully
To be truly effective any moveable partition has to provide a good acoustic barrier, allowing privacy to users on both sides of the wall. With the development of technologically advanced materials moveable partitions deliver better acoustic performance than ever before, whilst remaining light and easy to manoeuvre.
Some power lift partition panels for example are constructed from a revolutionary sealed composite material comprising of a light, sturdy outershell with special micro-perforated surface with an acoustic core that ensures exceptional sound absorption and insulation of up to 55dB Rw.
When specifying a partitioning system it is important to compare like with like, to ensure an appropriate level of privacy is achieved. The R'w performance of a partition refers to the 'in-situ' acoustic rating and takes into account flanking (where sound passes over the top, around or under the primary partition). This is different to a product's laboratory tested Rw rating, which is more relevant as a comparison tool but not necessarily an indicator of the final performance you can expect in a particular location.
Careful planning and installation following the advice of a qualified acoustician will help ensure the maximum performance of any system. This is particularly important when installing power lift partitions as it is essential that services running through the ceiling cavity do not interfere with the acoustic barrier. Capable of delivering an outstanding acoustic barrier of up to 56dB Rw, some power lift partition panels are constructed with a honeycomb cellulose core sandwiched between a covered steel plate on the outer face and a backer plate of sheet steel on the inner face. The inside surface of each panel also has a layer of 38mm fibreglass duct liner.
Sustainable sense
Ticking a number of environmental boxes, partitioning systems fundamentally reduce heating costs, requiring only the space needed for any specific activity to be heated.
Assuming a moveable partition is installed with consideration to heating elements it is perfectly feasible for one part of a room to be isolated from the heating schedule for any period that it is not going to be utilised, potentially cutting energy usage.
In addition, recognising the increase in environmental awareness, many partitioning systems are manufactured using recycled materials.
Finishing touches
Aesthetics are of course extremely important in any new build or retrofit project. Fortunately the range of standard finishes available for modern partitioning systems is considerable whilst bespoke designs are a reality in many instances. Almost any finish is possible including laminate, glass and polished wood veneers but we have been also been asked to incorporate additional sound absorption boards, magnetic display boards, dry wipe markers and even projection surfaces.
