Closure Systems


Walls need a method of acoustically opening & closing the system.


Door Panel Pivot Panel Expanding Panel
Suitable on normal height walls. The last panel is a full height door hinged off the fixed jamb or the prior panel. Doors are normally located at one end of the wall. Typical width is 500-900mm For centre stack systems only. The single end panel pivots shut and is held in place by 2 latch/handle assemblies. Usually located at the stacking end of the wall. This panel has an over-sleeve that can be expanded sideways to lock the wall in place. This is operated by a removable handle in the face of the panel. Usually located at the stacking end of the wall.
Door Panel Pivot Panel Expanding Panel
PROS: PROS: PROS:
Provides convenient access. Lowest cost closure option. Easy to operate. Neat stacking. Can be used as an occasional access door. Physically & acoustically locks the wall into place.
CONS: CONS: CONS:
For centre stacked walls, the door may protrude to the side of the stack a little. A jamb hung door is a little more cost efficient and convenient. Not useable for access.

The expander panel cannot be made of glass and will have to be a 'board construction' with a finish that best compliments the chosen glass finish on the other panels.
