Operable Partitions Maximize Space Utilization and Increase Revenue

Modernfold’s operable partitions can transform your interior space requirements to meet current and future demands, and could increase revenue potential by allowing your room size to be tailored to each event. This flexibility means that a large meeting room can be transformed into several small rooms with minimal set-up time, thus maximizing space utilization.

The Operable partitions provide sound control through a wide range of acoustic ratings without fixed wall constraints and allow for more efficient use of floor space. Two or Modernfold’s operable partitions are the Acoustii – Seal 911, which is used in multipurpose rooms, exhibition halls, and commercial buildings, and the Ultra – Seal, which utilizes Modernfold’s sound isolation technology.
