Movable walls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If it is necessary to divide a space in two or more parts, this is done by movable walls. These consist of panels that are sometimes hung from overhead rails.
The panels reduce transmission of sound. This is essential for preventing noise passing to nearby spaces. Together with active earmuffs, panels help keep the workplace or home noise from interfering with the kind of activities which require thought and attention.
Applications include hotel function rooms, schools, conference centres, religious and sports facilities, business companies and private homes.
In private homes they can help with some tricky problems, such as a family outgrowing the home, but not able to move to larger premises.
