SUPERIOR DESIGN AT A COMPETITIVE PRICE

Sonicwal® rigid panel acoustical folding partitions surfaced with wood grain or textured vinyl finishes cost no more than vinyl fabric accordion partitions, yet they deliver so much more. Clean, straight contemporary lines ... strong, durable laminated panels that outlast ordinary partitions ... a fabulous collection of affordable surface options including wood veneers, carved surface detailing, high pressure laminates and luxurious wall carpet ... and the highest acoustical ratings of any accordion partition made.

ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE

Sonicwal accordion partitions are offered with five laboratory certified sound transmission class ratings from STC 38 to STC 50. And an optional noise reduction coefficient of NRC .70 is available on one or both sides of STC 42 rated models. To create quiet spaces, Sonicwal partitions employ exclusive patented hinging systems that acoustically decouple the panels on one face of the partition from those on the other face. This makes possible the structural, durability and appearance advantages of rigid laminated panels while achieving high sound isolation.

Scale/12® and Scale/8® ... the single panel-wall partitions that stand up to tough commercial and institutional use exemplify the recognition of Panelfold as the leading manufacturer of quality wood folding partitioning.

PROVEN DESIGN AT AN ECONOMICAL PRICE

Scale/12 and Scale/8 partitions offer many of the appearance and reliability advantages of Sonicwal® twin panel-wall models: extra-thick high density particleboard panels machine laminated with a wide selection of surface detailing.

SONICWAL®, SCALE/12® and SCALE/8® QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

Panels are joined and edge sealed with Panelfold's unique dual-walled, lifetime Memory-Action® vinyl hinges that acoustically dampen the panels and protect their edges from marring scrapes and blows. Top and bottom Sonicsweep seals, Ceilinguard head trim and deep nesting end posts with dual row vertical sound seals and positive latches all add to superior acoustical performance.

FUNCTIONAL ELEGANCE

The natural look of genuine wood or the attitude of color and texture are the possibilities Sonicwal, Scale/12 and Scale/8 models. Panels constructed of rugged high density particleboard are machine laminated with select wood veneers, high pressure decorative laminates and textured or wood grain vinyls. A soft statement with any of 73 contemporary contract interior colors can be achieved with Ribtex® wall carpeting or Woventex® or Tekwall® 1000® panel fabrics. Custom orders of Customer's Own Materials or wood stained finishes are also available for special situations. Memory-Action® vinyl hinges may be specified to harmonize or highlight the selected panel finish. End post trim and hardware in bronze or natural finish is standard.
