Folding Glass Walls - Wood Frame - NW Acoustical 545
- Up to Unit STC 41 Possible
- Heights Up To 9′ 10″ (3000 mm)
- ADA Compliant Flush Sill for School Design
Unprecedented Sound Control NW Acoustical 545-Up to Unit STC 41 Possible NW Acoustical 545 is the first floor supported, wood framed folding glass wall able to achieve sound control up to an impressive unit STC 41.
This system combines solid, single species wood framing and specialized gasketing with sound-enhanced glass to achieve optimal performance with the range of unit STC from STC 31 up to STC 41-all while allowing maximal transparency and natural daylight to flood interior spaces.
Minimal Sightline Equals Increased Transparency With an extremely thin wood frame profile, NW Acoustical 545 is specifically engineered for workplace applications and for interior spaces where acoustical privacy and ease of use are of utmost concern.
ADA Compliant Flush Sill for Workplace Design The Flush sill option is ADA compliant with an aluminum floor track insert that provides high heel protection. This sill can be installed directly over finished flooring to create clean transitions between interior spaces.
Fourth Generation Features Left/Right FourFold and SixFold Panel Sets for Larger Openings and Flexible Stacking This Generation 4 wood framed interior folding system allows for larger opening sizes and flexible space management with the integration of FourFold or SixFold panel sets. These panels are able to move and stack to the right, left, or center within the same track allowing the panels to be stacked in the most convenient location. The system may be either inswing or outswing, and open corner are possible.
Floor Supported Technology for Long-Term Durability Floor supported systems are ideal for applications where load-bearing capability of the header is a concern.
- Provides long-term durability and smooth operation.
- Control construction costs. Requires less header load and limits the need for extensive pre-cambering.
- Improves the likelihood of keeping existing header when retrofitting/remodeling.
Swing Doors for Traffic Management To accommodate traffic flow, swing panels up to 3′ 3″ (1000 mm) can be added either to the end of a chain of panels for systems with an odd number of panels folding in one direction or hinged to the side jamb, depending on unit height and configuration.
Swing panels have been tested and passed over 500,000 cycles and can be optionally outfitted with higher kickplates for ADA compliance. Top door closers by others are possible.
