When strength and durability are important, but less stringent sound control is required, standard Modernfold accordion partitions are the answer. Modernfold partitions feature the same three-dimensional welded steel frame, heavy-duty track system, and extra-strength hinges as Soundmaster. So panels can be extended again and again with a minimum of effort.
And for added flexibility, concealed fabric fasteners make repair or color changes especially simple and economical.
Modernfold series partitions can be acoustically enhanced for sound absorption with the Quiet-Wall (carpet) option. This option offers high aesthetic appeal in a strong, yet easy to care for finish. Quiet-Wall offers an acoustically absorbent, vertically ribbed non-woven carpet in a variety of attractive colors. Quiet-Wall can achieve NRC ratings of up to .85.
Vinyl-clad steel, vinyl-clad wood, woven fabrics, carpet and vinyl fabrics comprise the largest selection of standard finishes in the industry. Every finish offered by Modernfold carries a Class "A" flame spread rating.
