📐 Where does the wall go when it’s open?

It’s one of the most important considerations with any movable wall — and something that can easily be overlooked.

When an acoustic movable wall is opened, the panels need somewhere to stack.

Depending on the room, available space and how the area will be used, the panels can be configured to stack in different positions.

A well-planned stacking arrangement can:

✅ Keep valuable floor space clear
✅ Reduce obstruction when the wall is open
✅ Allow panels to be positioned neatly away from the main room
✅ Make day-to-day operation easier for the end user
✅ Help maximise the flexibility of the space

Sometimes the best solution is a simple end stack.

Other projects require panels to travel away from the opening into a dedicated stacking area or alcove.

The wall divides the space when you need it — and disappears neatly when you don’t.

That’s what flexible space should be about.

CASE STUDY | Village Hall, Hartlepool

It’s always rewarding to see a project develop from an initial enquiry right through to successful completion.

AM WALLS LTD was approached regarding an acoustic movable wall for a village hall in Hartlepool. The project went out to competitive tender, with enquiries sent to four different specialist companies, and we were delighted to be selected to supply and install the new system.

The Challenge

After reviewing the area and the existing building structure, it became clear that there was no suitable overhead structural support for a traditional top-hung movable wall.

Rather than introducing unnecessary structural steelwork, we proposed our ASF100 floor-supported sliding folding system.

The Solution

The ASF100 was an ideal solution for the hall, providing the flexibility to divide the space when required while allowing the system to be opened and stacked away when a larger area is needed.

The system also incorporated a communication/pass door, allowing users to move between the divided spaces without opening the complete wall. For additional peace of mind, the door includes a security lock as standard.

The panels were finished in a H1334 Oak finish, creating a warm, natural appearance that works extremely well within the village hall environment.

Installation & Handover

Our engineers completed the installation ahead of programme, followed by a full test and commissioning process.

Before leaving site, we also provided the client with a complete demonstration and operational training, ensuring the team understood how to safely open, close and operate their new ASF100 system.

And our involvement doesn’t end at installation.

A service and maintenance contract has also been agreed, helping to keep the system operating correctly and giving the village hall continued peace of mind for the future.

From an initial enquiry and competitive tender to installation, training and ongoing aftercare — another complete AM WALLS project delivered.

5 things to check BEFORE ordering an acoustic movable wall 👇

An acoustic movable wall can completely transform how a space is used — but getting the specification right starts long before the panels arrive on site.

Here are 5 things we always recommend considering:

1️⃣ Structural support
What is the system being suspended from? The correct steelwork/support above the track is essential for a safe and reliable installation.

2️⃣ The ceiling void
Sound doesn’t stop at the ceiling. If the void above the wall isn’t correctly treated, sound can travel straight over the top — potentially compromising the acoustic performance of the room.

3️⃣ What acoustic rating do you actually need?
Higher isn’t always automatically better. The required dB rating should be appropriate for how the rooms will be used.

4️⃣ Where will the panels stack?
When the wall is open, where do you want the panels to go? Correctly planning the stacking area can maximise the usable opening and keep panels neatly out of the way.

5️⃣ Check the floor level
An uneven floor can affect the operation and sealing of a movable wall. Understanding the finished floor level before installation is an important part of getting the system right.

There’s a lot more to an acoustic movable wall than choosing a finish and a dB rating.

Getting these details right at the beginning can make a huge difference to the finished installation.

A Look Back at One of Our A100 Installations 👏🏻

Last year, we completed this project for a private school in North London, supplying and installing our A100 twin-point acoustic movable wall system, achieving an impressive 50dB acoustic rating.

The system features two stacking areas, one at each end, allowing the panels to stack neatly away and maximising the clear opening when the wall is not in use.

The installation was completed in two phases. During Phase 1, our engineers installed the overhead track, allowing the main contractor to close up and complete the ceilings.

We then returned for Phase 2 to install the panels, jamb post and slam post, followed by full testing and commissioning of the system.

Finished in W1000 board with white powder-coated profiles, the completed A100 gives the school the flexibility to divide the space when required while providing 50dB acoustic performance.

Following completion, the client received their inspection sheet, completion certificate, warranty and operating manuals, along with full training on how to operate the wall correctly.

Another great example of how an acoustic movable wall can provide flexibility without compromising acoustic performance. 👌🏻

“We want everything straight and perfectly in line…”

I think our engineer may have taken me a little too literally!

Laser level out just to make sure the commissioning stickers are perfectly aligned.

All joking aside, attention to detail matters to us at AM WALLS LTD — apparently right down to the stickers!

Great work from the engineers as always. 👏

🔊 WHAT DOES THE dB RATING OF A MOVABLE WALL ACTUALLY MEAN?

When choosing an acoustic movable wall, one of the most important figures you’ll see is its dB rating — but what does it actually mean?

Simply put, the higher the acoustic performance of the system, the greater its ability to reduce sound passing from one space to another.

But there’s an important point 👇

A high-performing acoustic wall is only as good as the environment it’s installed into.

Sound can travel around the partition through:

• Ceiling voids
• Raised floors
• Poorly insulated bulkheads
• Doors and adjoining walls
• Gaps around the track or jambs
• Building services and penetrations

That’s why at AM WALLS LTD, we don’t just look at the movable wall.

We look at the complete acoustic environment.

From the supporting structure and track installation through to acoustic barriers, perimeter sealing and final commissioning, every detail can affect the finished performance.

Our movable wall systems are available with acoustic ratings up to 58dB, depending on the system and specification.

And where applicable, our acoustic performance is independently validated through the FIS Acoustic Verification Scheme (AVS).

Good acoustics aren’t just about choosing a number on a specification.

They’re about designing and installing the complete system correctly.

🔊 WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES AN ACOUSTIC MOVABLE WALL WORK?

A movable wall isn’t just about dividing a room — when specified and installed correctly, it can help create two genuinely usable spaces with effective acoustic separation.

But achieving good acoustic performance isn’t simply about choosing a wall with a high dB rating.

The complete installation matters.

✅ Correct acoustic specification
The system needs to be selected around the level of sound reduction actually required for the space.

✅ Structural support
The supporting structure must be designed to safely accommodate the system and allow the track to remain correctly aligned.

✅ Acoustic seals
Top, bottom and vertical seals all play an important role in reducing sound transfer around the panels.

✅ The ceiling void
One of the areas that can easily be overlooked. Sound can travel above the movable wall if the acoustic barrier within the ceiling void hasn’t been properly considered.

✅ Installation & commissioning
Even a high-performance system will only perform as intended when it is correctly installed, levelled, sealed, tested and commissioned.

At AM WALLS LTD, we don’t just supply movable walls — we look at the complete system, from the supporting structure and acoustic requirements through to installation, commissioning and ongoing servicing.

Because acoustic performance is only as good as the complete installation.

Another successful installation completed in Scotland!

Our team designed, supplied and installed an ASF100 floor supported sliding folding partition for a school in Motherwell, Scotland.

The school selected our floor supported system because the existing building didn’t have sufficient structural support for a top-hung partition. Our ASF100 system provided the ideal solution without the need for costly structural alterations.

Another key benefit was that the ASF100 comes with a communication door as standard, helping the client meet their budget while still providing easy access between the two spaces when the partition is closed.

Our floor supported sliding folding partitions create flexible learning environments, allowing large spaces to be divided quickly and efficiently while delivering excellent acoustic performance.

When budgets change, the right solution isn’t always a brand-new system.

Recently, a client was relocating their offices to a new premises just across the road. Their original plan was to install a brand-new acoustic movable wall, but due to budget constraints, they needed an alternative solution.

Instead of replacing the system, we helped them maximise the value of their existing investment.

Our team:
✔️ Carefully uninstalled the existing movable wall from their previous offices.
✔️ Transported the complete system to the new premises.
✔️ Installed a new aluminium track and trolley system.
✔️ Worked alongside the main contractor while new bulkheads and nib walls were formed to accommodate the revised opening dimensions.
✔️ Refreshed the appearance by professionally re-wrapping every panel in the client’s new company branding and colours.

The project was completed with full test and commissioning, a comprehensive health and safety inspection, and a 12-month service certification, ensuring the system was operating exactly as it should.

The result? A modern-looking acoustic movable wall at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire system.

At AM WALLS Ltd, we don’t just install new systems—we help clients get the very best from the assets they already have wherever possible.

Another successful project completed. Thank you to everyone involved.
