Interior doors are typically used as room dividers to create separate spaces. In a commercial setting, an operable wall may be used to divide a conference room. When the panels are closed, the transfer of sound is greatly reduced between the two rooms. If additional space is needed, the wall can be opened to accommodate guests, tables, seating, or storage.
Operable walls can be placed in succession to create a showroom with unobstructed views like those created by traditional plaster walls.
Sliding, stacking, or folding walls can join together at a 90 degree corner which requires no post. These no post corner systems are ideal for areas that sometimes require a temporary division of space within a preexisting room. Common applications include ecclesiastical nurseries, wine storage cellars, and conference rooms for additional privacy. These rooms can feature acid etched glass. Single swing door panels can be included in the design for easy access.
Interior walls and doors can be used to create air lock entry ways. After proceeding through the main entrance, visitors will pass through a second set of French doors that can be glazed into an operable wall or curtain wall. This second glazed partition acts as an air lock and keeps the interior temperature stable.
