Glass Folding Partition

Our imagination knows no limits, so why settle for outdated ways to maximize usable space? You don’t have to anymore with the NEW Mirage glass folding partition that folds up and stores in the ceiling. Whether you need an all glass folding partition or one with a combination of glass and hard surfaces, Mirage is a solution that is as easy as turning a key.

Skyfold Mirage provides a large variety of folding partition walls whether it is office glass partitions, modular partitions or wall partitions. Glass folding partition is stylish and aesthetic. Glass folding partition meets the need for privacy yet complements a feeling of space with visual continuity. The flexibility of the glass folding partition is suited to be adapted to your environment.

The glass folding partition shall be equipped with an optical sensor, which shall cut power to the lifting equipment if an object or person passes between the emitter(s) and receiver(s). Regular operation of the glass folding partition shall resume once the key switch has been released and the direction of the wall has been reversed and the obstruction removed.

Movable Glass Wall System

As a general rule no switches, alarms, thermostats, doorframes, etc. should be placed on the fixed walls or columns directly below the pocket. If it is absolutely necessary then that the movable glass wall system should be flush mounted and never located in the area on the fixed wall occupied by the wall in its closed or down position.

The moving glass wall system shall be opened and closed using a spring return, 3 position key switch. Turning the key from the “off” position shall cause the wall to move in the designated direction “up” or “down”. When hand pressure is removed, the movable glass wall system shall immediately stop. The movable glass wall system shall stop in a quick and positive fashion without coasting. As a normal part of the operation, it shall be possible to partially open (or close) the wall, stop it and then reverse the operation. There shall be 2 key switches per operable wall, on either side of the axis of the wall.

The load is static and requires less than a movable glass wall system because the load does not shift to one end of the building when stored and does not require pockets for storage in the wall.

Stacking Glass Walls

SkyFold Mirage stacking glass walls provide expansive, unobstructed views and give a clear view while keeping out noise. The stacking glass walls retract easily for wide-open views and can be stopped at any point while lifting or descending.

Our reputation in the industry for being one of the top manufacturers in stacking glass walls has been proven. Skyfold Mirage has the knowledge and expertise to provide you with nothing but the best quality products. Whether you require stacking glass walls for acoustical effectiveness, visual aesthetics and panel durability, Skyfold Mirage stacking glass walls are designed to last.

The stacking glass walls shall automatically and acoustically seal against the floor without the need for any manual intervention. The floor seals shall leave a joint between the floor and the bottom acoustical panels of not more than approximately 1 _” (45mm).

Adjust and fine-tune the stacking glass walls to ensure that all seals are operating and sealing properly and that the walls are in correct and smooth operation

Glass Wall Systems

Skyfold Mirage are innovative automatic acoustic operable glass wall systems under specification section 10650 that will revolutionize the way we design, and work with, space.

The glass wall systems shall employ an electromagnetic type of brake that shall activate firmly, without hesitation, when power is lost to the system. This brake shall have a minimum retarding torque rating equal to 200% of the power drive full load torque. A manual break release lever is supplied on the motor. The glass wall systems shall employ a dynamic brake, distinct and separate from the brake above, in order to lower the wall at a controlled speed of no more than approximately 150% of the normal down speed, in the case of a catastrophic failure in the power train. Alternately, the glass wall systems shall employ a brake, distinct and separate from the brakes above, in order to completely halt the downward motion of the wall in the case of a catastrophic failure in the power train.

Installing Skyfold Mirage glass wall systems puts you in command. Create a prosperous office environment with these beautiful wall systems. Our glass walls systems option makes excellent use of space and natural light. Inside offices can now be part of an open environment. The glass wall systems reflect the outside light in.

Before commencing with the installation of Skyfold Mirage glass walls systems, please submit the manufacturer’s technical data for each type of glass wall systems specified herein.

Do also submit shop drawings showing complete layout of glass wall systems based on field verified dimensions. The drawings shall include dimensional relationship to adjoining work. Include details indicating materials, finishes, and tolerances, methods of attachment to building steel and electrical requirements. Please also submit certified test reports evidencing compliance to acoustical STC requirements as specified.

Acoustical Rating

Skyfold is an acoustical wall that is hard, rigid and flat in its down
position. When not in use, however, it folds vertically for storage in
the ceiling. Developed as a modular system, it consists of a grid of
rectangular acoustical panels.

A completely functioning operable wall, tested in full accordance and
compliance with ASTM E90-90 shall achieve a Laboratory Sound
Transmission Class acoustical rating of not less than 51. The acoustical
panels, when tested in accordance with the ASTM E90-90 protocol, shall
achieve a Laboratory Sound Transmission Class STC rating of not less
than 54.

Each acoustical rating panel shall be individually removable using only
a screw driver. No special tools or equipment shall be required. The removal of a single acoustic panel shall not affect, dislocate or cause the
removal of any adjacent panels or other acoustical rating panels. The operable wall shall be mechanically operable with a few of the acoustic rating panels removed from one, or both sides of the operable wall.

Gym Dividers

The gym dividers are opened and closed using a spring return, 3
position key switch. Turning the key from the “off” position will
cause the wall to move in the designated direction “up” or “down”.
When hand pressure is removed, the wall immediately stops. The
operable wall stops in a quick and positive fashion without
coasting. As a normal part of the operation, it is possible to
partially open (or close) the wall, stop it and then reverse the
operation. There are 2 key switches per operable wall, on either
side of the axis of the wall.

From a fully open position, gym dividers are able to go through their
entire cycle of closing and/or opening without any manual intervention.
When the gym divider is being lowered (closed) it shall come automatically to rest once it has reached the fully down (closed) position. Opposedly, When the gym divider is being lifted (opened) it shall come automatically to rest once it has reached the fully up (open) position.

The gym dividers shall open and close at a constant nominal speed of
approximately 5 to 10 vertical feet per minute (1.5. to 3 metres per
minute).

Modular Wall Systems

With the recent trend towards corporate downsizing or moving to new buildings, modular wall systems allow commercial and corporate establishments to produce permanent offices, conference rooms and workspaces in no time flat.

Custom manufactured, E-Z Fold modular wall systems are completely automatic, rigid, flat, and retractable. A simple turn of a key switch and E-Z FOLD modular wall systems retract quietly into the ceiling (travel is 5’ to 10’ per minute). E-Z FOLD modular wall systems have eliminated the need for manual labour to assemble and disassemble walls as well as wall packet storage space.

Our engineers custom design all modular wall systems for your specific facility requirements. We don’t use stock assemblies. We build every backstop so that the side braces join the main stem at exactly 54″ above the goal. This ensures maximum structural integrity of the tetrahedral design.

Make sure you take into account all the related work that must be done by others in order to assure a safe and appropriate installation of the modular wall systems. These including making sure that Masonry/Concrete aspects are covered; Bulkheads and sound insulation above, below and in the fixed walls at both ends of the modular wall systems; the primary structural support, including steel beam for the wall as well as the miscellaneous support steel for the lifting machinery for the modular wall systems; ceiling storage pockets along axis of the modular wall systems; painting of trim, gypsum drywall and other adjacent materials; and all site wiring and connections for main power, including installation of key switches.

Folding Room Dividers

Please consult one of our experts for the installation of our folding room dividers. The look of the folding room dividers is visually appealing and can cater to any style preferences and decorating taste.

Conventional folding room dividers can easily weigh 10 to 12 lbs per square foot. E-Z FOLD folding room dividers only weighs6 to 7 lbs per square foot! Panels are never manhandled; therefore in terms of wear and tear E-Z FOLD will outlast the competing wall system. Panels on E-Z Fold can be solid, glass, or open, in a variety of configurations and combinations. For example, the bottom 6 feet can be a solid, opaque panel and the upper areas can be open mesh

For ceiling heights under 26′, the folding room dividers made by E-Z Fold have an all-welded “T” frame assembly. All connections are precision “saddle” cut to provide full surface contact and unmatched quality. A bolted frame assembly is used for ceiling heights over 26′ because of the large frame sizes required. Inner webbing braces are incorporated for high strength. We can design EZ Fold backstops to fit almost any condition encountered in new or retrofit work. Roofs and ceilings of concrete, wood, steel truss, steel beams and space frames are compatible with the backstops of the folding room dividers.
