Product Description
The MG100 is ModernGlide's flagship top-hung movable acoustic wall system. Individual panels slide along an overhead extruded aluminium track and seal together to create a solid, independently certified acoustic barrier. Panels suspend from the overhead track with no floor rail required, creating a completely clean floor-level finish and allowing uninterrupted movement across the floor plate when panels are stored in the dedicated parking bay.
The MG100 achieves independently certified acoustic ratings from Rw 48 dB up to Rw 59 dB. Performance is achieved through panel mass, multi-layer construction and automatic perimeter sealing systems — all independently tested to ISO 140-3 and rated in accordance with ISO 717-1. The system is installed by ModernGlide's FIS-accredited team with full project management from survey through to commissioning and handover.

Typical Applications
Specifier Guidance
Recommended Acoustic Performance
- General meeting rooms: Rw 48–52 dB
- Boardrooms and conference rooms: Rw 52–56 dB
- Lecture theatres: Rw 54–56 dB
- Critical acoustic environments: Rw 56–59 dB
- All ratings to ISO 140-3 / ISO 717-1
Key Specification Considerations
- Structural capacity of the overhead slab or beam
- Coordination with ceiling contractor for track recess
- Parking bay location and floor plate impact
- Panel finish selection relative to usage frequency
- Sealing system: manual vs automatic
- Pass door requirement and fire rating if applicable
