Product Description
The MG100E is the most advanced movable wall system in the ModernGlide range. It is a fully motorised, top-hung operable wall where all panels operate at the touch of a button — no manual effort required to open, close or reconfigure the space.
The system achieves acoustic ratings up to Rw 54 dB through electrically-actuated sealing systems that engage automatically when panels reach the closed position. This ensures consistent acoustic performance every time the wall is used, without relying on the operator to correctly engage seals manually.
The MG100E can be integrated with building management systems (BMS) for centralised control and scheduling — allowing spaces to be pre-configured for meetings, events or different operational modes automatically. Compatible with Modbus, BACnet and KNX protocols. All installations are carried out by ModernGlide's FIS-accredited team with full project management from survey through to commissioning and handover.

MG100E Fully Electric Operable Wall
Laboratory tested to ISO 140-3 and rated in accordance with ISO 717-1. Electrically-actuated sealing systems engage automatically when panels reach the closed position, ensuring consistent acoustic performance every time — without relying on the operator to correctly engage seals.
| Specification | Rw Rating | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| MG100E Standard | Rw 46 dB | General conference and meeting room separation |
| MG100E Enhanced | Rw 50 dB | Boardrooms and premium conference suites |
| MG100E High Performance | Rw 54 dB | Maximum acoustic separation environments |
Specifier Guidance
Key Specification Considerations
- Confirm 240V single phase electrical supply route to each panel drive unit
- Coordinate BMS protocol (Modbus, BACnet or KNX) with M&E engineer early
- Allow for low voltage control wiring in ceiling void or partition structure
- Confirm ceiling structural capacity for overhead track and panel loads
- Specify manual override requirement and emergency access strategy
- Engage at RIBA Stage 2 or 3 for complex multi-zone control requirements
Installation and Programme
- Early engagement with M&E team required for electrical coordination
- Typical lead time: 6 to 10 weeks from survey and electrical sign-off
- Site survey required before fabrication — structural and electrical check included
- FIS-accredited installation team on all projects
- Commissioning, testing and handover documentation provided as standard
- Training provided for facilities management team on handover
Available Documentation
- NBS Chorus specification clauses
- CAD drawings (PDF and DWG)
- BIM objects (Revit compatible)
- Technical drawings
- Electrical specification and wiring diagrams
- BMS integration guide (Modbus, BACnet, KNX)
- Acoustic test certificates
- O&M manual
- Servicing and maintenance guide
Maintenance & Servicing
The MG100E requires periodic servicing to maintain optimal operational reliability, acoustic performance and safety system function. ModernGlide recommends an annual service visit covering inspection, lubrication, track cleaning, hardware adjustment, motor and control system checks, and acoustic seal inspection. Servicing contracts are available for all installed MG100E systems.
