Product Description
The MG200 is a floor-supported hinged folding partition system designed for projects where the ceiling structure cannot support a top-hung operable wall. Unlike top-hung systems such as the MG100, the MG200 transfers its primary load through the floor track — making it a practical solution for buildings with limited overhead structural capacity, including many older commercial buildings, community facilities and education buildings.
Panels are connected and fold concertina-style, allowing large openings to be created or closed rapidly by a single operator. The MG200 achieves acoustic ratings from Rw 42 dB up to Rw 49 dB, independently tested to ISO 140-3 and rated in accordance with ISO 717-1. An integrated acoustic pass door is included as standard in every MG200 system. The system is installed by ModernGlide's FIS-accredited team with full project management from survey through to commissioning and handover.

Acoustic Sealing Systems
Structural Loading Data
- Primary load transfers through the floor track
- Overhead guide rail provides lateral stability only
- Ceiling structure requirements significantly reduced vs top-hung
- Floor track must be continuous across the full opening width
- Structural survey carried out pre-installation
- Full loading calculations provided with each project specification
Typical Applications
Specifier Guidance
Recommended Acoustic Performance
- General meeting rooms: Rw 42–46 dB
- Training and community spaces: Rw 46–49 dB
- Education halls: Rw 46–49 dB
- All ratings to ISO 140-3 / ISO 717-1
- Consult technical team for project-specific targets
Key Specification Considerations
- Confirm ceiling structure cannot support a top-hung system
- Floor track continuity across the full opening width
- Panel finish durability relative to usage frequency
- Opening width — bi-parting vs single-stack layout
- Pass door position and acoustic rating
- Fire rating if required — confirm at design stage
- Engage at RIBA Stage 2 or 3 for floor track coordination
