Product Description

The MG900 is a single glazed partition system with a 35mm slim aluminium Crittall-style frame. Individual glazed panels slide along an overhead track and can be configured in five operating modes — sliding folding, pivot, straight sliding, operable wall and single door — to suit the specific requirements of each space.

The system achieves Rw 33 dB acoustic performance, making it suitable for environments where visual openness and natural light are the primary design drivers alongside moderate sound separation. It is specified in offices, meeting rooms, hospitality venues, hotels and co-working environments.

The MG900 is designed to balance design impact, operational flexibility and acoustic performance — delivering a premium glazed partition aesthetic with the versatility of a multi-configuration single glazed partition system. All installations are carried out by ModernGlide's FIS-accredited team with full project management from survey through to commissioning and handover.

Acoustic Performance

Rw

33dB

MG900 Single Glazed Partition System

Laboratory tested to ISO 140-3 and rated in accordance with ISO 717-1. Rw 33 dB provides meaningful sound separation for general office subdivision, meeting rooms and hospitality environments where visual openness is the primary design driver.

Acoustic Note: Rw 33 dB is suitable for moderate acoustic separation requirements. For projects requiring higher acoustic performance alongside glazed aesthetics, consider the MG500 (Rw up to 43 dB) or MG600 (Rw up to 50 dB). Confirm suitability with an acoustic consultant at design stage.

Specifier Guidance

Key Specification Considerations

  • Confirm structural ceiling capacity for overhead track fixing
  • Coordinate 35mm frame colour with interior scheme at early design stage
  • Specify glass type (clear, low iron, frosted) to suit privacy and light requirements
  • Confirm manifestation requirements under Building Regulations Part M
  • Allow for recessed floor track detail in floor finish specification
  • Engage at RIBA Stage 2 or 3 for complex multi-configuration layouts

Installation and Programme

  • Early engagement recommended for multi-configuration layouts
  • Typical lead time: 4 to 8 weeks from survey sign-off
  • Site survey required before fabrication
  • Structural ceiling check included in survey
  • FIS-accredited installation team on all projects
  • Commissioning and handover documentation as standard

Available Documentation

  • NBS Chorus specification clauses
  • CAD drawings (PDF and DWG)
  • BIM objects (Revit compatible)
  • Technical drawings — multiple configurations
  • Structural loading calculations
  • O&M manual
  • Installation guidance
  • Servicing and maintenance guide
