About Our Servicing

Why Movable Acoustic Wall Systems
Require Regular Servicing

Movable acoustic wall systems are precision-engineered products that rely on correctly adjusted tracks, carriers, seals and mechanisms to operate smoothly and deliver their designed acoustic performance. Over time, components wear, seals degrade and systems drift out of alignment — affecting both ease of operation and sound reduction performance.

Regular movable wall servicing and operable wall maintenance ensures that your system continues to operate as intended, protecting your investment and maintaining the acoustic environment your building depends on. For facilities managers and building managers, planned maintenance contracts provide peace of mind and a documented service history.

ModernGlide is a specialist provider of movable wall servicing with experience across a wide range of operable wall systems and sliding partition types. Our engineers are trained specifically in movable wall maintenance — not general building maintenance contractors — giving you the specialist expertise your system deserves.

New System Required?

Sometimes Replacement is the Right Answer

Older movable wall systems can often be refurbished rather than replaced — saving significant cost. However, if your system is beyond economic repair, ModernGlide also supplies and installs a full range of new movable acoustic wall systems.

Why Service Regularly

The Benefits of Regular
Operable Wall Servicing

Planned movable wall maintenance is an investment that pays for itself — protecting your system, maintaining acoustic performance and avoiding costly emergency repairs.

Smooth System Operation

Regular servicing keeps tracks clean, lubricated and correctly adjusted — ensuring panels move freely and quietly every time.

Maintained Acoustic Performance

Acoustic seals degrade over time. Servicing restores correct seal engagement, maintaining the sound reduction performance the system was designed to deliver.

Extended Product Lifespan

Well-maintained movable wall systems last significantly longer. Servicing identifies and addresses minor issues before they become costly failures.

Reduced Risk of Breakdowns

Planned maintenance reduces the risk of unexpected system failures — particularly important in high-use venues such as schools, hotels and conference centres.

Maintenance Records

Written service reports provide a documented maintenance history — valuable for building managers, compliance purposes and future system assessments.

Expert Engineers

Our engineers are specialists in movable wall systems with experience across all major brands and system types. You get the right expertise, not a general maintenance contractor.

Our Process

The Movable Wall
Servicing Process

Every movable wall service visit follows a structured process to ensure all components are inspected, adjusted and tested. Our engineers work methodically through each stage to deliver a thorough and consistent service.

01

Inspection of Tracks & Carriers

Our engineers begin with a thorough inspection of the overhead track system, checking for wear, damage, misalignment and lubrication condition. Carrier assemblies and suspension components are inspected and adjusted.

02

Panel Alignment Check

Each panel is checked for correct alignment, level and plumb. Panel-to-panel joints are inspected for consistent gaps. Any panels that have drifted out of alignment are corrected.

03

Seal & Mechanism Adjustment

Acoustic seals — including drop seals, top seals, side seals and brush seals — are inspected and adjusted. Correct seal engagement is critical to acoustic performance and is verified at every service visit.

04

Replacement of Worn Components

Any components showing wear or deterioration are replaced during the service visit. We carry a comprehensive stock of replacement seals, rollers and hardware to complete repairs in a single visit wherever possible.

05

Operational Test

Following all adjustments and replacements, the full system is operated through its complete range of movement to verify smooth, quiet operation and correct acoustic seal engagement.

06

Service Report

A written service report is provided following every visit, detailing work carried out, condition of components and any recommended follow-up works. This supports maintenance records for facilities managers.
