Flexible Architectural Solutions
Movable Acoustic Walls
for Commercial Spaces
ModernGlide movable acoustic wall systems are designed for architects and interior designers who need to create flexible, high-performance spaces in commercial buildings. Our systems allow spaces to be divided or opened at will — without compromising on acoustic performance or architectural quality.
The MG Series range includes both solid acoustic panel systems and fully glazed partition systems, giving design teams the flexibility to specify the right solution for each space — whether the priority is maximum acoustic separation, natural light transmission or contemporary aesthetic integration.
ModernGlide systems are regularly specified in offices, education buildings, conference centres and hospitality venues across the UK. As an FIS-accredited company with a full NBS Chorus listing, we provide the technical documentation and specification support that architects and specifiers need throughout the design process.

Acoustic Performance for
Commercial Environments
Acoustic performance is a fundamental requirement in any movable wall specification. ModernGlide systems provide certified acoustic ratings suitable for the most demanding commercial environments — from corporate boardrooms to school halls and conference venues.
High-Performance Acoustic Separation
The MG100 movable acoustic wall system achieves Rw up to 59 dB — suitable for boardrooms, executive meeting rooms and education spaces where maximum acoustic privacy is required.
Glazed Acoustic Partitions
The MG600 glazed operable wall achieves Rw up to 50 dB, combining natural light transmission with strong acoustic separation — ideal for conference suites and open-plan office dividers.
Electric Operable Walls
The MG100E fully electric movable wall achieves Rw up to 54 dB while offering automated operation — designed for large conference centres, hotels and corporate environments.

Why Movable Walls
Movable Acoustic Walls vs
Standard Partition Systems
While traditional fixed partitions create permanent room divisions, movable acoustic wall systems allow spaces to adapt to changing requirements — making them a more versatile and future-proof specification choice for commercial buildings.
Permanent room division — cannot be altered without significant building work
Flexible room layouts that adapt to changing occupancy and use requirements
Space is locked into a single configuration regardless of demand
Improved space utilisation — one large space or multiple smaller rooms as required
Variable acoustic performance depending on construction quality
Engineered acoustic performance with certified Rw ratings up to 59 dB
Refurbishment required to open or reconfigure divided spaces
Spaces open or divide in minutes — no tools, no disruption to building occupants
Limited design integration — standard plasterboard finish
Modern architectural integration — solid, glazed and electric options available
