What is movable wall?

Movable walls (also known as operable wall, demountable walls or sliding wall) are typically floor to ciling partition or panels that can be adjusted to change spatial arrangements.

The purpose of movable walls is generally to transform a single space into multiple smaller spaces with minimal effort. They can divide a school hall into different multi-purpose area for simultaneous physical activities or split a large conference facility into smaller seminar rooms. When they are not needed, the partititons are folded, moved or concealed in a space efficient manner.

Types off movable walls

In general : there are 3 main types of movable walls : glass movable wall, mdf movable wall, folding wall

Variflex movable wall

Combining spatial elegance and functional efficiency to meet the highest standards
With Variflex from DORMA Hüppe, there are almost no limits to the architectural creativity that can be applied – starting with the floor plan and continuing through to the installed and operable partition. By incorporating sensible divisions, spaces can be configured in accordance with changing demands and prevailing functional requirements, giving more flexibility in every-day usage. The more complex the requirements placed on a movable wall system, the more clients are advised to opt for the DORMA Hüppe Variflex. Even room proportions can be tailored to individual requirements with this system. Its variability and flexibility engenders outstanding functionality, even in the case of large room heights, inclined ceilings or angled walls.

Functional and aesthetic design
The characteristics of a room are defined in particular by its visual appearance. Consequently, the partitioning system should also harmoniously integrate within the given ambience. DORMA Hüppe Variflex makes this possible with a virtually inexhaustible choice of textures and colors meeting even the most demanding design and styling requirements. Enabling artistic ideas to be converted into reality.
