In today’s dynamic and versatile world, adaptability is critical when optimizing spaces for different needs and activities. Traditional fixed walls limit the functionality of a room, but there is a better solution that can help you unlock the full potential of your space: operable walls.

These innovative partitions transform how we use and configure spaces, providing the flexibility and efficiency required in various environments.

Operable walls, operable partitions, or movable or portable modular walls can quickly and easily divide or open up a large area into smaller sections as needed. Implement these systems in commercial spaces such as office buildings, hotels, conference centers, and educational institutions.

How Operable Walls Work

Operable walls are flexible partitions that allow you to divide a large space into smaller sections or open up the area when needed. The operable wall panels are supported by an overhead track system which guides the panel movement. Operable wall partitions slide along the track to connect to a wall or fold out of the way to open up a space.

The movable partitions can be controlled by hand or automatically. A simple unlocking mechanism allows the panels to slide along a track smoothly, enabling easy space reconfiguration for manual operation. Alternatively, automated systems utilize modern technology to open, close, and stack the panels at the touch of a button, providing convenience and saving time.

“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”

“I just want to take a minute to let you know how good of a job your install crew did yesterday. They were quick, fast, courteous and very consensus during the install. They were awesome to say the least. Being in the service business ourselves, we know that you can never hear the words “Good Job” often enough. Please pass this along to your crew.”
