Traditionally, portable screens have a solid build. Due to being portable and concertina, the flat solid panels make it possible to fold the panels together into their compact form. For this reason, acoustic room dividers haven’t been an option as the acoustic foam makes the panels thicker, therefore unable to fold comfortably.
However, we’ve got acoustic screens on the move and this is how we’ve achieved the portable acoustic solutions. Generally, each screen comes supplied with a set of stability feet, complete with a profiled shape for safety purposes. It’s as simple changing of the static feet for the lockable castors that give the acoustic divide the portability it deserves.
With a simple change of feet, the acoustic screens can be moved between open plan areas and used in the loudest spaces to make the biggest impact. As Rap Industries specialize in acoustic partitions, the screen designs are high quality, available to all budgets and effective at reducing noise.
Can I change the panel back to a static screen?
If the portable feature is no longer needed, it’s possible to switch the castor wheels for a pair of stability feet. The stability feet have a raised profile, making them trip and wheelchair friendly and suitable for all open spaces.
Can the acoustic panels be connected?
It’s possible yes, but this is also determined by the chosen partition and the design of that range. Our linking office screens can be linked even when on castor wheels, but must be unlinked when on the move.
Our other screen ranges are a non linking design, so this feature isn’t available. However, this won’t reduce the number of possible configurations.
How easy is movement?
With high quality castor wheels, all of the acoustic screens are easy to move, regardless of weight.
The wheels make easy work of relocating the screens and repositioning the acoustic properties into spaces with loud volumes. Once in place, activate the lock for a solid divide.
