Acoustics On The Move!

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.

How to divide a room with temporary room dividers

Dividing a room can revitalize unused space or make a space multi functional. It’s often thought that division into offices are built in and are very much permanent. Whilst that’s possible, there are other approaches to divide space on either a semi permanent or temporary basis.

When it comes to dividing space on a temporary basis, the chosen screens or room divider should be mobile. The addition of wheels and castor feet show no restriction for portability and can be moved as frequently as required. Incorporating a versatile screen maximises an open space and allows you reinvent your office for the better.

How the room is dividing is completely down to you but the different styles determine the set up and should help you choose which style is best for usability and the available space.

Our free standing office screens used to be a static solution, but with a small tweak of castor wheels are now portable too! Opening avenues of portable acoustic, laminate, printed and acrylic screening. The number of finishes broadens how and where our screen ranges can be placed.

As the floor standing panels are purchased singularly, multiple panels should be connected to create the width of choice. We’ll make sure you have what you need to connect the panels and create the portable, temporary wall required.

Portable concertina screen with light grey fabric

To make the temporary solutions as simple as possible, concertina screens are an effective way to divide a room into multiple areas. The concertina name comes from the way the panels fold together and proves a useful tool as a part time solution.

Using the foldable screen requires unfolding the panels, moving in to a shape or straight line and you’re new space has been partitioned.

The folding mechanism of the room divider is part of the attraction. Instead of moving a full sized screen, each panels fold with the next to create a compact unit. The ease of folding, moving and storing is second to none.

Due to the light weight design, the portable dividers are ideal in an emergency too. Simple grab the screens and unfold for privacy and shielding. Temporary office dividers only need to make an appearance when in use. The remainder of the time can be spent in storage and out of sight. There’s no reason for the screens to become an unused part of an office design.

Bi-Folding Room Dividers

Bi-folding room dividers offer a versatile solution for dividing and sectioning a room with ease. Also known as concertina screens, these dividers can fold in various ways, allowing for different placements and uses within the chosen area. Equipped with sturdy hinges and castor wheels, these screens can be easily moved around, even if the panels are light or heavy weight. The addition of castor wheels is particularly beneficial when the dividers will be moved by a single person or if they are regularly relocated.

The design of a folding room divider allows for multiple configurations, which can be achieved by angling and positioning the panels correctly. Whether you need a straight form or a U shape, the bi-folding panels are flexible enough to provide the desired coverage. To ensure the right coverage for your space, the number of panels and their height are crucial factors. These dividers can cover small to large open spaces, with heights reaching up to 2m for maximum impact.

At Rap Industries, we understand that personalizing your space is important. That’s why we offer a wide selection of finishes to suit any environment. As part of our bi-folding or concertina room divider range, you have access to printed, loop nylon, laminate, and fabric finishes.

The most expressive choice is the printed panel finish, which allows you to add bespoke artwork designed by you. With double-sided printing, you can incorporate bold and eye-catching images and fonts to create a unique feature in your workplace.

Loop nylon is another fabric option that enhances the versatility of portable room dividers. Commonly used on display boards, loop nylon has a Velcro-friendly finish, allowing you to create a small display or notice area in addition to providing privacy.

If you need a whiteboard surface, our high-pressure laminate (HPL) finish with a white gloss is the perfect choice. This finish accepts dry wipe pens, making the divider suitable for use in meetings, training sessions, and brainstorming sessions. You can utilize the divider as both a separator and a whiteboard, maximizing its functionality.

The woven finish is utilized by adding a layer of fabric over the solid panels, aiming to introduce vibrant colors into the chosen area.

Choose Rap Industries for your bi-folding room divider needs and enjoy the flexibility, versatility, and customization options we offer.
