Who wouldn’t want to install a movable wall to their business? They’re practical and multi-functional but also complementary for any environment!

Before you install a movable partition wall, you should always make an assessment as to whether the installation of a movable wall will be beneficial for your business and whether it’s safe to do so. The acoustic movable walls are perfect for schools and offices, they help to minimise volumes, allowing colleagues and students to concentrate more efficiently.

One of the most frequently asked questions is: “Are movable walls safe?” You may consider a movable wall to be exactly what you’re looking for but there’s just one thing holding you back from making that all-important purchase…

Safety!

Installing a movable partition wall has countless benefits but can you guarantee it will last? To maintain high standards, you want to make sure that all your equipment and installations are regularly serviced.

If you choose not to repair a faulty partition or to replace a broken part, you are in fact liable for any accidents that occur in relation to the movable walls. Rather than risking your luck, it’s recommended that you listen to the experts at AEG Partitions who have over 40 years of experience.

Servicing.

A simple service will allow you to get the most out of your movable partition. Poorly maintained acoustic movable walls will not last as long as walls that are serviced at least once a year.

Movable walls are used on a regular basis to open and separate rooms. As the walls are used so often, they are often put under strain and pressure meaning that they’ll eventually give in but this can be offset if you allow AEG Partitions to service and maintain your installation!

Repairs.

A movable partition wall is safe if you choose to repair it as soon as it becomes damaged or broken. A slight wobble or creak in the movable walls may not be a big deal to you, however. AEG Partitions think otherwise!

Don’t leave something minor to progress into something more serious. Leaving it will only make it worse functionality-wise and in terms of your wallet, you could be left short of cash. A service will allow professionals to identify how well that your partition is performing and they’ll have the knowledge to determine whether there are any damages or faults that need rectifying.

Insurance.

Should anything happen to the acoustic movable walls, like the Teachwall 100 and Teachwall 800, you need to make sure that you’re fully insured for the damage that has been caused.

One way to keep on top of things is to report accidents and repairs, an ideal way to do this is to use a log book. The log book can protect your investment of a movable partition wall by allowing you to keep a note of the dates that your wall was serviced.

Compliance.

When it comes to installing a movable wall partition, you want nothing but the best! Make sure you check that the wall was manufactured in adherence with the health and safety regulations. Any partitions that aren’t compliant with laws and legislations will impede on your liability, holding you responsible for any accidents or incidents!

Why is health and safety so important?

OK, so not only are movable walls installed to offer increased flexibility and mobility, they are perfect for opening up rooms to maximise the space available and to encourage social interactions.
