Airwall Systems
Skyfold & Modernfold Solutions by SGH Concepts
Airwalls of Yesterday
Airwalls, also known as air-supported structures, used pressurized air to create a partition or enclosure without traditional solid walls. A blower would continuously pump air into a fabric membrane, keeping the structure inflated, stable, and in place.
Airwalls of Today: Operable Partitions
Airwalls are no longer made today, but rather, they evolved into operable or folding panel partitions, which used lighter, more effective materials for improved acoustics and insulation. People in hotels and schools may still call these partitions “airwalls.” While their construction has changed, they serve the same purpose: providing a flexible way to divide spaces and maximize room usability.
Operable wall systems provide flexible space division for commercial and architectural environments, allowing large areas to be separated when needed and opened when desired. SGH Concepts provides operable partition solutions from Skyfold and Modernfold for a wide range of applications. SGH Concepts supply and install these systems throughout KS, IA, NE, MT, and WY, while Tetra Vertical Solutions, a division of SGH Redglaze Holdings, serves TX, AR, LA, MS, TN, AL, and FL.
Skyfold
Automated Vertical Folding Ceiling-Retractable Walls
Skyfold vertical retractable partition walls are innovative, motorized operable airwall systems that retract vertically into the ceiling when not in use. They provide a flexible way to divide large spaces into separate rooms or create privacy when needed, while keeping the floor and walls clear when the partition is raised.
Designed for applications such as conference rooms, hotels, schools, offices, and multi-purpose spaces, Skyfold airwalls combine space efficiency with a clean, finished appearance. With the push of a button, the wall can be lowered to create full-height acoustic and visual separation, then discreetly stored overhead when the space needs to be opened back up.
Modernfold
Horizontal Sliding Operable Partition Walls
Modernfold partition walls are flexible, operable airwall systems designed to quickly divide spaces into smaller, more functional areas. Unlike permanent walls, these movable partitions can be opened or closed as space requirements change. Available in a variety of configurations, finishes, and acoustic ratings, Modernfold partitions can provide visual separation, privacy, and sound control while maintaining a professional appearance.
Commonly used in schools, hotels, conference centers, offices, churches, and other multi-purpose facilities, Modernfold walls can be opened and closed as space requirements change. Their ability to create adaptable room layouts makes them a practical solution for maximizing the use of large interior spaces.
