Similar to routine maintenance for your vehicle, HVAC system, or garage door, maintaining your movable partitions and acoustic walls can help keep them running properly and looking wonderful while significantly reducing the likelihood of severe problems in the future. Don’t put your system in danger by neglecting regular maintenance.
You always want your movable walls to function effectively and for the product to operate at a high level. The track and trolley system, a crucial part of the operable walls, should be maintained in addition to the aesthetics of the paneling. You won’t be able to use the product’s advantages if you have trouble shifting the movable wall. Due to worries about noise levels, if there is an acoustic performance problem, it will also affect your company’s operations. Recognizing and addressing these issues right once without interfering with your company operations can help you maintain the product and acoustic performance of your operable wall.
Act now to avoid having to shut down business operations for an emergency repair or worry about a lengthy wait for service appointments and ordered parts. Don’t wait for something to go wrong with your operable wall. Want to take action more often? Obtain a maintenance schedule. These include yearly or semi-yearly maintenance that may typically take care of fundamental problems like typical wear and tear and save expensive repairs in the future.
Regular maintenance of your partition system is necessary to satisfy your health and safety standards and ensure its continuous, seamless operation.
Maintaining your movable walls
All running tracks should be cleaned every six months and gently lubricated with grease. Like motor vehicles, routine maintenance may extend the life of moveable walls by lowering the likelihood of occupational health and safety hazards and preventing unforeseen repairs. A service plan or maintenance schedule for movable walls may require the assistance of a movable wall installer.
- Examine track joints to ensure that they are correctly aligned from one segment of the track to the following section. Smooth track joints without gouges or burrs are ideal.
- The track junction should be covered with alignment pins.
- Examine the condition of the railway and its junctions. (Only the Multi-Directional and Curve & Diverter systems are affected by this.)
- Make the track’s inner flange clean with any petroleum-based solvent (mineral spirits).
- Always inspect carts for any indications of unusual wear or damage.
- Replace them as necessary
- Panel alignment should be checked; if panels are not level, this may be due to a loose trolley bolt and may be fixed by tightening the trolley/pulley nuts.
- Verify that the top and bottom seals are operating correctly. Contact the installation right away if they aren’t working properly.
