A revolutionary new movable wall for hospitals | 26 Apr 2007 |
The revolutionary new MOVEO® movable wall system from DORMA is lightweight, flexible and easy to operate, providing the perfect answer to the ever increasing demand for efficient and adaptable space utilisation in busy, relentless, hospital environments.
A hospital depends on the efficient and flexible optimisation of its available space and the installation of a DORMA MOVEO® system can really make a difference. Varying sizes of waiting areas can be created and just as easily converted back into small reception rooms, offices or consulting units as required. Wards can be left open, or sectioned off into private rooms. Examination rooms, lecture theatres, meeting rooms – even cafeteria areas and hospital shopping facilities can be opened up, or sectioned off in seconds.
The system is amazingly light compared with conventional movable walls – the two outer shells of the element being made from a glass fibre reinforced composite board – and because of this exceptional light weight, the MOVEO® panels can be moved quickly, accurately and effortlessly to their designated location. Once the panels are in position the standard ComforTronic® control system automatically extends the sealing strips, eliminating the need for any manual winding – with no winding key to go missing. The seal is seated with exactly the right contact pressure every time, which means that an acoustic value of up to 55dB is achievable and the seal ensures partition stability as well.
The DORMA MOVEO® system is available in four product variations to meet specific user requirements. The Smart Line is ideal for average room heights and low sound insulation requirements (37 dB), while the Business Line offers a solution for moderate to high sound insulation values (47 and 55 dB) and has a more sophisticated finish. High acoustic values (55 dB) combined with high-quality, aesthetically pleasing surface finishes are offered by the Design.
The various surface finishes available are classified into three different 'Collections'. The Design Collection comprises high-quality, genuine wood veneers, striking metal decors and RAL-painted surfaces. The Classic Collection contains particularly hard-wearing, scratch and impact-resistant surfaces in a variety of colours, as wood reproduction, or as textured decor finishes. Further alternatives are available in the Functional Collection, ranging from rugged steel sheet and write-on or magnetic cover panels, to surfaces that perform as overhead and daylight projector screens.
When it comes to parking the MOVEO® panels, there are six stacking alternatives and each takes up a relatively small area – which benefits the general aesthetics of the room – and their light weight means they have little effect on the structural integrity of the hospital building.
