Product catalog summary

Introduction
Modernfold, a DORMA Group Company, has been a trusted provider of operable partitions since 1925, offering customized solutions for various applications such as office buildings, classrooms, hotels, and more. The Acousti-Seal® Encore® is a leading product in their lineup, known for its superior sound control and flexible space design.

Product Specifications
The Acousti-Seal® Encore® operable partitions are available in two configurations: Single Panel and Paired Panel. Both configurations offer a nominal panel thickness of 4 inches and are constructed with roll-formed and welded steel frames. They provide an industry-leading STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 52, 54, or 56, ensuring excellent acoustical performance.

Key Features

SureSet™ Seal System: Automatic top and bottom seals that ensure consistent operation and sound control.
Smart Track® System: Allows for complex layout solutions without the need for electric or pneumatic switches.
Finish Options: Includes vinyl, carpet, fabric, and custom materials, with options for uncovered panels for field finishing.

Acoustical Performance
The Acousti-Seal® Encore® partitions have been tested to achieve a 56 STC rating in laboratory settings. However, achieving optimal acoustics in actual spaces requires adherence to ASTM E557 specifications, which guide the construction surrounding the partitions to prevent sound leakage through flanking paths, ceiling plenums, and partition-to-wall connections.

Configurations and Applications

Single Panel: Ideal for large openings and complex layouts, offering versatility and flexibility.
Paired Panel: Suitable for straight-line openings, providing quick and easy setup with hinged panels.

Options and Accessories

Work surfaces such as marker boards and tack boards.
Pass doors with acoustical construction and ADA-compliant hardware.
Various accessories including chair rails, push plates, and recessed exit signs.

Suspension Systems
Modernfold offers durable steel suspension systems with Smart Track® technology, providing easy operation and maintenance-free performance. The systems include #17 and #14 steel tracks, as well as RT200 and RT100 right angle suspension systems for grid layouts.

Conclusion

Their customizable options and reliable suspension systems make them suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
