Grand Ballrooms

Installation & Support Requirements

  • Structural engineer must verify header capacity for total wall weight and dynamic loads.
  • Steel frame requires welded connections — field welding may be required.
  • Electrical supply required for motorized operation (220V or 380V depending on configuration).
  • Minimum header depth of 300 mm (12 in) for tall panel stacking.
  • Fire rating requires separate assessment — contact us for ASTM E84 options.

Warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this system suitable for tall openings?
The steel frame construction provides the structural rigidity needed for panels up to 59 ft. Aluminum systems are limited to approximately 20 ft.
Is motorized operation required?
No. Manual operation is available, but semi-automatic or fully automatic seal activation is recommended for panels over 30 ft to reduce operator effort.
What is the acoustic rating?
NEUWALL motorized operable walls are rated Rw 50 / 53 / 55 dB per BS EN ISO 717-1. The 100 mm panel also carries an ASTM E90 STC 55 dB rating (report XMIN180500970CCM).
Can this system be used for fire-rated applications?
Surface flame spread ratings are available as an option. For US projects, ASTM E84 Class A testing is recommended. Contact us for specific requirements.
