The following case studies illustrate just a few of the successful installations achieved with Parthos partitions, offering purpose designed solutions for very specific uses.

The brief Built in 1907 the buildings size limited it's usefulness to the community. Under the inspiration of the Reverend Phil Johnson a scheme was put forward for grants to double the size of the chapel. With a need to maximise the value of the new hall they needed to separate the old from the new as and when required.

The Solution We were engaged to provide a Palace 110s acoustic movable wall. The wall has centre double opening doors that align with the aisle, particularly useful for weddings and funerals. The finish is a polished ash veneer to match the buildings main doors. The sound reduction is at 50 decibels. When not in use stacking of the panels is nicely concealed. Height 2750mm Width 7570mm after providing two nibs of 1300mm and 1500mm each side.

We understand the result has been an outstanding success with the building in use every day for a variety of functions. They show the full story on the Ebenezer web site. Click on the red Link above. You need to scroll through 75% of the interesting project pictures to see the wall being installed.

The brief This well known landmark hotel has spent some £2million refurbishment and has become an all year round, sought after location. The problem was how to accommodate all the increasing banquet and conference demand.

The Solution We were initially pleased to be able to provide the Palace 110s as the solution in the restaurant and then delighted at being asked back to install a second Palace in the Ball room. From the picture you will see priority was to retain the elegant interior of this outstanding Victorian hotel. With just the top hung track the wall sections are able to be stored along one side of the room (an alternative to a normal stacking arrangement) and to be moved into one of two positions so accommodating different sized functions. The 2 double wicket doors provide ease of access and meets one of the initial requirements to allow brides to pass through. In this picture the movable wall is stored to the right. The option is to run it across the room on tracks at either end of the stored position. As in the picture below 5 panels are moved into the foreground position with 2 other panels being seen on the other track ready to be moved.

The Brief Under the supervision of a school catering specialists the dining hall at Honiton Community College was to be refurbished to high standards not only for health and hygiene requirements but to make a pleasant environment. As such the specification was to include a folding partition to separate part of the dining area for smaller numbers.

The Solution With an opening span of 8 meters and a 3 meter height we were able to provide the Mono with, in this case, panels of 200mm. All neatly folds back to one end and is suspended from a slim top track. No need for an unhygienic floor track. The chosen finish was an attractive beech laminate providing an easy to clean surface and a pleasant visual impression. The Mono comes as a robust accordion style partition. Exceptionally easy to handle and as a single sided panel is very cost effective.

The brief	To divide a large area in a new extension block into a play and dining facility with access via a central linking corridor that was in constant use from routine and emergency traffic. Visibility and quiet closure to the play area was a pre-requisite. Ease of cleaning and operation were also an important consideration.	ROYAL accordion style folding doors
The solution	Two 'Royal' accordion style folding doors from the Parthos range with two clear vertical panels were fitted. These were finished in light oak vinyl surface to withstand knocks from toys and trolleys and easy to clean. As they are suspended from a top track, there is no floor obstruction. The solution was so successful that the Whittington's commissioning engineer recommended the same solution be applied to divide the hospitals gymnasium and physiotherapy reception area.
