Benefits of Operable Walls
1) Intelligent and Flexible space utility.

2) Effective and more usage per floor area

3) Creating extra revenue in Hotels, Conference center, Convention halls, recreation places by holding several smaller functions as well as large ones.

4) Creating Multiple Classrooms, Meeting rooms, office areas instead of one boardroom.

5) The most favouring advantage it is highly economical such as (reduced energy bills) and at the same time aesthetically appealing.

Types of Glass Operable Walls
Glass operable walls are available in two types
• Frame less which uses a 12mm toughened glass
• Embedded glass which uses a 10mm toughened glass

Sound Control
In architectural acoustics, we are concerned with controlling the amplitude and / or the duration of sound. In walls and partitions, this is done by controlling sound transmission loss and sound absorption.

Currently, the most widely accepted standard for ranking the acoustical performance of accordion and operable partitions is STC or sound Transmission Class.

Finding STC. Sound Transmission Class is a two digit number describing the laboratory performance of a single building element in stopping the transmission of sound through it the following chart to get a rough idea what various STC levels mean in terms of privacy afforded. Note that this is only a very rough guide

**STC Privacy Afforded
25 Normal speech easily understood

30 Normal speech audible, but unintelligible

35 Loud speech understood

40 Loud speech audible, but unintelligible

45 Loud speech barely audible

50 Shouting barely audible

55 Shouting not audible

The intended use of the building or room versus the use of the surrounding areas will, in part, determine the amount of sound control you need. For example, a folding wall dividing a high school science classroom from a student lab doesn’t need to have as good a barrier as an operable partition between meeting rooms in a hotel.
