Definition
What is the MG500 movable wall?
The MG500 is a flush glazed partition system — a full-height glass sliding folding wall with slim aluminium framing that delivers both visual openness and acoustic performance up to Rw 43 dB. It is available in four operating configurations to suit any project layout.
Acoustic performance is achieved through dual-layer glass construction (low iron or clear) with acoustic seals at top and bottom — independently tested to ISO 140-3 and rated to ISO 717-1. The system is specified across offices, conference centres, education buildings and hospitality venues.
The MG500 is the correct choice when both visual transparency and meaningful acoustic separation are required — where a standard glazed partition does not provide enough sound reduction, but a solid movable wall would sacrifice the light and openness of the space.
Quick Answers

How It Works
How Does a Flush Glazed Sliding Folding Partition Work?
The MG500 operates as a hinged or sliding glazed partition. Full-height glass panels are hinged together or suspended from an overhead track and fold or slide to one side — creating a clear opening when required and a continuous glazed wall when closed.
Panels folded open
Glass panels fold and stack to one side of the opening, or retract into a pocket. The full opening is clear and unobstructed.
Panels unfolded to close
Panels are unfolded or slid along the overhead track to close the opening. The flush glazed panels form a continuous, clean glass wall.
Acoustic seals engaged
Top and bottom rubber acoustic seals engage when panels are in the closed position, ensuring sound reduction is maximised across the full panel height.
Space divided or opened
The MG500 allows rapid reconfiguration from open to divided — or divided to open — by a single operator without specialist training.
System Configurations
What are the Four MG500 System Configurations?
The MG500 system can be configured in four main operating formats. Each delivers the same flush glazed aesthetic and acoustic performance — giving architects and designers the freedom to choose the right operating format for every space.
Configuration 1
Flush Glazed Hinged Sliding Folding System
Floor Supported
A hinged sliding folding configuration allowing panels to fold and stack neatly to one side. This floor-supported configuration is ideal for creating flexible room divisions while maintaining a sleek glazed aesthetic. Panels hinge together accordion-style for rapid, effortless reconfiguration.

Configuration 2
Flush Glazed Pivot Panel System
Top Hung
Pivoting glazed panels that rotate smoothly on a top-hung mechanism. This configuration creates striking architectural openings and allows panels to pivot to create flexible, open layouts. The top-hung mechanism requires no floor track, delivering an unobstructed threshold.

Configuration 3
Flush Glazed Pocket Straight Sliding Door Panel
Top Hung
Straight sliding glazed panels that glide into a pocket or stacking area. This top-hung configuration is ideal for creating wide openings while maintaining clean, uninterrupted glass lines when closed. Panels disappear neatly into the pocket for maximum clear opening.

Configuration 4
Flush Glazed Operable Wall Panel
Top Hung
A glazed operable wall configuration where independent panels slide and stack to divide or open spaces. This option is ideal for meeting rooms, conference areas and flexible office layouts where maximum versatility is required.

About these videos: The MG500 product demonstration videos above show how the movable acoustic wall system operates in practice. Each video illustrates a different configuration or stacking option, demonstrating how panels move along the overhead track, how they fold and stack into the designated parking area, and how the acoustic seals engage to create a high-performance sound barrier. These demonstrations help architects, interior designers and project managers understand the operational simplicity and flexibility of the MG500 system before specifying or installing.
Key Features
What Makes the MG500 the Right Choice?
Flush Glazed Panels
Full-height glass panels with minimal aluminium framing create a seamless glazed appearance. The flush profile maximises glass area and natural light transmission for clean, straight visual lines.
Acoustic Performance to Rw 43 dB
Dual-layer low iron or clear glass with acoustic seals delivers sound reduction up to Rw 43 dB. All ratings independently tested to ISO 140-3 and rated in accordance with ISO 717-1.
Four Operating Configurations
Available as hinged sliding folding (floor supported), pivot panel (top hung), pocket straight sliding (top hung) or operable wall (top hung) — adapting to any project requirement.
Slim Aluminium Frame
Black as standard with powder coat to any RAL colour available. The 71 mm panel thickness and slim edge profiles maximise the glazing area for an elegant modern appearance.
Full Height Pass Door
The MG500 includes a full height pass door closure panel as standard, allowing convenient access without needing to open the entire partition system.
Manifestation Options
Glass manifestation available in a wide range of patterns, films and custom designs. Frosted, etched and printed options available. Meets Building Regulations Part M requirements.
