Acoustics
The SM Folding Walls system offers various levels of sound reduction starting at 30dB through to 49dB. All of these levels have certification awarded by reputable independent acousticians; they are not based ‘in-house’ tests. Copies of certification available on request.
Installation and Guarantee
Becker offer a full nationwide installation service. All products are guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship, for a period of 12 months.
Operation
The emphasis here is on simplicity and smooth movement. The continuously hinged panels are pulled from their parked position to ‘close’ (or extend) the wall and pushed back to the parked position to ‘open’ (or fold) the wall. Final flat alignment of wall panels is assisted pneumatically by a gas piston located in the top track.
A lever or recess handle is fitted to the lead panel and this combined with a vertical rebated profile provides the system with its pass door. The door is available with or without a lock cylinder.
Construction
Vertical profiles incorporate compressible bulb seals. Horizontal profiles incorporate sweep seals. Core materials include mineral wood and plasterboard.
Floor supported sits on a low profile alloy floor track which is no more obtrusive than carpet trim and can be easily cleaned.
Each panel is framed with aluminium profiles providing protection to all edges. Profiles can be powder coated or anodised to customers choice of colour.

The Company’s technical advisers are on hand to answer any queries and will work with the specifier to achieve the optimum solution to the requirements of each contract.
Appearance
All walls are made to measure and are therefore in complete harmony with any given opening. The actual panel widths depend on the number of panels. Panel widths generally vary between 600mm and 900mm.
Finishes include: LPL, HPL; any commercially available veneer; wall coverings applied on site; laminate or melamine. Different finishes may be applied to either side of the wall. Aluminium profiles and track may be powder-coated to any RAL or BS colour.
Finishes
The system is available in LPL or HPL finishes offering a wide range of plain colours, wood grains and some patterns. Real wood veneers; wall coverings, pinboard are also options.
The finishes shown are our standard range. Other finishes are also available, for example: real wood veneers and wall coverings. Please contact us for a full list or for more information.
Please note that colours cannot be reproduced 100% accurately on computer monitors (except on specially calibrated equipment). The finished product may therefore vary slightly in colour to that shown on your screen.
