Sound Control

Acoustic VL Series delivers STC ratings from 35 to 40. Full-height sound-insulating liners and multi-ply rubberized sweep seals block conversation for classrooms, meeting spaces, and worship facilities.

The most affordable way to divide large rooms into smaller, purpose-built spaces. Available for pocket or perimeter wall placement, with straight or radius curve tracks for custom configurations.

What Is an Accordion Partition?

Accordion partitions are top-supported folding room dividers that compress into a compact stack and extend to divide a space in seconds. With over 60 years of Kwik-Wall heritage, our systems offer professional-grade durability and acoustic performance for commercial and institutional applications.

Every Kwik-Wall accordion features positive latching, chrome pull handles, and multi-ply rubberized continuous sweep seals at top and bottom for a tight seal that minimizes sound transmission and air leakage. Designed for easy installation in pocket or perimeter wall placements.

Two Series. Five Models.

From the non-acoustic MK Series to the fully sound-rated VL Series, there's a Kwik-Wall accordion for every space and budget.

Understanding Sound Transmission Class (STC)

STC is a single-number rating of how well a partition blocks airborne sound. Higher numbers mean better privacy. Kwik-Wall's acoustic VL Series delivers independently tested STC ratings verified by an NVLAP-accredited laboratory per ASTM E 90.

35
VL-2
Normal speech is blocked; raised voices are still audible through the wall.
38
VL-6
Conversation becomes muffled. Strong choice for meeting rooms, training spaces, and classrooms.
40
VL-8
Excellent acoustic isolation. Speech from the adjacent space is not intelligible.

Accordion vs. Operable Partitions

Both divide space — but they're built for different jobs. Here's how they stack up so you can decide which is right for your facility.

Accordion Partitions

Acoustics STC 35–40
Stack Width 5¼"–10"
Weight 1.5–3.65 lbs/sq ft
Operation Manual, top-supported
Cost Most economical
Best For Religious facilities, restaurants, banquet halls, schools, auditoriums, community centers, and hotel meeting rooms where flexibility and value matter most.

Operable Partitions

Acoustics STC 40–56
Stack Width Nominal 4 ft
Weight 6.5–11 lbs/sq ft
Operation Premium manual or motorized
Cost Premium investment
Best For Hotels, corporate training rooms, ballrooms, and any facility where acoustic privacy, premium finishes, and maximum sound control justify a higher investment.

Designed for These Applications

Accordion partitions excel in commercial and institutional environments where flexible space management is essential.

Religious Facilities

Restaurants & Banquet Halls

Flex between private events, large receptions, and everyday dining. Fast setup means more bookings per day.

Schools & Auditoriums

Transform multipurpose rooms into classrooms, assemblies, or breakouts. Acoustic VL Series keeps adjacent rooms quiet.

Community Centers

Support community programming that shifts daily — from classes to meetings to events — without permanent construction.

Hotels & Training Spaces

Divide training rooms, function spaces, and meeting areas. Economical alternative to operable partitions for mid-range venues.

Multipurpose Rooms

One space, many uses. Accordion partitions let you reshape rooms in minutes, not weeks of renovation.

Common Questions About Accordion Partitions

What's the difference between MK and VL series?
The MK Series is a sight divider — it provides visual separation only, with no acoustic rating. The VL Series is a sound divider with full-height acoustic liners and STC ratings from 35 to 40. Choose MK for basic visual separation, VL when noise control matters.
How much stacking space do I need?
Stack widths vary by model: MK-X is just 5¼", MK-XX is 9", VL-2 and VL-6 are 9½", and VL-8 is 10". Tell us the width of your opening and your available pocket or stack space when you request a quote and we'll recommend the right model.
Can accordion partitions curve?
Yes. Both MK and VL series are available with straight or radius curve tracks (minimum 3'-6" radius), plus optional track switches for stacking in remote locations. Perfect for unconventional layouts.
What about fire safety and codes?
All standard finishes are Class A fire rated per ASTM E 84, meeting commercial and institutional code requirements. Custom materials are also available — subject to Kwik-Wall factory approval — if you need a specific aesthetic or spec.
What warranty does Kwik-Wall offer?
Kwik-Wall provides a five-year limited warranty against factory defects in materials and workmanship, plus a five-year warranty on the pantograph frame, wheels, trolleys, and track against operating failure under normal use.
