Flexible Space, Built for the Real World
Proven Heritage
Kwik-Wall has built accordion partitions for over 60 years. Time-tested engineering that delivers smooth operation, quiet performance, and years of reliable service.
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.
Economical Flexibility
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.
VL-8 — Maximum Acoustic Separation
The top acoustic performer in the VL lineup. Dual sound-retardant liners plus 1/2" fiberglass blankets deliver excellent isolation for spaces where speech privacy matters.
VL-6 — Strong Acoustic Performance
The middle option in the VL Series. Full-height sound-insulating liners on both sides deliver solid acoustic isolation at a lower hanging weight than the VL-8.
VL-2 — Entry-Level Acoustic
Sound-rated performance at the lightest weight in the VL Series. A great option when you need acoustic separation without the premium weight or price of higher-STC models.
MK-XX — Large Non-Acoustic Divider
Maximum coverage for visual separation where sound control isn't needed. Ideal for dividing banquet halls, gymnasiums, and training spaces on a budget.
MK-X — Compact Non-Acoustic Divider
The lightest and most compact option. Perfect for smaller openings where you need visual separation in a minimal footprint. The narrowest stack width in the full Kwik-Wall accordion line.
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.

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.
