1.
Horizontal Seal
-
- To achieve
optimum sound
- attenuation,
a double-shell
- construction
is used. Working
- on the jack
principle telescopic,
- flexible,
spring-loaded double
- seals press
against the ceiling
- track and the
floor; the spring
- sections
taking up any normal
- ceiling
deflection. Each panel
- exerts a load
of 80-150 kp on
- the floor
screed, which is not
- sufficient to
overload the floor
- (particularly
when the panels
- are parked)
but is sufficient to
- give the
Variflex system enough
- stability to
avoid its displacement
- even when
subjected to pressure.
2.Corner
Seal
- Special
corner sections
- (DBP P 2306
617.3-09)
- act as corner
seals and
- serve to
increase the stability
- of the wall.

3.
Vertical Seal
-
- A 4-way PVC
lipped profile
- based on a
tongued and
- grooved
principle ensures
- good sealing
against sound
- penetration.

4.
Magnetic Strip
-
- A 4-way magnetic edge
strip
- bonds adjacent
elements with a
- force of 7 kp per
linear metre.
- The modules are
aligned by the
- concave/convex form
of the
- magnetic strips.

5. Facing
panels
-
- To achieve optimum
sound
- attenuation, 16 mm
thick
- chipboard facing
panels are
- suspended on each
side of the
- frame. These are
acoustically
- free to vibrate (DBP
No 2049
- 836). Panels can be
covered in
- all normal wall
finishes and
- individual facing
panels can be
- interchanged in
minutes.

6.
Operating handle
-
- Operating the
Variflex system is carried
- out using a special
crank handle.
-
7. Release
mechanism
- The magnetic force
which bonds
- adjacent panels
together can be
- broken by a gentle
pulling motion.
|
-
|
8. Frames
-
- The element framework
is made
- up of aluminium
hollow sections
- and steel tube
profiles. This rigid,
- non-deflecting
framework,
- together with the 16
mm
- chipboard facing
panels, gives a
- module of high
strength,
- exceptional sound
attenuation
- and trouble-free
operation.
