Hufcor operable partitions are manufactured in the USA and under license throughout the world. They are available through authorized Distributors. Also known as movable walls, Airwalls®, folding doors and room dividers, Hufcor operable partitions set the standard for quality, durability, acoustic separation, and ease of movement. Hufcor movable partitions are the creative way to add flexibility and functionality to your space. Operable partitions consist of a series of interlocking flat panels designed in custom widths up to 5’ [1524] and suspended from overhead tracks. Heights range from over-the-counter use to the more than 60’ [18288] tall panels used in convention centers. Hufcor operable partitions are identified as the Series 600 in both 3” [76] and 4” [102] thick models. Both models offer picture framed protective edge trim as standard, however, each may be supplied with a monolithic, untrimmed vertical edge, if preferred. Our quick-set™ retractable top and bottom seals provide the easiest in-field operation - a simple half-turn of the waist high removable handle extends or retracts the sound seals.
The partitions may be finished with a selection from our standard vinyl colors (included in the price) or with optional fabric, carpet, veneer, high pressure laminate, murals, architectural fusions or other custom surfaces. Visit our Photo Gallery to see the variety of standard or custom finishes that have been used on Hufcor's operable partitions. As with all Hufcor products, operable partitions are custom manufactured to job site dimensions. Models are designed to provide varying levels of sound control. An array of accessories and options such as inset or full-height markerboards, pass doors, pocket doors, prep for windows, etc., provide additional functionality. Although we offer the most comprehensive selection of operable partitions, occasionally our “standard” products won’t meet your needs. Our talented engineers can design custom partitions for a specific wall requirements and movable tracking systems for custom doors. Operable partitions are available in three configurations.
These configurations may be used alone or combined to create the flexibility needed. Operable partitions may also be combined with our accordion, glass wall and Summit vertical lift products.Panels are hinged in pairs and manually operated. You may completely close the opening or place pairs of panels along the overhead track for use as display panels or sight dividers. Paired panels are popular for fast setup in classrooms, meeting rooms and training centers. Also known as omni-directional or individual panels, single panels are manually operated and offer optimum room flexibility. The track system enables the panels to negotiate angles and intersections and be moved to alternate locations. Curved and self-sorting track systems are available as well. Single panels are often used in hotel ballrooms and meeting rooms and convention centers; however, they can be used in every type of facility. Also known as trains, continuously hinged panels are hinged together and move from wall to wall in a straight line.
Electric models are often used in school gymnasiums, hotel ballrooms and commercial spaces. They operate with keyed switches. Byron White 100m Extra Loud Flashing Wireless Doorbell Kit.

You may be looking at products on our site and asking "what is the difference between MDF, particle board, and plywood?" You'd be surprised by how many people really don't know the difference. In this article, we’ll explain which out of the three types of wood is the most affordable and strongest. We'll also discuss the different grades of each engineered wood composite. Make sure you understand the pros and cons of medium-density fiberboard, plywood, and particle board to make your purchasing decision easy.
Displays Made with MDF Displays Made with Particle Board Displays Made with Plywood What is Particle Board? Simply put, particle board is a waste-wood product made by heat pressing wood chips, sawmill shavings, or even sawdust and resin together. To make the end product water resistant, fireproof, and/or insect-proof chemicals are used including wax, dyes, wetting agents, and release agents. After the resin, chemicals, and wood scraps have been mixed together, the liquid mixture is made into a sheet. The weight of the wood chips is evenly distributed to make sure the finished board is not top heavy. Compression is applied to the particle board sheet multiple times to create the tightest possible bond between the resin and the wood bits. A popular type of particle board that you may see is oriented strand board (OSB). This wood composite is very important to home and commercial engineers for structural purposes. Oriented strand board is easily identifiable by its manufacturing process that layers strands of wood in specific orientations.
Most home and commercial builders use OSB particle board for floor and wall bases. Perfect for Ready-Made Furniture Low Strength - Cannot Support Heavy Loads Not as Eco-Friendly as Wood Furniture Expands or Discolors Due to Moisture What is MDF Wood? MDF stands for medium-density fiberboard, which is an engineered wood composite made up of wood fibers. Because the MDF is composed of small wood fibers, there is no visible wood grain, rings, or knots. The making of the composite uses the fibers, glue, and heat to create a tight bonding board. Both softwood and hardwood are used to manufacture MDF. Generally denser than plywood, this composition creates a stronger material for building. We use a veneer sealant to prevent water damage. Two types of fiberboard are moisture resistant (which is typically blue) and fire retardant. Very Smooth, No Splinters Denser and Stronger than Particle Board Composed of Small Wood Fibers So There is No Wood Grain
MDF is Dense, Making it Heavy Can Dull Blades Quickly Plywood is an engineered wood product made up of sheets of wood veneer. The wood veneer boards are pressed and bonded together to create one solid piece. This manufacturing process is called cross-graining and it reduces shrinkage and expansion while improving panel strength consistency. Different grades of plywood are used for different purposes. Plywood grades are affected by many variables including the type of wood ply, thickness, adhesive, and manufacturing/compaction process. Lower grades are perfect for subflooring in buildings and homes. High grades can be used for cabinets and shelving. There are many types of plywood to choose from. Make sure to choose the correct plywood type for the furniture or fixture you are building. Softwood - Grooved Flooring Hardwood - Heavy Duty Flooring or Wall Structures Tropical - Soft, Low Cost Wood Decorative - Easy to Dye and Draw On Marine - Used for Docks and Boats
Flexible - Used for Curved Wooden Parts Aircraft - High Strength, Resists Heat & Humidity Comes in Different Thicknesses Different Wood Species Available Less Susceptible to Water Damage Possible to Purchase with Low or No VOCs. Have to Finish Edges Because Layers Show Particle Board, MDF & Plywood Grades The primary differences between grades are the number of knot holes and voids. The amount of defects and work to repair them determines the grade. The type or grade of adhesive also has a part in grading. One of the best ways to find out about the grade is to look for a stamp that says "APA The Engineered Wood Association." This stamp will give you an A, B, C, or D grade based on the intended use of the panel. Minor, but not frequent burls, pin knots, and inconspicuous small patches. Burls, slight color streaks, pin knots, and inconspicuous small patches in limited amounts. Smooth patches, sound knots, and discoloration or varying color.
Defects downgrade these good or premium panels to factory seconds. Dealer-applied designation meaning "Good 1 Side" used primarily for foreign-origin plywood of 1/4" thickness; face can be good to premium, back with large defects or of another hardwood species. So What's The Best Wood Solution? It really comes down to what you are building and the conditions the material will be used in. When building cabinets you can use any three of these wood composites. Most people will go with plywood for the cabinet frame because it holds screws well and takes paint and stain well. The plywood's multiple wood layers make the cabinets lightweight, yet strong and durable. But on the other hand, a shelving unit could be built with MDF to save money. As you can see, you can use any type of manufactured wood for many projects, but keep weight, material strength, clean cutting, and possible water damage in mind.
