Design Tips
Since Skyfold
® Classic™ is a modular system, the information below provides:
a) A quick reference when determining space requirements for your Skyfold
® Classic™ needs;
b) The parameters that will enable you to utilize Skyfold
® Classic™ in the most cost-effective way.
Example 1:
An 8’-8” (2645 mm) finished ceiling height is required. If the customer can drop to a height
of 8’-7” (2615 mm), a row of panels is eliminated, thus reducing the cost of the wall.
The minimum wall length that can be manufactured without modifying Skyfold
® Classic™ is
10’-0” (3050 mm). There are no restrictions on maximum length. Below are the panel length restrictions
for our ceiling heights:
Walls up to 24’-2” (7365mm) high – maximum 12’-0” (3660mm) long panels
Walls up to 30’-0” (9145mm) high – maximum 10’-0” (3050mm) long panels
Walls up to 36’-0” (11000mm) high – maximum 8’-0” (2440mm) long panels
It is more economical for the customer if the wall lengths stay within the above noted increments, without going over.
Example 2: (for walls up to 24’-0” high)
24’ (7315 mm) long wall instead of 25’ (7620 mm) = 2 panels on the length instead of 3.
60’ (18,290 mm) long wall instead of 61’ (18,595 mm) = 5 panels on the length instead of 6.
Skyfold
® Classic™ can be modified to accommodate a maximum 30’-0” (9145mm) ceiling height, however,
this system uses panels that are a maximum of 10’-0” (3050mm) long.
>> Incorporating these guidelines will result in substantial savings for the customer.
Two types of systems available
COMPACT DRIVE SYSTEM — This is our standard drive system
For ease of design, installation, and maintenance, the motor assembly mounts directly above the wall.
Micro Drive System
When space is an issue, this system may be best suited for your needs. By using larger panels, a maximum ceiling height of 9’-0”
can be achieved with only 4 panels on the height of the wall. The motor assembly mounts directly above the wall.
The following represent the parameters for this system:
- Minimum wall length: 11’-10” (3605 mm)
- Maximum wall length: 36’-0” (10,975 mm)
- Maximum ceiling height: 9’-0” (2740 mm)
