Partition Doors

Panels that slide on tracks that can divide larger rooms into smaller areas. When not needed they can be rolled into pockets leaving unobstructed large open areas.

Here we are looking at part of a large hall type of room. On the wall we can see a pair of white double doors.

As you can see they look like doors, are probably made by a door manufacturer, and no doubt they run on standard sliding door track, but they are in fact panels that are tucked away, two abreast in a purpose made pocket., or docking bay.

Here we can see a partition in place. The panels are not attached to each other but when they are rolled out along the track they just butt up to each other to form a fairly decent temporary partition wall. Because the panels are not attached to each other they can easily be slid into position quite quickly by one person.
