5 Ways Modernfold Outperforms Telescoping Glass Walls

Modernfold is proud to introduce the PureView® Continuously Hinged Glass Operable Wall: a smarter, more refined alternative to traditional telescoping glass wall systems.

1. Smaller Footprint
Traditional telescoping systems rely on multiple overhead tracks. As panels deploy, they disengage and unstack from one another, requiring several active track paths. This results in offset lead and trail panels and a larger overall footprint to accommodate both the panels and track complexity.

PureView simplifies everything with a single-track system. Panels glide smoothly in a straight line with minimal force, eliminating the need for multi-track coordination. Thanks to its sophisticated hinge design, PureView can also span wider openings. Today, PureView can span 6 panels long, if side stacking, or 10 panels long, if center stacking. Filling larger openings with a significantly smaller overhead footprint just became a great deal easier.

2. Superior Acoustics
PureView sets a new benchmark for single-pane glass wall acoustics, offering ratings up to 37 STC, with additional options at 35 and 33 STC in framed panels. Even the unframed option delivers a respectable 15 STC.

Unlike telescoping systems which often lack effective acoustic sealing, PureView’s continuously hinged design enables tighter seals and more consistent panel alignment, resulting in noticeably better sound control.

3. Design Flexibility
The PureView Continuously Hinged offering is nested within the PureView family. The full portfolio includes single panel, paired panel, and continuously hinged configurations, available in both framed and unframed options to meet varying acoustic and design goals.

The full product line can also be customized including:

• Multiple anodized finishes (Clear, Dark Bronze, Black, Satin Stainless)
• RAL powder coat options
• Multitude of glass types

PureView Continuously Hinged also brings new egress options to the table. The system can easily accommodate egress with pivot panels and even the option for automatic door closers.

PureView provides designers with the ability to select from center - or side - stacking panel configurations. These options reduce the depth of the stack into the room compared to traditional telescoping systems.

4. Effortless Operation
PureView is engineered with the end user in mind. Powered by Modernfold’s patented suspension system, panels move smoothly and intuitively with minimal effort. The absence of a floor track enhances aesthetics, eliminates tripping hazards and maintenance issues caused by debris or obstructions, and eliminates the cost and risk of cutting into expensive flooring materials.

5. Installation Cost Efficiency
Today’s projects demand both modern design and cost control. PureView helps deliver on both. Its streamlined, top-hung installation eliminates the need for floor tracks, reducing installation time and labor costs. Fewer components and simpler installation translate directly into greater overall value. Interested in a quote? Talk to your local Modernfold Distribution partner today.
