Bildspec Operable Walls recently performed testing on its suite of Double Glazed operable walls, with the aim of determining what acoustic rating could be achieved from its frames, seals, glass types / interlayer densities, and overall construction methods. This testing was carried out in May 2021 at CSIRO’s acoustic testing facilities in Clayton, Victoria. Testing was in accordance with AS1191.

Using the combined knowledge of Bildspec’s staff, which equates to over 100 years of operable wall experience, Bildspec has been able to achieve some very strong results at the CSIRO. Testing in accordance with AS1191 requires the wall to be opened and closed 10 times without intervention. This stringent form of testing means the wall will perform better in the real world, compared to competitor's walls. Through many tests and trials, Bildspec is now able to provide Series 100 walls that are rated to 42Rw, 45Rw, 47Rw and 48Rw in accordance to AS1191.

Bildspec has developed lighter panels with higher ratings, which results in panels that perform in the real world. The panels are not only lighter and easier to move, but highly competitive in the marketplace.
