Given the right care and attention, a movable wall will operate trouble-free for many years. However, if neglected, regular use over a long period of time may lead to movable wall panels becoming damaged. These panels are often heavy and each one contains an internal mechanical operating mechanism which, without regular servicing, may lead to more costly solutions being required such as panels and, in some cases the entire movable wall system, needing to be replaced.
Whilst many operable walls will function for a large number of years (often a few decades) it is imperative that, to preserve their life span for as long as possible, they are well looked after and serviced on a regular basis. Arranging a long-term service contract with an established movable wall provider is a great way to maintain the longevity of the product and, by extending the life of the existing wall, is a more cost effective solution than purchasing a brand new movable wall.
To ensure the system is operating at its peak performance, it is strongly recommended that movable walls are serviced between every 6 – 18 months depending on how frequently the system is used. Companies such as Variwall Partitions Limited also offer preventative service and maintenance contracts on a regular basis to suit specific requirements.
It should also be noted that there is a legal requirement, in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Management of Health & Safety Work Regulations 1999, that building managers and owners must ensure this type of building equipment is regularly inspected and maintained so that it can be operated safely and correctly by their personnel.
