Modernfold Innovation Pairs ComfortDrive® Self-Driving Space Division System With 51 STC and Enhanced Privacy Acousti-Clear® Panels

GREENFIELD, Ind., March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New technology integration from space division pioneer Modernfold combines the ComfortDrive® Self-Driving Panel System with outstanding sound control and privacy enhancements available exclusively with its Acousti-Clear® Panels.

The result: a dynamic ability to quickly and effortlessly configure and reconfigure room spaces on command, using specialized panels that incorporate sound control capabilities up to 51 STC plus superior privacy features. Deployed in integrated installations, the smooth-tracking, programmable Comfort Drive® and versatile Acousti-Clear® technologies save time, effort and money while meeting users' custom needs for safety, space division, selected visibility and security with utmost quiet.

Multiple selections within the Acousti-Clear® system contribute to unique flexibility, responsiveness and visual impact in automated spaces that are created with ComfortDrive. Among these remarkable features:

• MorphGlas™, a spectacular liquid-crystal-based option, converts transparent Acousti-Clear® panels to opaque mode at the touch of a button for instant privacy. MorphGlas™ technology provides an extraordinary compliment to the most contemporary designs.
• Alternatively, the panels can be equipped with motorized privacy shades or Venetian blinds that close quickly and completely to deliver their own enhanced space separation.
• The panels are available in an array of exceptionally durable, visually striking powder-coating color options.
• Hands-free movement maximizes convenience, flexibility and ease of use as users create a wide range of working environments.

Along with these selections, the acoustical control delivered by 51 STC Acousti-Clear® panels means that spaces defined by ComfortDrive settings are secure and quiet. The panels ensure that conversation and communication inside such spaces remain private.

"ComfortDrive® is a versatile, premium solution for high-end architectural settings," said Modernfold Managing Director Bryan Welch. "Automation is the future of movable wall technology, already making itself felt in many applications. With the integrated options that Acousti-Clear® provides, architects and designers can enable arrangements defined by utility, flexibility and dazzling visual effects that track with the identity of any contemporary organization."
