What are movable walls?
As their name suggests, movable walls are floor to ceiling panels that can be adjusted to change the spatial arrangement of the room. They are sometimes referred to as operable walls, movable partition walls, demountable walls or sliding walls as well. The great thing about movable partitions is that you can transform a single space into a number of smaller spaces with minimal effort.
For example, you can divide the school hall into separate areas or split a large conference room into multiple meeting rooms. And the best thing is, when movable wall partitions aren’t required, they can be easily folded, moved or concealed – without taking up too much space.

Materials
Operation (i.e. sliding or folding)
Ceiling height
Complexity of installation
Door panels often cost more than standard flat panels, and taller panels, made from various materials, will be priced higher than those made from one consistent material.
In addition to the price of movable walls, you also need to factor in labour. Obviously, the more complex the installation, the higher this will be.
