When you have great choices making a decision is difficult, it’s great when your project can have both! This project for Magento in Culver City utilized both the Moderco Crystal acoustic glass and the Signature 8500 Operable Partitions. The results were beautiful glazed glass panels at the entry and operable partitions with markerboards for an additional room when needed. This project was wonderfully designed by Wolcott Architecture | Interiors and our GC was HBC.

CRF completed installation of two Signature 8500 Operable Walls at the Bangor Aviation Readiness Center in Bangor, Maine in early 2015.
Tacoma Washington Marriott
Marriott’s Tacoma mid-rise hotel brings high-class style to this downtown’s core. Located adjacent to the Convention Center, a block away from the University of Washington’s branch campus and within walking distance of the Museum of Glass , Lemay America Car Museum and Tacoma Art Museum, this hotel will see a large variation of guest. As such high quality, flexible meeting and event space was a priority. The Banquet Room features two 85’w x 23’h Moderco 841 Signature Series systems with high STC ratings and curve & diverter track system for easy operation. In addition, two smaller 842 series, paired panel systems were used in smaller meeting rooms. NWAP’s team did a superb job completing this project.

Hotel Californian Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara has an amazing addition with this new four star resort Hotel Californian, beautifully designed by DesignArc and built by MATT Construction. L2 Specialties provided some amazing finishes and operable walls from Moderco to maximize the Ball Rooms and event spaces.
The Advanced Learning Library
The Advanced Learning Library is a state-of-the-art library located in Wichita, KS. The largest operable wall on this project is very unique in that the wall is Crystal glass on top with the bottom 36” being a solid Signature. This rare combination helps in achieving the 12’7” ceiling height requirement as well as a rare aesthetic touch. More importantly, the outstanding acoustical performance of the wall enables them to separate their sometimes-noisy lobby from their main library which requires absolute silence for readers or open the entire area up for large events. In addition, this wall allows for multiple configurations allowing or not allowing guest to use the stairs.

Spinologics Montreal
Spinologics, a Canadian company based in Montreal, is all about people. Founded by three orthopedic surgeons dedicated to improving people’s lives through the development of surgical tools and techniques, they brought this philosophy of people first with them when designing the interior of their corporate offices. Not a large area but one filled with dynamic activity, teamwork, visual interaction, and the need for acoustical privacy. A Crystal wall system from Moderco was the perfect solution. The Moderco distributor, Cometal, had to modify a confined existing space for the wall and a storage area. Portions of the existing permanent walls were demolished; a custom designed track system was designed & installed on a new structural support system & the permanent wall were acoustically insulated and painted, all with minimal disruption to Spinologics operations. The result is an extremely happy & satisfied customer. Projects do not have to be large to be of significance. The capabilities of our distribution are far more than just operable walls. The desire of both Moderco and Cometal in all projects is to have a satisfied customer. We believe we have succeeded.
