Flexibility, the possibility of instant transformation, versatility - all these are modern requirements for the interior. Non-standard, almost fantastic solutions are expected from designers and architects. Today, one movement of the hand is enough to transform a huge concert hall into a small cozy auditorium. 30 seconds, a slight effort - and everything around you changes beyond recognition.
Sliding partitions and walls allow you to transform any space - be it a country house living room, an office, a classroom or a giant conference room.
Foldin is a leading Russian manufacturer of soundproof sliding structures. Our own company is located in St. Petersburg, where the serial production of sliding walls and partitions "Norma" is carried out.
In addition, Foldin is the official dealer of the Parthos sliding wall factory in Holland.
Sliding structures "Norma" are:
- Sound insulation from 40 to 50 dB;
- Fire safety (class K0 and NG);
- Fastening only to the ceiling without damaging the floor covering and without agreement during redevelopment;
- Ease of use - folds and unfolds with one hand movement;
- A variety of design solutions and the ability to use any type of finish - from ordinary painting, upholstery with fabric or felt to mirror and glass surfaces or magnetic marker coating, which is in demand in educational institutions.
Sliding walls "Norma"
Sliding walls consist of individual panels that move freely along the ceiling track on silent roller hangers. Moreover, the trajectory of movement can be both straight and complex. This makes it possible to divide the space into several independent rooms, as well as choose the most convenient place for parking the panels.
The panels are made of two sheets of laminated chipboard, soundproofing material and aluminum profile. Seals extend from above and below from them, which provide reliable sound insulation and fixation.
Sliding partitions "Norma"
The partitions are made of panels connected by hinges. The outer panel serves as an entrance door. The entire structure is fixed to the ceiling and folds like an accordion in just 30 seconds. Even a fragile girl can easily cope with this task.
Partitions "Norma", as well as walls, provide excellent sound insulation. The height of the structures reaches 6 m, and the width of the opening is 15 m. The manufacturer offers two types of installation of partitions: either from wall to wall, or from walls to the center of the room - like a theater curtain.
Parthos sliding walls
Parthos sliding structures are manufactured using innovative technologies and allow you to solve the most complex problems - for example, to divide a room with a ceiling height of more than 10 m.

Designs "Norma" and Parthos are widely used for zoning conference rooms, offices, restaurants, dance halls, classrooms, exhibition galleries. Projects using Foldin products have been implemented in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and many other cities of Russia.
Irina Viner-Usmanova Rhythmic Gymnastics Center in Luzhniki
The Rhythmic Gymnastics Palace was opened in July 2019. This is the largest specialized gymnastics center in the world, which can accommodate about 4 thousand spectators.
The Norma sliding walls are installed in the western part of the VIP-hall on the top, fifth floor of the building. Three sliding walls with integrated parking divide the hall space into four boxes. Each has an excellent view of the sports arena. The design feature is a 20-meter silver ceiling track, along which all 14 panels that form the walls move freely. The panels have hidden profiles and can be painted in any color if desired.
Restaurant of the Park Inn by Radisson hotel in St. Petersburg
In the Park Inn by Radisson Pribaltiyskaya restaurant, Norma sliding walls divide the space into three rooms: two dining areas with buffet meals for 350 people and one small isolated room with separate tables. Such zoning of space opens up opportunities for multifunctional use of space. Moreover, visitors to one hall will not even guess that a business dinner or a banquet is taking place behind the wall, because the walls provide reliable sound insulation (50 dB).
For the zoning of the restaurant, 22 panels with a height of 3.3 m were used. The covering imitating a wooden surface is perfectly combined with the general design solution of the hall.
Kindergarten in New Moscow
The company "Foldin" by the decision of the Moscow Department is the official supplier of sliding structures for educational institutions in the region. Already at the design stage of kindergartens and schools in Moscow, the possibility of using Norma sliding structures is envisaged. The walls and partitions for educational institutions are made of non-combustible materials and have hygienic and environmental certificates.
A three-storey kindergarten in New Moscow is designed for 350 children. Inside there are 14 groups for kids of different ages. The bedroom in each group is separated from the main playroom by a sliding partition. During the day's sleep, the bedrooms are cozy and quiet, because the partition does not let in noise - the sound insulation level is 43 dB. And after the children wake up, the teacher in half a minute folds the partition and pushes the transforming beds, freeing up space for games.
The circle rooms are equipped with Norma sliding walls with double swing doors. The walls are covered with a magnetic marker coating for drawing and playing with magnets.
Exhibition Center "Kazan Expo"
The Kazan Expo International Exhibition Center includes a modern congress hall for 3 thousand seats and 35 transforming halls with a capacity of 30 to 500 people.
Parthos Palace 110SA sliding semi-automatic walls are installed in the huge congress hall located on the ground floor of the exhibition center. The height of the panels is 12 meters. A mobile wall divides the hall into two parts. When holding mass events with a large number of spectators, the wall remains folded. It unfolds if necessary to form a more compact concert hall.
The conference rooms on the 3rd floor have 35 sliding walls with a total area of more than 2 thousand square meters. This gives unlimited possibilities for transforming space. The premises are easily converted from large auditoriums for 200 people into small meeting rooms.
Congress Center Park Inn by Radisson
Park Inn by Radisson Pribaltiyskaya is located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland in Saint Petersburg.
Foldin installed four Parthos Palace 110 sliding walls at the hotel, thus creating 8 self-contained rooms. Conferences and business meetings are held there every day. One of the walls frames the stage of the congress hall and is made in the form of a spectacular semicircle. The panels are covered with ash, birch, oak and beech veneer.
This model of walls is equipped with a system of semi-automatic extension of seals into the floor and ceiling, an electronic lock, a monitoring and monitoring system, and voltage indication.
