Movable walls and folding partitions that divide a space on demand and open it back up — training rooms, multipurpose rooms, event spaces, and flexible floors.
From a single sit-stand desk to a fully integrated private office, the desk is personal infrastructure. We specify height-adjustable bases, executive casegoods, and reception stations — chosen as the best product for the job, not the cheapest base on the marketplace.
Questions, answered.
About Operable & Moveable Partitions
Operable partitions vs. demountable walls?
Operable partitions are made to move often — open and close daily on a track. Demountable walls are semi-permanent and reconfigure occasionally. Different jobs, and we spec to how often the space changes.
How acoustic are operable walls?
Good systems carry real STC ratings so a divided room actually stays private. We spec the rating to the use — a training breakout needs more than a flexible event hall.
Where do the panels go when open?
They stack into a pocket or along a wall. We plan the stacking and storage into the layout so the open room stays clean.
Working with Applied Ergonomics
What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
