scope:

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for coiling partitions, manually and/or electrically operated.

Coiling partitions are partitions with independent covers enclosing a dead-air space and separated by an internal mechanism operating laterally across the face of the opening to a coiled closed position.

Coiling partitions may be a sight barrier (noninsulated), or sound barrier (with sound liner), or both. Coiling partitions have fabric or metal panel covers which are joined to reflect a pantographic movement of the door surfaces when the door is either manually or electrically operated. This section does not include folding or operable walls and partitions whose rigid panels are individually moved or hinged along their vertical edges to fold in serpentine fashion.
