FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC DESIGN. —
A room is characterised primarily by its visual appearance. As a result, a room partitioning system should also blend in har-moniously with its given surroundings. With an almost infi nite choice of designs and colours to cater for the most sophisti-cated design and layout requests, DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex fulfi ls this require-ment admirably.
Comprehensively translating creative and artistic ideas into reality, the Varifl ex system counters the most intricate aesthetic needs with a multitude of design
options. The high-quality materials and their visual effects are unsurpassed.
When it comes to the de-sign-oriented confi guration of today’s living areas, it is no wonder that DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex has a role to play in all planning con-siderations. But that’s not all. The standard of crafts-manship embodied in DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex systems is also second to none. This applies to the widest array of materials, from hardwood veneers through fabric coverings to laminated surfaces. Only this close attention

to detail can guarantee the desired visual appearance for many years to come.
The use of exquisite mate-rials and various material combinations can be par-ticularly appealing. Wood and glass, wood and metal, for example, wood and stainless steel, and even different woods can all be combined, thus offering an abundance of attractive design options with a visual effect that is both striking and immediate.

GREATER FLEXIBILITY AND CONVENIENCE – AUTOMATICALLY. —
Varifl ex offers the option of semi-automatic operation to allow rooms to be adapted quickly and easily. This alternative is tried and tested solutions for every-day use: this is extremely economical to operate,
. Electronically controlled sealing strip operation; the partitioning is moved manually; time and energy savings are made by eliminating crankwork
. the precise contact pres-sure of the sealing strips is assured at all times
. Generally enhanced user convenience and safety of operation
thus reducing costs, and also enjoy proven functional reliability as an important complementary aid to today’s modern conference technology.
. Unlimited layout confi gu-rations; stacking and parking as for the manual system
. Floor-mounted guides and special track rails are not required
. Door and window elements can be fi tted

LEADING THE FIELD IN SOUND INSULATION.—
As well as having the func-tion of visually subdividing areas, movable partition walls also have the role in many applications of fi ltering acoustic signals in order to prevent noise disturbing the users of the other rooms. Room partitioning with reliable acoustic insulation properties is a must, particularly when events run concurrently.
The outstanding craftsman-ship of the DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex system ensures unsurpassed sound insula-tion without compromising ease of use.
The sound insulation values of DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex are constantly being tested and confi rmed by interna-tionally recognised testing authorities; both a challenge and an incentive to achieve even better results through new developments. As freely oscillating elements, the clip-on fascia boards block the transmission of structure-borne noise, thus ensuring extremely high sound insulation values.
The fascias can be replaced at any time should this be required due to damage or to match new décor. Special acoustic panels manufactured with slits or holes encourage sound absorption and reduce reverberation. These advantages, coupled with the high quality standards and the optical effect of DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex, greatly enhance user com-fort and offer incomparable benefi ts for areas used for musical events and larger conferences.
In order to ensure maximum levels of sound insulation in respect of a project, we recommend contacting DORMA Hüppe during the planning phase so that any acoustic issues such as noise paths or the use of a step noise reducing joint in the fl ooring can be discussed.

FIRE PREVENTIONVARIFLEX

FIRE PREVENTION PRECAUTIONS OFFER TOTAL SECURITY—
Catastrophic and devastat-ing fi res feature again and again on news bulletins from around the world. In many instances, the buildings concerned have lacked adequate fi re prevention measures. Fire safety is of paramount importance for protecting human life: second-rate solutions are simply not an
option. Fire prevention and protection must be guaran-teed, above all in public areas that are in constant use. Safeguarding human life must be the top priority at all times.
DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex offers intelligent solutions that are specifi cally adapted to meet preventative fi re

safety requirements and afford better conditions for dealing effectively with hazardous situation.

INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY, SYSTEMATICALLY CONCEIVED.—It is its refi ned technology that makes the Varifl ex such a special sound-insulating partition. Its success resides in a multitude of smart details that have been cleverly combined to create an effective whole. Various element types cater for widely differing applications, and the track system is so adaptable
that a Varifl ex partition can be designed into even a small space. Wherever installed, the DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex will always deliver the impressive acoustic performance inherent in the sophisticated makeup of its elements. Compelling technology of systematic splendor.

THE SUM OF THE ADVANTAGES IN DETAIL. —
TECHNOLOGY ELEMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
1 Horizontal sealsThe principle of double-skin construction is applied consistently in the seal area in order to ensure maximum sound insulation. A spindle mechanism presses extendable, spring-loaded, double seals against the fl oor and the ceiling track. Any irregularities in the fl ooring are offset by spring-loaded double-chamber seals. The contact force of the sealing strips does not place excessive strain on screed fl oors, but does ensure that the Varifl ex system is suffi ciently stable to prevent the panels moving, even in the event of an attempted forced entry.
2 Corner seals Varifl ex resolves the tech-nical issue of corner seals with specially designed, corner pieces that also reinforce the stability and sound insulation properties of the system.
3 Vertical sealsAll Varifl ex models have fl exible, vertical sealing strips to ensure the best possible seal for maximum sound insulation. The strips extend some distance into the panels to ensure positive interlock.
4 Magnetic stripThe individual panels are centred via the magnetic strips to guarantee sound positive locking and sealing.
23DORMA
TEF is synonymous with technical perfection that is unmatched by any other manufacturer. TEF describes the fl ush edge connection of the last wall panel that serves to form an area of visual harmony for an outstanding architectural solution.
5 Cover boardsThe cover boards are clipped on as freely oscillating panels to ensure optimum sound insulation with minimum system weight. The cover board can be replaced without removing the panels. Their surfaces can be coated or covered with any conventional interior design material.
6 Sound insulation materialThe various Varifl ex models can be fi tted with additional insulation materials accord-ing to sound insulation requirements.
7 Operating handle In manual systems, the element sealing strips are operated using a crank. The crank has as a captive bayonet fi tting to prevent it from being pulled off. The bayonet arrangement is easy to disengage and prevents crank slippage.
8 FramesThe frame is made from torsionally stiff aluminium hollow-chamber profi les and sectional steel tubing. Transverse forces will not, therefore, cause deformation of the frame. Combined with the panel mounted in acoustically free suspension, Varifl ex elements are able to offer both exceptional strength and outstanding sound insulation.
9 Roller assembliesThe dampening track roller assemblies prevent the transmission of impact forces and operating noise, so protecting the element, rail and carrier.

AN UNLIMITED CHOICE OF SURFACE FINISHES. —
27DORMA
One of the factors which characterises modern interior design is intelligent space partitioning to create an architectural “choreography” of light and shadow. The partition walls are a signifi -cant part of the whole and, with striking surface con-trasts, can play a role in an effective overall presentation.
DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex further enhances the aesthetic appearance with superior-quality surface fi nishes. A wide array of materials can be marshalled to create quite stunning visual effects. Materials to choose from include real wood veneers that can be ebonised, waxed, brushed
or lime-washed. There are laminates and metallic fi nishes, granite fabric coverings and stainless steel inserts; acoustic, sheet steel and fi breglass surfaces; glass inserts, mirrors and textile cover-ings. And many more options besides. Whatever the requirement, we have
the surface fi nish to match. DORMA Hüppe Varifl ex offers the best solution every time.
