Two Product Categories, One Expert Team
NYC’s commercial environments demand flexibility. Whether you need operable walls that reconfigure a ballroom in minutes or demountable walls that adapt office layouts without construction, Moderco NYC delivers both from a single source. We represent four manufacturers across these two distinct product categories, giving architects and contractors access to the widest selection of partition wall solutions available in the New York market.
Solutions for Every Space Configuration Need
We serve NYC’s commercial sector with two complementary product categories for flexible space division.
Operable Walls
Movable partition walls that fold, slide, or retract on an overhead track to acoustically divide commercial spaces. Specified for hotel ballrooms, convention centers, corporate conference rooms, and multipurpose facilities that reconfigure daily. STC ratings from 43 to 61 across four manufacturers: Moderco, Airwall, PK-30, and Contract Wall Solutions.
Demountable Walls
Relocatable glass partition systems and modular wall systems assembled on-site from modular components. Specified for corporate offices, executive suites, technology floors, and co-working spaces where floor plans evolve between lease terms. Available from three manufacturers: Moderco, PK-30, and Contract Wall Solutions with over 130 finish options.
How NYC's Leading Facilities Use Partition Walls
A closer look at the sectors where our operable and demountable wall systems deliver the highest impact.
Corporate Offices
The modern NYC office demands both open collaboration and focused privacy. Demountable glass wall systems from Moderco, PK-30, and CWS create private offices and meeting rooms that can be relocated as teams grow or reorganize. For larger conference facilities, operable walls transform a single training room into multiple breakout spaces. The combination of both product categories gives facility managers complete control over how their floor plates perform without calling a general contractor.
Education
Schools across New York City face constant pressure to do more with existing square footage. Operable walls in gymnasiums create simultaneous PE sessions for different grades. Multipurpose rooms split for after-school programs while assemblies run in the adjacent space. In administrative buildings and faculty areas, demountable walls provide modular offices that reconfigure during summer breaks without the cost or disruption of traditional renovation.
Convention and Event Centers
Javits Center, hotel conference floors, and private event venues across Manhattan depend on rapid space transformation. Our operable wall systems handle openings up to 65 feet wide and ceiling heights exceeding 30 feet. Multiple acoustic panels on overhead track systems reconfigure a single exhibition hall into isolated event environments in under an hour. For permanent staff areas and back-of-house offices, demountable walls provide the same reconfigurability without impacting the main event floor.

Our partition wall systems are installed in hotels, offices, schools, and event venues across all five NYC boroughs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about partition wall solutions for commercial environments.
Operable walls are large movable panels that slide along overhead tracks to divide or open up spaces like ballrooms and conference rooms. They are designed for frequent, often daily reconfiguration. Demountable walls are semi-permanent partition systems that create offices, meeting rooms, and enclosed spaces. They can be disassembled and relocated but are not intended for daily movement.
Hotels, convention centers, and education facilities see the highest return from operable walls because these sectors require frequent space reconfiguration. A hotel ballroom that splits into three event spaces generates significantly more booking revenue than a single fixed room.
Yes. Demountable glass wall systems are specifically designed for open-plan office environments where you need to create private offices and meeting rooms without permanent construction. They maintain visual openness while providing acoustic privacy rated up to STC 52.
Absolutely. Many NYC commercial properties use operable walls in conference and event spaces while using demountable walls for office areas. We regularly coordinate dual-system installations and can manage both categories through a single project team.
