Rearrange a Floor Plan with Monarch Movable Walls

Use Movable Walls to Modify Your Floor Plan According to Need

The space requirements of any house can vary from time to time. This happens when your son grows and requires more space and also when you hold a special party and need more space in your dining room.  Traditional walls cannot accommodate such requirements and this has resulted in the new concept of moving walls in homes, especially in those with limited spaces.  The advances in the tracking technology have enabled easy movement and relocation of walls in houses. This helps you to modify your floor plan according to special occasions and needs.

Sliding walls systems are a boon to readjust small spaces.  Using these wall systems you can open up your rooms, much more than you can do with the help of traditional swinging doors, which take up space from the rooms.  The latest technology enables easy movement of panels weighing even up to 300 pounds, which can provide ample flexibility in modifying the floor plan of the house.

Modern day moving wall partitions consists of sliding panels made of glass, metal, wood and even fabric. Glass panels can be used in lofts to create open visual space. You can also use glass moving wall systems between kitchen and living space instead of a traditional wall or open space which restricts visibility.  When you are entertaining several people at your house these walls can be moved away to create additional space.

In modern houses, where the theme is to have large and open floor plan, sliding walls becomes an essential aspect.  Sliding walls can be a multi-purpose alternative to normal fixed walls even in basements, where these can be adjusted to free spaces for requirements such as parties.  In case you have a home office, sliding wall partitions can help you to create private and public spaces in your house according to need.

Adopting modern technology in tracking and moving systems of sliding walls have removed the problems with the earlier versions which sometimes jumped tracks or got stuck. Modern tracking systems help you to effortlessly move and relocate these walls. Some of these systems can handle walls weighing upto 300 pounds and with a width up to 48 inches.  This system can also be mounted with tracks of nearly 16 feet and hold four side-by-side panels.

The concept of moving wall partitions has become a part of modern house design to ensure maximum utilization of available space.

Pool House Design with Movable Glass Walls

How to use Monarch Glass Wall for Interior Spaces

We are all familiar with use of Glass Walls for exterior spaces as most modern buildings extensively use them.  Monarch Glass walls are excellent for use in the interior spaces also especially for swimming pool area and for replacing conventional walls in between rooms.

Using Glass Walls for Swimming Pool Area

Glass walls can replace the glass door towards the swimming pool area.  Glass doors have the restrictions of space and you can only view a small part of the pool through it.  Since glass doors are limited in size, it hinders movement of people, especially when you have many people visiting the pool. Doors are also a hindrance when you carry various things to the pool.  Installing Monarch glass walls will free you from space restrictions for movement of people and things.  You can also view the whole pool if you have movable glass walls and this is convenient when you have children playing at the pool. Unlike sliding doors, glass walls provide a view of the entire area making it much safer for your family.

Using Glass Walls for other Rooms

Glass walls also can be used to divide interior spaces and also to connect various rooms.  This is especially a boon when you are not in favor of having a wall in between certain rooms.  For example, many people feel that there is no need for a wall between dining space and the kitchen.  You have an option to have no walls between these rooms, but this would create an unnecessary merger of these separate areas.  If you install Monarch Glass Walls between the dining room and kitchen, you can easily open up and join both rooms whenever you need.  When you have more people joining you for dinner you will have more space when you move these walls.  You can also join the conversation while doing the cooking. You also have the option to close the wall and make the dining room separate when you do not need to use it.  This is convenient when you are cooking the meals and having dinner only with your family.  Conventional Walls with glass or other type of doors cannot offer you all these conveniences.

            

In addition to these two places, Monarch Glass Walls also provides glass solutions for various other purposes in the interior and exterior spaces in the house.

Evolution of Sliding Glass Walls

Pool House Glass Wall Design

Traditional walls can make a room seem confining and small. There seemed to be no alternative to the solid wall until now. Monarch Moveable Glass Walls has come to the rescue. Long gone are the stuffy and  limiting walls. Behold, the innovative full glass sliding system. Finally a breakthrough that will change they way we look at our working and living spaces.

The beauty of this system is the individually sliding glass panels without the vertical frames. This allows the eye to view the surroundings without the impediment of a frame. Personally, I feel that the frames makes the space seem to look more industrial. Out of date framing is a reminder of the structure and not of the beauty of the view. Without the frame there is a flow to the space. It gives the space a larger and cleaner look.

I think that Monarch Moveable Glass Walls  should be commended for designing a system which meets the requirements of modern, lightweight and transparent architecture. It is always a challenge to make smaller spaces appear larger.  This system could give even the smallest of floor plans that open and airy feel.

I believe that the feature that people will appreciate most is that it is both easy and fast to assemble and install. This system is unique in that its flat bottom rail solution and the absence of a threshold would allow easy access to a terrace.

Previously the use of glass in the construction of buildings was limited.  It is becoming a  more widely used core structural and design element in many homes and businesses. The use of glass allows natural lighting and also brings in the natural indoor/outdoor flow. This not only brings in tranquility but adds value to your home or business.

Modern day architecture trends has elevated the way in which we think of using glass. It is now not thought of just for windows and sliding doors but it is now used as a major design component in its own right.
