Room Divider Case Studies — Real Savings for Real Institutions

Real numbers. Real institutions. Real savings. These documented examples show why institutional buyers choose Panel Systems Manufacturing over ceiling-suspended alternatives.

Local School System — Floor-Supported Dividers vs. Ceiling-Suspended Quote

Client Type
School District
Savings
The school paid approximately $7,000 — saving 50–75% compared to the $20,000+ ceiling-suspended alternative.

Challenge: The district needed to divide a large multi-purpose space but received a quote exceeding $20,000 for a ceiling-suspended partition system, including structural engineering and specialized installation crews.

Solution: Panel Systems Manufacturing provided a custom floor-supported sliding room divider system built to the room's exact dimensions, with complete installation instructions and direct phone support from the owner.

Outcome: The school received a fully functional divider system that met their space division needs without ceiling beams or structural modifications.

Kenosha Bible Church — Acoustic Comparison Test

Client Type
Church
Savings
Significant savings over ceiling-suspended alternatives while maintaining acoustic performance.

Challenge: The fellowship hall needed additional room dividers. Existing ceiling-suspended units were expensive, and the building committee wanted to verify that a more affordable floor-supported system could deliver comparable acoustic performance.

Solution: The church installed SA-1000 sliding room dividers from Panel Systems Manufacturing and conducted a direct acoustic comparison against their existing ceiling-suspended partitions in the same space.

Outcome: No appreciable acoustic difference was found between the systems. The church purchased four additional SA-1000 units at substantially lower cost, with floor tracks that remove in under two minutes.

The sound control is remarkable. Room-to-room noise transfer is minimal even with office doors open. The system was installed quickly and cleanly with minimal disruption to our daily operations.

We compared our new SA-1000 dividers to the expensive ceiling-suspended units already in our fellowship hall and found no appreciable acoustic difference. We purchased four additional units at substantially lower cost. The floor track removes in under two minutes when we need the full space open.
