Paired Panels
Advanced Equipment's paired panel system moves two panels simultaneously, dramatically reducing setup time and labor requirements for large operable wall installations.
System Features
Every paired panel system is engineered to AEC's exacting standards for performance, longevity, and ease of use.
What Are Paired Panels?
Paired panels are a manual operable wall system in which panels are permanently hinged together in pairs. Rather than moving each panel individually, operators push or pull two panels at once — cutting the number of moves required to set up a room by half.
Built on Advanced Equipment's proven all-welded steel panel platform, paired panel systems deliver the same world-class acoustic performance and durability as any AEC operable wall — with the added operational efficiency ideal for convention centers, ballrooms, and high-traffic venues.
Why Choose Paired Panels?
The operational advantages make paired panels the preferred choice for busy venues.
Reduced Labor
Panels are always moved in hinged pairs, cutting the number of moves required to configure a room by half and reducing the staff needed to operate the system.
Three Panel Series
Choose from ALPHA, SIGMA, or GAMMA panel construction to match your project's performance requirements and budget — all built to AEC's exacting standards.
Fast Setup
Pre-paired panels move smoothly along the track and lock into position quickly — ideal for convention centers, ballrooms, and high-traffic venues that reconfigure frequently.
Panel Construction
Three distinct panel series — choose the right construction for your project's performance requirements and budget.
ALPHA®
The all-welded, all-steel construction with heavy steel (16 or 14 gauge) faces robotically fusion welded every 8 inches to perimeter frame members.
SIGMA®
The cost-effective version of our ALPHA series panels. All-welded steel construction with face sheet thickness ranging from 20 ga. to 16 ga.
GAMMA®
AEC's most cost-effective panel construction. Panel face sheets are gypsum board or particle board. Structural aluminum frame members are mechanically fastened.
