Lifting Mechanisms
The internal skeleton of the Skyfold wall consists of a series of lifting mechanisms that are
made of structural grade aluminium and steel. For greater longevity and silent operation, all
mechanical pivot points are made of high strength steel bolts or pins on plastic bushings.
Aircraft-grade wire rope or cables, of the highest strength and quality, pass through the
mechanisms and fold and unfold the mechanisms as they wrap and unwrap on their
respective drums (see
Figure 2
).
Panels (All Models Except Mirage)
The panels are a composite construction with a heavy-gauge steel face sheet to resist
abuse. Your choice of finish was carefully applied to the panels. A removable protective
coating protects it from dirt and other debris (see
Figure 2
).
The protective coating must be removed two weeks after the date of shipment
at the latest. The panels must be stored in a dry, climate-controlled area.
Glass Panels (Mirage Only)
Skyfold Mirage walls have a single laminated glass composition, which consists of 3/16” (5
mm) annealed glass + 0.060” (1.5 mm) film + 3/16” (5 mm) annealed glass. Overall thickness:
approximately 7/16” (11.5 mm) (see
Figure 2
).
