Retractable Enclosures

Like our SoftWall Stationary Enclosures, Soper’s SoftWall Retractable Enclosures effectively contain and control processes that can contaminate the workplace environment.

    What is your order turnaround?

    The intricacy and size of the job requested will determine the length of time needed for approximate delivery. While times may vary, there are 3 levels of job categories that determine order turnaround time.

    Level 1: When ordering stock items, your order will take approximately 2 days to process before shipment.

    Level 2: For a standard (typical) curtain, one to two-day order entry, requiring at least one more day for drawing approval and an additional two weeks for manufacturing.

    Level 3: When working with a complex project or a custom design the order entry process will take 2-3 days, followed by 1-2 weeks for drawing approval and up to 3-5 weeks for manufacturing to be completed before shipping.

    Delivery times vary on geography and are approximate and installation time will vary upon application.

    Why Use SoftWall?

    You have an in-plant environmental problem – dust, fumes, noise, temperature, cross-contamination, odour, overspray, etc. You’ve considered hiring a contractor to build a traditional drywall, concrete block, or metal clad partition or enclosure. But, have you thought of installing a Soper’s SoftWall partition or enclosure? Consider the following advantages of a Soper’s SoftWall alternative to traditional rigid wall construction.

    Cost
    Traditional rigid wall construction can cost anywhere from $8 to $35 per square foot. Soper’s SoftWall systems cost a fraction of what it cost to build a traditional rigid wall, leaving extra money in the budget for other concerns. Don’t forget about low future modification costs, as well.

    Flexibility
    Traditional rigid wall construction is difficult to modify or move. Soper’s SoftWall partitions and enclosures can be easily disassembled and reinstalled or reconfigured elsewhere to accommodate new requirements.

    Installation
    Installing a rigid wall can be expensive, messy and time consuming. Soper’s SoftWall Partitions and Enclosures can be installed quickly with little or often no downtime, meaning minimal interruption to production. Plus, there is no mess and aggravation typically associated with rigid wall installs.

    Is your fabric flame retardant?

    Yes.

    When designing your custom solution, Soper’s can meet Class 1 ASTM E 84 or NFPA 701 flammability specifications and building code requirements by matching the right fabric to your application.

    Both Canada and the United States uphold strict codes and regulations that determine classifications of flame retardant fabrics. There are many testing methods and agencies that perform these tests including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It’s important to note that flame-retardant materials are not fire proof. Here are some material examples that are used in a few of our popular product lines:
