Once deployed the panels are sealed firmly together and against the floor and ceiling to ensure complete rigidity of the partition wall and the effective acoustic attenuation.
On straight runs the panels are sealed together by applying lateral compression through an end-expander mechanism built into the last panel (see E).
On curved runs the panels can be horizontally interlocked to hold them rigid together (see H).
In both cases the panels are sealed against the floor and ceiling by cranking down each panel's retractable base seal (see V).
A removable cranking handle is supplied to operate these mechanisms.
