  • Are Quantum Walling Systems fast to install?
    Yes, and significantly so. A two-man semi-skilled team can install the system in a third of the time it takes to install the drywall equivalent. Watch the video below for design module and panel timings from a recent installation.
  • Are Quantum Walling Systems fireproof and non-combustible?
    Those Q-Wall Systems designated with a 'P+' have been fire tested to EN 1363 and 1364 standards and contain only A1-A2 rated materials, a copy of the full tests are available upon request. Those Q-Wall Systems designated with 'P' are not fire rated but will perform to 30 minutes.
  • Can services be installed into Q-Wall panels?
    Conduits and wireways can be manufactured into the panel cores as an option, including socket and light switch cut-outs to client specifications and location.
  • Can the Quantum Walling System be adapted at site?
    DfMA promotes the planning of all eventualities before construction starts, however change does happen. Q-Wall System's allow lateral adjustment of an elevation through reconfiguration of panels or more subtle adjustment, catering for build tolerance, by upto 150mm. Q-Wall panels can be swapped out at any stage and replaced with alternative sizes, specification or service inclusion.
  • Are the Q-Wall Systems completely panelised?
    Yes, all our systems are designed via our parametric module configurators, such as openings and feature less walls, specifically for each project. These designs, based on client data, are then adapated for specific detailing, and formed into total elevation panel kits that are manufactured at our factory facilities and delivered to site with full installation instructions.
  • How does the MotionFrame Compression System work?
    The Modular Walling System uses two key components (the MotionFrame Compression System) to place the total elevation into bidirectional compression. Every base track mounted panel includes, at minimum, one leg to deliver vertical compression to the soffit, and elevations are finished at their exposed ends with typically three Spreader components to deliver horizontal compression. The combined forces ensure that the elevation is rigid and performs as a solid wall.
  • How are door and window openings formed?
    Openings can be formed as modular frames off site and delivered as fully formed panels ready for a simple and fast installation. Or, if preferred frames can be fabricated on site from standard studwork and laminated panels delivered to fit the fabricated frames.
  • What size are the base channels and head angles?
    All our current Modular Walling Systems are based on 50mm and 95mm Stud and U channel base track profiles.
  • How do Q-Wall Systems work at junctions?
    Each junction has a starter stud profile that the rebate of the abutting panel locates and slides into and fixed into position. Unlike standard drywall systems an additional stud is not required within the adjacent wall, the starter channel can be fixed directly to the adjacent panel. In some cases we will screw the board to the starter bar if we cannot apply compression at the opposing end of the wall
  • Is the Quantum Walling System a total dry fit solution?
    Subject to specification, yes. Setting out of all head, base and side-tracks require fixings and the method is no different to a traditional drywall process. Panel installation uses standard industry profile studs, but not in the same way as a drywall build. Yes, they offer rigidity and reinforce inter panel strength, but they are not required as a fixing point. The engineered laminates integral rebates and MotionFrame compression system ensure the individual panels remain in position and offer a flush front and back face for final finish. Junction details may require fixing subject to compression.
  • What loading capacity do Quantum Walling Systems have for accepting kitchen and bathroom units?
    Q-Wall panels can accept up to 58kg per fixing when using suitable fixings. However, as with any wall fixing into traditional systems, consideration should be made for cantilevered weight, screw centres and wall specification. Generally, kitchen and bathroom units can be fixed directly to the panel without the need for pattresses
  • Does MotionFrame offer a design service?
    Motion Frame will produce manufacturing and installation drawings from site surveys or to client’s drawings. We will offer design assistance and advice on the use of our systems
  • What kind of finishes are used with Q-Wall Systems?
    The Q-Wall 75P system requires a fill finish to the 3mm joint followed by a light rub down and is then ready for painting. Q-Wall 75P+ and 175P+ systems require filling of the 3mm joints and a skim finish for aesthetic purposes.
