NEP relocated to the RBC Gateway Tower to provide a vibrant, upscale atmosphere for their employees and clients.


They needed to be able to divide their conference room for events of various sizes. Skyfold Zenith Premium 60 was the ideal choice for ease of operation and the highest STC rating (60!) in the industry.

As always, we enjoyed working with Nelson Worldwide (Minneapolis) and Gardner Builders and appreciate the trust they put in us by selecting Skyfold.


Due to it's compact stacking profile, the Skyfold Zenith Premium was able to fit easily overhead. This eliminates the need to take up floor space with a storage pocket that a conventional, side acting wall might require.


Let us know if we can show you how to integrate Skyfold into your next project!

  • Achieves an industry-leading STC rating of STC 60, delivering exceptional sound insulation.
  • It does away with the necessity for floor or wall tracks, resulting in a clean and unobstructed appearance.

Operable walls have transformed from functional dividers into aesthetic enhancers of the built environment. On this recent project, we helped the architect balance the need for space flexibility with the desire for the look of a more "permanent" solution. Glass panels with false muntins offer the best of both worlds— the look of a fixed demountable system with the flexibility of operable wall systems.

Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex. The existing skylights were extremely leaky, aesthetically unappealing, had poor opacity, and failed to meet current-day structural requirements. They allowed minimal natural light to enter the space, provided little comfort or functionality, and were energy inefficient.
