Quick project answer
A tender package for a movable partition must show where panels will be parked when the room is open. The drawings that show a movable solid partition stacking pocket are the coordinated plan, reflected ceiling plan, elevation and detail sheets that together define the parking zone. Each sheet carries a different part of the same story, and the tender review depends on reading them as one set.
Why the stacking pocket appears across several drawing types
A single sheet rarely carries all the information a tender reviewer needs. The architectural plan shows the room outline and the parking zone. The reflected ceiling plan shows the overhead path that the top-hung system follows. Elevations show the height relationship between the parked panels and the surrounding construction.
Detail sheets then enlarge the pocket, the track route and the junction between the partition line and the parking area. When these sheets agree, the movable solid partition stacking pocket is described consistently. When they disagree, the tender reviewer has to raise a query before pricing or approval.
The top-hung principle and what it means for drawings
The EBUNGE movable partition system is top-hung. That single fact shapes every drawing that shows a movable solid partition stacking pocket. The panels hang from an overhead track, so the parking zone is planned in relation to the ceiling path rather than a floor guide.
Because the system is top-hung, there is no continuous floor running track or operating hardware in the finished floor along the partition line. The floor is not cut or damaged for a floor track. It remains physically uninterrupted by the maintained EBUNGE top-hung system.
For tender drawings, this means the parking pocket is shown as a zone below the overhead route. The plan view marks the pocket footprint. The reflected ceiling plan marks the track path that serves it. The two views must be read together to understand the movable solid partition stacking pocket.
Reading the physically uninterrupted floor on tender sheets
On a tender drawing, the floor along the partition line should read as a continuous finish. There is no trench, no embedded channel and no floor-mounted operating hardware to schedule. This is a direct consequence of the top-hung arrangement.
Reviewers should check that the floor finish notation runs through the partition line without a break. If a drawing shows a floor cut or a floor track, it does not match the confirmed top-hung principle. The physically uninterrupted floor is a useful check when validating a movable solid partition stacking pocket drawing set.
The exact route, junction arrangement, continuous overhead path and parking position must be confirmed from the coordinated project drawings.
Parking planning and the stacking pocket layout
Panel parking style can be customized to the customer layout and project requirements, subject to coordinated drawings. This flexibility is why the stacking pocket is a project-specific drawing item rather than a fixed catalogue shape.
A suitable approved parking arrangement can use the stacking area more compactly and coordinate with the space design. The exact track, support and panel layout still require project drawings. Tender reviewers should look for a pocket that matches the approved parking arrangement and the room geometry shown on plan.
Useful drawing checks for a movable solid partition stacking pocket include:
- Plan view showing the pocket footprint and its relationship to the room boundary.
- Reflected ceiling plan showing the overhead path that serves the parking zone.
- Elevation showing the height relationship between parked panels and adjacent construction.
- Detail sheet enlarging the pocket and the junction between the partition line and the parking area.
- Drawing notes confirming that the floor along the partition line remains uninterrupted.
Finish and care coordination in the tender set
Finish materials can be customized, and cleaning and maintenance methods vary with the selected finish. Tender drawings should therefore identify the finish direction for the panels and note that care methods follow the chosen finish.
The stacking pocket drawing does not need to prescribe a cleaning routine. It needs to show that the pocket geometry and the selected finish can be coordinated. Reviewers can then confirm that the finish schedule and the movable solid partition stacking pocket drawing refer to the same panel faces.
Where the finish selection is still open at tender stage, the drawing can carry a placeholder note. The final finish and its care method are confirmed later, in line with the selected material.
Non-limiting applications that shape the drawing brief
Movable partitions can be used wherever flexible space division, combination or reconfiguration is required. Application examples are not limiting. EBUNGE has completed many types of hotel-related movable-partition projects; ballrooms, wedding halls and multifunction halls are non-limiting examples.
No customer names, locations, quantities, ratings, certifications or outcomes may be inferred from those examples. For tender purposes, the application type only helps the design team describe how the movable solid partition stacking pocket will be used and how often the space may be reconfigured.
The suitability of each route and parking arrangement depends on the approved layout, circulation, ceiling interfaces and operating sequence. A hall that opens into one large volume may need a different pocket arrangement from a room that divides into smaller meeting areas. The drawing set should reflect the intended use without assuming a universal layout.
Buyer inputs that make the pocket drawings usable
A tender drawing is only as good as the inputs behind it. Buyers can help by providing clear room plans, the intended reconfiguration pattern and the preferred parking location. These inputs let the drawing team place the movable solid partition stacking pocket accurately.
Buyers should also confirm the finish direction early enough for the finish schedule to align with the pocket drawing. Where the finish is not yet fixed, a placeholder keeps the drawing set coherent while the selection is completed.
The following inputs are commonly requested before a pocket drawing can be finalised:
- Architectural plan showing the room boundary and adjacent spaces.
- Reflected ceiling plan showing the available overhead path.
- Intended reconfiguration pattern and preferred parking zone.
- Finish direction or a placeholder note for later confirmation.
- Any project-specific coordination notes from the design team.
Drawing approvals and the tender review sequence
Approval is a coordinated exercise. The plan, reflected ceiling plan, elevation and detail sheets should be checked together so the movable solid partition stacking pocket is described consistently. A query on one sheet often resolves on another.
Reviewers should confirm that the overhead path shown on the reflected ceiling plan reaches the pocket shown on plan. They should also confirm that the floor notation along the partition line remains continuous. These two checks catch most mismatches early.
The exact route, junction arrangement, continuous overhead path and parking position must be confirmed from the coordinated project drawings.
Once the coordinated set is agreed, the tender package can describe the movable solid partition stacking pocket with confidence. The drawing set becomes the reference for later stages without prescribing a universal installation sequence.
Frequently asked questions
Which drawing types normally show a movable solid partition stacking pocket?
The coordinated plan, reflected ceiling plan, elevation and detail sheets normally show the pocket. Each sheet carries part of the information, and the tender review depends on reading them together as one set.
Does the top-hung system need a floor track in the stacking pocket?
No. The EBUNGE movable partition system is top-hung and has no continuous floor running track or operating hardware in the finished floor along the partition line. The floor remains physically uninterrupted by the maintained system.
Can the parking style be changed to suit the project layout?
Panel parking style can be customized to the customer layout and project requirements, subject to coordinated drawings. A suitable approved parking arrangement can use the stacking area more compactly and coordinate with the space design.
How is the finish coordinated with the stacking pocket drawing?
Finish materials can be customized, and cleaning and maintenance methods vary with the selected finish. The drawing should identify the finish direction or carry a placeholder so the finish schedule and the pocket drawing stay aligned.
Are hotel ballrooms the only application for these partitions?
No. Movable partitions can be used wherever flexible space division, combination or reconfiguration is required. EBUNGE has completed many types of hotel-related movable-partition projects, and ballrooms, wedding halls and multifunction halls are non-limiting examples.
What should a tender reviewer check first on the pocket drawings?
Reviewers should confirm that the overhead path shown on the reflected ceiling plan reaches the pocket shown on plan, and that the floor notation along the partition line remains continuous. These checks catch most mismatches early.
For related system context, see the operable wall system page and the projects page. The exact route, junction arrangement, continuous overhead path and parking position must be confirmed from the coordinated project drawings.
