Features and Benefits

  • V-Wall works in any environment, with any furniture requirement. A two-person crew can reconfigure walls with minimum disruption. Single-source supply simplifies coordination, reduces trades in the work area, and reduces interruption in occupied workspaces. V-Wall is available in a variety of vinyls, fabrics, veneers and glazing options. Herman Miller trims and finishes make coordination easy with all freestanding and office system solutions. Panel modules come in standard heights of 9' and 10', and widths of 24-30", but custom widths and heights to 12' are also available. V-Wall offers panel and component integration with Action Office Series 1 & 2, Prospects and Ethospace. V-Wall can be pre-wired with UL-labeled power or open boxes for field applications. Telecommunications and power can be distributed both vertically and horizontally, allowing walls to provide cabling to systems as required by project design. V-Wall can be installed directly over carpeting, reducing waste and labor costs. Unlike drywall, V-Wall is up to 99 percent reusable, making it the environmentally friendly alternative. V-Wall is Class A-rated for fire safety. V-Wall's STC range of 33-39 (depending on configuration) provides the acoustical and visual privacy typically desired. Complete product expertise and assistance is available through Herman Miller's national distribution network, and/or the five Regional Wall Service Centers.
Design Story

Wayne Vaughan established Vaughan Walls in the late 1950s in order to pursue his idea of developing a wall system that could be assembled and re-assembled using the then-new technology of gypsum wallboard. In time, Vaughan and his company created five basic wall systems with hundreds of variations and customizations for customers throughout the United States. By the 1970s Vaughan Walls was acknowledged as a leader among wall system manufacturers.

In 1981, Herman Miller and Vaughan Walls teamed up to develop specialized hanging components and systems panels for Vaughan's 700 series wall to make it support Herman Miller's Action Office System. Several familiar Herman Miller-affiliated designers including Bill Stumpf and Tom Newhouse played key roles in bringing functional and aesthetic improvements to the wall system, working with Dave Roblin, Vaughan Walls vice president of engineering. In 1982, Herman Miller bought the Vaughan Company and moved it to Dallas, Texas.

Herman Miller rolled Vaughan Walls into its mainstream product offerings in 1987. In 1993, Herman Miller established an alliance with Service Center Associates, Inc. to manage its V-Wall product lines. Product enhancements continued throughout the 1990s, including furniture matching base trims, additional color options, additional cabling management capability, eight-wire four circuit electrical systems and finally, a relocatable pre-glazed panel capability.

Today, with more than 40 years of product development and history behind it, the V-Wall system boasts the built-in adaptability necessary to function in any environment, regardless of your furniture requirement.
