V-Wall Movable Walls

What's In It For You

Product Story

Sometimes only a wall will do. But a permanent wall isn't always the best or most cost-effective solution. V-Wall Movable Walls combine the structural performance of constructed walls with the versatility and cost savings of a panel system—and they're the perfect solution whenever you need floor-to-ceiling privacy.

With more than 40 years of product development and history behind it, V-Wall offers the flexibility to work with any furniture in any environment.

Privacy Anywhere

V-Wall works in any environment, with any furniture. V-Wall's STC range of 33 to 39 (depending on configuration) provides the acoustical and visual privacy typically desired in an office space.

Among V-Wall options is the classic executive office with glass wall, creating a space that's visually open but provides auditory privacy. V-Wall's two-person office design is ideal for individual tasks or mini-conferencing.

Easy and Economical

A two-person crew can reconfigure walls with minimum disruption. Single-source supply simplifies coordination, reduces the presence of trades in the work area, and minimizes interruption in occupied workspaces.

V-Wall can be installed directly over carpeting, reducing waste and labor costs. Complete product expertise and assistance is available through Herman Miller's national distribution network, and/or the five Regional Wall Service Centers.

Design Options

V-Wall is available in a variety of vinyls, fabrics, veneers and glazes. 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 feet, and widths of 24 to 30 inches. Custom widths and heights to 12 feet are also available. V-Wall offers panel and component integration with Action Office Series 1 & 2, 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.

Earth-Friendly

Unlike drywall, V-Wall is up to 99% reusable, making it the environmentally friendly alternative.

V-Wall is also Class A-rated for fire safety.

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 teamed up with Vaughan Walls to develop specialized hanging components and panels so that Vaughan's 700 series wall could support our Action Office System. Several of our designers, including Bill Stumpf and Tom Newhouse, worked with Vaughan Walls engineering vice president Dave Roblin to make functional and aesthetic improvements in the wall system. In 1982, we bought Vaughan Walls and moved it to Dallas, Texas.
Product enhancements—including furniture matching base trims, additional color options, additional cabling management capability, eight-wire four circuit electrical systems and a relocatable pre-glazed panel capability—continued throughout the 1990s.

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.
