1. NOT SKYFOLD
First, the Summit 640V is not Skyfold. We are a newly designed
system that provides similar benefits of vertical folding operable
walls.
Summit 640V is vertical stacking
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® is vertical folding
1. NOT SKYFOLD
Summit 640V sizing is optimized to 40’ x 17’ 3” openings
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® is is not limited by width and installed up to
36’ tall openings
Summit meets the sizing parameters of 86.5% of all projects
listed on Skyfold’s website.
2. Vertical Stacking
Summit 640V stacks above the ceiling
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® stacks in the ceiling
2. Vertical Stacking above vs. vertical folding within.

4. Single Piece Construction
Summit 640V offers single piece construction
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® multiple vertical seam construction
5. Fully Automated, patent-pending design
Summit 640V offers new single panel stacking technology
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® dated accordion-style folding
6. Standard operable partition construction
Summit 640V offers standard Hufcor welded steel panel
construction with skinned steel faces.
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® dated accordion-style folding
7. No Internal Moving Parts
Summit 640V offers standard steel skinned panels
without internal moving parts
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® dated accordion-style folding with
dozens of internal moving parts and motors
8. Acoustical Performance
Summit 640V offers 51 - 52 STC (current prototype tests)
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® offers 51 STC
Goal for Summit 640V: 52 – 54 STC

13. Standard designer finishes
Summit 640V offers standard finishes
(horizontal pattern only)
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® offer standard finishes, plus wood veneer,
stainless steel, HPL and others.
14. Structural Loads
Summit 640V requires static load overhead structure
calculations
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® requires static load overhead structure
calculations.
15. BIM Drawings
Summit 640V offers BIM drawings.
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® offers BIM drawings
15. BIM Drawings
o Easier to Design
o Conflict Detection & Resolutions
16. Seismic calculates
Summit 640V withstands seismic movements in Zone 4 and stamped
testing to be provided soon.
Vs.
Skyfold Classic® seismic performance not called out in their specifications
What Summit 640V cannot do.
Summit cannot be provided in larger opening sizes than listed.
Summit requires a minmum of 44” – 51” of clearance
underneath the structural support and ceiling height.
Summit cannot provide “T” conditions with another Summit
Summit cannot do stair stepped or sloped panels
What Summit 640V cannot do.
If, Summit cannot be provided in larger opening sizes than listed.
o Offer standard operable walls as alternative options
o Offer to build down a soffit to reduce ceiling height or
design with a column.
o Offer to design a system that does work.
What Summit 640V cannot do.
If, the design calls for “T” or intersecting vertical stacking systems.
o Offer Summit in one direction and Hufcor op wall the other.
o Demonstrate what intersecting Skyfold ceiling conditions
look like and ask, “is this what you want specified?”
o Schedule Hufcor’s new AIA CES program titled,
“Flexibility is Moving in a New Direction…..UP.”
Intersecting vertical folding
partitions require soffit
cutouts
Stacking soffits must be
increased as the opening size
increases
Stair stepped Skyfolds
dangle down from the ceiling
– leaving an very
aesthetically challenging
ceiling design.
Stair stepped Skyfolds
cannot guarantee an even
horizontal splice from section
to section.
Offer a standard Hufcor
operable partition for stair
steps or sloped designs
