Articles
Numerous articles, which featured Screenflex Portable Partitions, have appeared in leading church and school publications. Excerpts from several of these articles appear below:
"SPACED OUT", Your Church, Nov/Dec 2001 by Michael W. Michelsen, Jr
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Chicago, Illinois, was in the midst of an expansion program, but needed more space before the project would be completed.
"We had an important building project going on at the time," says Sandy Wunluck, the church's secretary, "but our Sunday school teachers were very short of space. They needed rooms for their classes, they needed boards to hang things on, and they needed storage space for their materials (to avoid) having to haul things back and forth. The only solution we could come up with was to divide our gym with partitions."
So, the church contacted Rich Maas, vice president of Screenflex, also in Chicago, for help. Screenflex met their needs.
"Partitions are an easy solution to many church space problems, " Maas says. "Unfortunately, what most people think of are the big, heavy monsters of yesterday. Our partitions are light, and they fold and unfold in seconds. They can be moved quickly and easily without damaging wooden floors or carpeting."
Because the company understands that no two churches are alike, it offers a wide variety of panel sizes in both free-standing and wall-mount versions. Portable classrooms are also available.
"Good Church Divisions", Your Church, March/April 1996, by John Thorp.
No matter what vintage your church architecture, you need to organize space for people for various purposes and in different settings. Every church building serves a variety of purposes: worship, education, fellowship, administration, recreation, and even entertainment. The mix and size of activities change frequently, even week to week.
Lightweight partitions ride on casters, allowing you to set them up in seconds, or fold them together for easy storage… portable partitions absorb most classroom sound and are particularly effective in rooms with standard ceiling heights. Yet, such partitions can also divide a gymnasium or other high ceiling room. Since they are freestanding, (Screenflex) portable partitions can easily reconfigure areas for cross-graded classrooms or special events.
Doesn't all of this cost a lot of money? The answer depends on whether one thinks short-or long-term. Simple portable portioning to make three rooms out of one larger room can cost as little as $2,000, plus shipping. But-this is the key-the savings over solid walls is immediately realized the moment a room or office is reconfigured. When that happens on a regular basis, perhaps weekly, the multi-purpose configurations make partitions an economic choice.
