Operations and Maintenance Manual 1-10
KWIK-WALL Company Operable Wall Systems
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Track System:
The aluminum track system provided has a durable anodized clear satin finish which resists scratching and
utilizes grooves and interlocking steel pins for positive alignment of adjacent track sections. The overhead
track system should be checked for smoothness and proper joint alignment.
Flanges can be cleaned with any petroleum-based solvent once a year. A light coat of lubricant, such as “Sil-
Glyde”, on the inside lower and upper flanges of track will allow the carriers to roll smoother.
Panels:
Move all panels into position and activate bottom seals. Observe panels for smoothness of operation. Check
for proper seal operation. Inspect overall wall appearance for damaged panel faces, alignment, or joint gaps.
FINISH MATERIAL CLEANING: STANDARD and UPGRADE VINYL
KWIK-WALL’s Standard and Upgrade Vinyl finish materials meet and exceed G.S.A. Federal Specification
CCC-W-408A and conform to the CFFA Quality Standard for Vinyl Coated Fabric Wall covering. Standard
selections of vinyl have also been tested for fire hazard classification and have achieved a Class A rating in
accordance to UL 723. In addition, these vinyl wall coverings have been tested and comply with paragraph
3.6 “Mildew Resistance” of CCC-W-408D and paragraph 7.18 “Mildew Resistance of ASTM F793, Standard
Classification of Wallcovering by Durability Characteristics.”
Cleaning soiled areas is best accomplished as soon as possible after soiling occurs. The method of cleaning
should be to use a solution of mild soap with a natural sponge. A natural sponge’s construction does the best
job of removing dirt from the textured surface. With difficult to remove deposits the use of a soft bristle brush
is recommended. Then rinse thoroughly with clean warm water. The area can be wiped dry with a clean soft
cloth. Do not use solvent-based cleaning solutions as they may affect the color pigment of the vinyl fabric. If
stronger cleaning is required, first evaluate the cleaner in an inconspicuous location.
FINISH MATERIAL CLEANING: UPGRADE CARPET and UPGRADE FABRIC
KWIK-WALL’s Upgrade Carpet and Upgrade Fabric material consist of polyolefin yarn and fiber that is
solution-dyed to assure consistent color and colorfastness. These finish materials are anti-microbial and do
not support the growth of mildew or bacteria. The polyolefin staple fibers are stain resistant and are
unaffected by most chemicals, acids, alkalis, salts, and cleaning agents (including household bleach).
Upgrade Carpet and Upgrade Fabric are Class A rated as tested in accordance with ASTM E84 Tunnel Test.
Cleaning soiled areas from these surfaces is best accomplished as soon as possible after soiling occurs. A
mild solution of warm water and a standard household non-caustic cleaner solution dabbed with a clean white
cloth. The area may then be blotted with another clean, dry, soft cloth to absorb excess water. If you have to
scrub the surface, gently work the cloth back and forth with the least amount of pressure necessary. Do not
use a bristle brush, as it may damage the carpet nap. After cleaning, allow the material to air dry. Most
commercially available Carpet and Upholstery cleaners will do an excellent job removing stains. Always
check to see that a cleaner will not cause damage to material or fabric, by testing on a small area out of sight.
