NEW YORK—PurOptima, a U.S.-headquartered and renowned global manufacturer of sustainable interior glass wall partitions and doors, debuts an adjustable base detail to its award-winning Revolution 54 Plus demountable glass wall partition system.
A major challenge in interior construction in the U.S. is managing floor tolerances, as most buildings use concrete floors that are often uneven. PurOptima’s new adjustable base tackles this problem by offering flexibility to accommodate these variations for interior demountable glass wall systems. When paired with the deflection head and abutment system of the Revolution 54 Plus, it adds up to ½” (12.6 mm) of extra adjustability. This upgraded system features a 2 ½” overall profile, slightly larger than the existing 1” or 2” profiles, offering greater flexibility within the base. This product is ideal for both new construction and office retrofits.
“Construction methodologies for installation of demountable glass wall partition systems in the U.S. are significantly impacted by the floor conditions. If not managed properly the quality and performance of the finished product will be negatively impacted. The PurOptima Revolution 54 Plus adjustable base provides added tolerance control to our system, with minimal impact to the desired design, while increasing the overall quality and performance of the final product,” says Kevin Mayer, PurOptima’s Commercial Director.
In alignment with PurOptima’s commitment to circular economic principles, the adjustable base for the Revolution 54 Plus integrates Hydro CIRCAL aluminum into each product. This recycled aluminum, with the lowest documented embodied carbon on the market, now delivers a reduced carbon footprint of 1.9 kg of CO2e/kg aluminum, down from the previous 2.3 kg of CO2e/kg and seven times lower than the average aluminum sourced within U.S. construction.
PurOptima’s collaboration with local project delivery partners ensures that aluminum bases are fabricated locally, while all glass is sourced from American fabricators, often local to each project. By utilizing Hydro CIRCAL, PurOptima continues to set new benchmarks in sustainable practices, offering a competitive carbon advantage unparalleled in the U.S. building product industry.
