INSTALLATING AND RECONFIGURING FLEXFRAME

An overview of FlexFrame:

Installation tips

Components and integrated technology

Reconfiguration

20

STEP 1Attach wall mount brackets to wall

STEP 2Attach frame pieces to divide sections and outline workwall perimeter. Frames come in four heights and widths ranging from 2-12 feet.

INSTALLING FLEXFRAME

INSTALLATION TIPS:

Attach FlexFrame wall mount brackets with toggle bolts

and attach frame pieces to brackets; no need to hit studs

or reinforce walls.

Integrate power and data, attach storage and worksurfaces.

Facilities personnel usually handle reconfiguration.

21

STEP 3Integrate modular power and data system (or hardwire corded solution).

STEP 5Attach cantilever desk, table, or worksurface if desired.

STEP 4Attach shelves, bins or drawers (shown with optional wire management cut-outs) for each section. Attach skins to create cable management space and to finish appearance of workwall.

STEP 6Finish power and data hook up.

STEP 7Make final power and data connections and install trim plates.

FRAMES

Frames define the dimensions of a workwall and support workwall components.

POWER INFEED

Hardwire power infeed brings the power source into the workwall. Modular, hard-wired and corded power available.

SKINS

Optional skins conceal wiring and add function and aesthetic interest to workwall. Wood, laminate, glass, fabric, technology, tv, cable management and worksurface attachment skins available.

COMPONENTS AND INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

FlexFrame storage, worksurface and technology

components install and reconfigure without

demolition and disruption, or outside trades.

Workwalls support a wide variety of displays,

monitors and other devices. Power and data

are built in and easily managed. Plus, FlexFrame

seamlessly integrates media:scape technology.

The FlexFrame system creates work environments

that can change at a moment’s notice.

INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

Workwalls integrate technology with wire management, power and data distribution, and attachment of monitors and cameras.

TECHNOLOGY SKINS

Technology skins support easy plug and play. Power outlets, Extron data, and LED light switches available.

WIRE MANAGEMENT

The space behind the skins provides a wire management cavity.

Wires route horizontally or vertically.

LED LIGHTING

Optional integrated lights available on shelves, bins, and drawers.

MODULAR POWER & HARNESSES

Modular power system includes base power trays, modular harnesses, receptacle kits, a base power infeed and modular technology skins. Modular harnesses are available in lengths from 24" to 120". Harnesses compatible with 1-circuit and 2-circuit receptacle kits.

COMPONENTS

Each height workwall frame can hold a specific combination of

components, including shelves, bins, drawers, and skins. Heights of

components are multiples of 8¼". Components are easily added,

removed or repurposed. Available in laminate or wood veneer.

23

24

SHROUDS

Optional shrouds encase 32", 42", 55", or 65" monitors.

TV ATTACHMENT SKINS

Skins support monitors up to 65" or 200 pounds with 3" monitor height adjustability. Large cutout accomodates for cords and cables behind TV.

PUCK

PUCK interfaces with user’s laptop and the switcher in the techbox to allow easy content display. The PUCK controls which laptop content is shown on the display(s).

GROMMET

Grommet has six power outlets. Two outlets accommodate large power adapters. Extron data access available. Non-directional, removable grommet end provides easy access for all.

TECHBOX

TechBox supports the worksurface and conceals cords, cables and media:scape electronic components.

MONITOR CONTROL BOX

Monitor control box enables display to automatically turn on. System is activated by connecting a laptop to PUCKs (personal user control key).

WORKSURFACES

Worksurface attachment skins allow a variety of worksurfaces to attach to workwall.

CABLE MANAGEMENT SKINS

Flexible bottom strip allows for easy skin removal and cord and cable pass through. This skin is

used with shelves and bins.

DESKS & TABLES

Desks and tables with optional media:scape create high performance collaborative applications in private offices and meeting spaces. Cantilever table provides for clear access around perimeter of the table.

PRIVATE OFFICE

COLLABORATION SPACE

Changing a private office into a collaboration space has never been

easier or more cost effective.

• Less than three hours of labor

• No construction, demolition or disposal

• Minimal cost for a few additional components

• Repurpose unused components in other FlexFrame spaces

RECONFIGURING FLEXFRAME

FlexFrame reconfigures in short time frames.

Storage, worksurfaces, skins, lighting and technology

components can be reused in other FlexFrame

workspaces, limiting component inventory. And since

reconfiguring is usually handled by facilities employees,

every FlexFrame workspace change is faster, simpler and

less disruptive than a conventional construction project.
