Monowa - A british based manufacturer of Operable Wall Systems

Monowa Limited is a Manufacturer of Operable Wall Systems based in the UK. With a Head Office based in Hertfordshire covering the South of England, and a factory in Cheshire covering the North, the company is advantageously placed to cater for any area of Britain.

The concept of an Operable Wall System is more important than ever in a world where construction, flexibility and the versatility of a working environment, is paramount.

Whilst carrying an open minded approach and a fresh outlook in to emerging trends and developments, the team retain the three core values of quality, service and choice. Every stage of implementation is fully undertaken including the design, manufacture and installation of moveable walls, vinyl concertina partitions, folding walls and frameless glass wall products.

A UK Market Leader, Monowa has vast experience of working with reputable architects and main contractors, as well as ceiling and partitioning companies. The reputation of the company within the industry is outstanding, and GMI Construction are not alone when they acknowledge ‘You can rely on Monowa − it is the one aspect of any of my projects that I simply don’t worry about!’.

 It’s not just industry professionals that respect the work of the company, but also its clientele. Waitrose’ Building Standards Manager recognises the success of the product − ‘Monowa’s Operable Folding Wall segregates two areas that require minimum sound transmission.

The system fulfils this criteria and fits well in to the surroundings while giving flexibility to the office suite’. With four key products, Monowa offers a Series 100, 75, 50 and 10, the most popular and widely used of the four being the Series 100. The Series 100 provides a number of key advantages as an Operable system, with the acoustic values of the product being a key point to note.

The Series 75 has the option of being floor supported, where no substantial ceiling support is evident, again providing a convenient solution to the venue. Monowa’s Series 50, a vinyl partition, offers a more informal solution for a venue where acoustic values are not of utmost importance, and finally the Series 10 is a frameless glass wall providing the obvious advantage of a transparent partition.

To further enhance the product range, Monowa offers a range of additional modifications and extras, and a wide offering of colours and finishes, giving even further allowance for the venue to have a wall system that fits in seamlessly with the surroundings and flavour of the business.

Whether it’s making a statement, or making a subtle addition, the sky really is the limit when it comes to satisfying practical and aesthetic requirements. Monowa’s impressive portfolio boasts an array of projects including offices, hotels, theatres, schools, conference centres and churches to name a few. Previous projects have included the Bristol Museum, University of Manchester, Kensington Neighbourhood Centre and the Salford City Stadium.

The company boasts an impressive ‘academic’ CV with many accreditations, including ISO 14001 Environmental Management, ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management, CHAS, Constructionline and SAFEcontractor, confirming Monowa’s adherence to strict quality, environmental and health & safety standards.

A member of the Association of Interior Specialists (AIS), Monowa proves to remain at the pinnacle of the industry. Managing Director Catherine Whelan heads up a team of 25, with staff members bringing an array of industry experience from sector’s including Manufacturing, Project Management, Sales and Marketing. Catherine acknowledges ‘I am very proud of the knowledgeable team we have built up at Monowa, both in our Southern and Northern bases, and am delighted to be able to offer such a convenient and in-depth service to businesses within many industries.’
