Why change?Improvement in tackable acoustical (monolithic) and sectional tiles attachment to the frames - Enhancing sustainability and installationFactory installation of the sectional tiles to the frames – Eliminating over 80% of frame and tile packaging, and reducing overall waste being disposed of during installation – 15 tons per year – and installation time Enhanced application of panel fabrics - Elimination of potential for fraying, tear-through, "window framing," or stringsTop cap clip eliminated – simplifying the component for easier installation Extruded aluminum tubing frame replaced by 1¼" steel tubing, panel core is open, and the Styrofoam and pressboard in panels and sections and have been replaced with fiberglass – improving sustainabilityThe design of glass panels and tiles has also been improved with a consistent frame size on all four sides.
Old Model Numbers are 10PNew Model Numbers are 11P
Some service may cost more based on consolidated model numbers. Service parts can be found on kimballoffice.com when you sign in. Not all service parts will work interchangeably given there are slight differences with 10P and 11P model numbers. Example: top cap
