The Westin Denver International Airport: Kwik-Wall Restoration
At The Westin Denver International Airport, our team restored Kwik-Wall operable partitions through controlled finish removal, rust abatement and preventive treatment, comprehensive inspection, panel leveling and acoustical panel recovery. The five-day project improved system movement, alignment and appearance while the hotel remained open.
Project overview
Restoring a hotel airwall as one operating system
This hotel airwall restoration addressed the finish, alignment and operating condition of Kwik-Wall operable partitions in a guest-facing ballroom. The work combined operable wall recovery with mechanical inspection and adjustment so the restored ballroom walls could move reliably, align cleanly and retain their acoustical function.
See how MotionSpan supports hotel and resort environments and plans operable wall recovery and re-covering around the complete system.
Existing condition
Controlled removal over an acoustical substrate
The existing wallcovering had been installed over foam-backed acoustical panel faces. Removing it without tearing, deforming or otherwise damaging the foam required controlled removal, careful panel-by-panel work and specialized wallcovering experience. Preserving the foam was necessary to maintain the panels’ acoustical function while preparing them for recovery.
Work performed
Finish restoration, inspection and alignment
Our team carefully removed the existing wallcovering, preserved the foam-backed acoustical substrate, treated rust, inspected the walls and mechanical components, leveled and aligned the panels, and recovered the acoustical panel faces.
- Carefully removed the existing wallcovering from the airwall panels
- Preserved the underlying foam-backed acoustical substrate
- Performed rust abatement and applied preventive treatment
- Leveled and aligned the panels
- Comprehensively inspected the walls, trolleys and mechanical components
- Recovered the acoustical panel faces
Operating environment
Working within an operating hotel
The hotel remained open throughout the project. Our team sequenced the work within the operating ballroom and event environment, controlled the panel-by-panel restoration process and completed the work in five days with minimal interference to ongoing hotel operations.
Results

- Improved panel alignment
- Restored reliable movement
- Restored the appearance of the ballroom partitions
- Preserved acoustical performance
- Reduced the risk of future rust
- Completed the work in five days
- Caused minimal interference to ongoing hotel operations
