Abstract
A modular wall system includes a leveler disposed within a wall module. The leveler includes a base to which floor interfacing members of the modular wall system connect. As the leveler adjusts the height of the wall module, the base to which the floor interfacing members attach remain stationary. During installation, the bottom edges of the floor interfacing members can be trimmed to form a consistent gap below the floor interfacing members.
Claims19
A modular wall system, comprising:
- a wall module having an exterior surface;
- a leveler disposed within an interior space of the wall module, the leveler being configured to adjust a height of the wall module;
- a floor interfacing member secured to the leveler, the floor interfacing member having an exterior surface;
- wherein:
- the leveler comprises a base having a beaded protrusion extending therefrom;
- the floor interfacing member is rigidly secured to a clip extrusion, wherein the clip extrusion is configured to receive the beaded protrusion of the base of the leveler;
- and
- the exterior surface of the wall module and the exterior surface of the floor interfacing member are substantially flush.
