Abstract
An operable partition seal assembly for use with an operable partition to provide an air-tight seal between the operable partition and a carpeted floor. The seal assembly includes a first sealing strip attached to an underside of an operable partition drop seal. The seal assembly also includes a second sealing strip installed in the carpeted floor beneath the operable partition when it is in a wall forming position. The second sealing strip includes a thin, upwardly extending sealing portion which is disposed within the carpet and which sealingly engages the first sealing strip to provide a sound barrier seal. The second sealing strip also preferably includes a mechanism for retaining the upwardly extending sealing portion in an operational alignment.
