Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
At its offices in London, Style worked with architects, Roger Bannister Design, and Overbury as the contractor to create a flexible room configuration incorporating two DORMA Moveo acoustic glass moveable wall systems and two Skyfold vertically rising, fully automatic, acoustic operable walls.

At its offices in London, Style worked with architects, Roger Bannister Design, and Overbury as the contractor to create a flexible room configuration incorporating two DORMA Moveo acoustic glass moveable wall systems and two Skyfold vertically rising, fully automatic, acoustic operable walls.
The Moveo glass systems run the length of the room, creating a corridor when both are in place giving the law firm two very large meeting areas either side, each with pass door access. At the push of a button, the Skyfolds help turn the floor space into 4 smaller meeting rooms when lowered from the ceiling cavity. Each system has automatic seals that give them their outstanding acoustic integrity.
“Blake Morgan chose these moveable wall systems after coming to our London showroom with the architect and contractor to see these walls in action, appreciate the acoustic performance and discuss their requirements,”
said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director.
“The end result is a prime example of how you can use moveable partitioning wall systems to create an incredible amount of flexibility in the way you utilise office space.
“All sorts of configurations can be created with ease and speed, from an expansive and completely open plan area through to 4 small meeting rooms, with further options in between. For example, Blake Morgan can run 2 small meetings with a large breakout area, host 2 conferences with a corridor in between, or have 4 meetings running concurrently.
“And because of the exceptional 50dB Rw acoustics of DORMA’s glazed system, and 51dB Rw for the Skyfolds, meetings can be held in complete privacy.”

HBN 00-09 sets out these surface characteristics because unsealed joints are a recognised place for moisture and micro-organisms to collect. A genuinely joint-free edge is designed to address that specific detail.
This is a surface and edge specification, not a clinical claim. Zero-joint technology has not been evaluated or certified by NHS England, and does not claim to reduce infection rates.
Food-service and guest-facing areas are typically inspected under hygiene and housekeeping standards that look closely at surfaces and joints. A seamless, moisture-resistant edge is designed with exactly that kind of scrutiny in mind.
Every one of these sectors shares the same underlying surface problem: a bonded-strip edge is a seam, and a seam is a place where dirt, moisture or wear can concentrate in a way a continuous surface can't. Zero-joint technology addresses that one structural detail across offices, schools, healthcare and hospitality settings alike — one construction detail, one shared weak point removed, four sectors that each care about it for their own reasons.
