Founded in 1875 and building premium homes for over forty years, today Cala continues to apply the same guiding principles of exceptional design and build, meeting stringent standards and offering value for money in a wide range of sought-after locations.
Throughout Scotland, the Midlands, and the South East of England, Cala builds premium homes with sensitivity and consideration.
At Cala’s offices in Falkirk, Style worked with architect, Graven, and contractor, GM Projects, to create flexibility in the ground floor meeting room.
A Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable wall was deemed the best option, with semi-automatic operation and an impressive 52dB acoustic rating.
To complement the clean, modern interior design of the room the moveable wall panels were finished in cement grey and, thanks to the ease and lightweight manoeuvre of this market leading moveable wall, the room can be quickly divided to cater for different requirements every day.
“This is a really stylish meeting area,” said Angela McGowan, sales director for Style Scotland. “At one end there is relaxed, comfortable seating area with a large, flat screen TV, and the other is a more formal meeting area.
“The moveable wall divides the room into two, so that different types of meetings can take place whilst also having the option of opening up the entire space into a larger open plan room.
“By including a pass door, the moveable wall can remain in place for extended periods of time, and the high end acoustic rating ensures that meetings and events can take place without disturbing one another.”
Style is the UK’s market leading moveable, sliding and folding wall specialist and the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG. With an extensive portfolio, the company caters for all requirements and budgets.

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.
