Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
The training ground’s main building, which is the new home to staff and players on a day-to-day basis, offers an exciting set of facilities – all designed to improve the team’s performance year on year.
Having won the Premier League in 2016, Leicester City has continued to invest in its facilities – a great example being the club’s new training ground in Charnwood, north Leicestershire, which spans an impressive 185-acres.
The training ground’s main building, which is the new home to staff and players on a day-to-day basis, offers an exciting set of facilities – all designed to improve the team’s performance year on year.
Working at the new training ground with architects, KSS, and contractor McLaren, Style was specified to create flexible space in the club’s analyst and technical coaching room.
To achieve this, Style installed a glass folding wall with a 40dB Rw acoustic rating to enable the room to be divided into two, or opened up into one large room.
The choice of a glazed folding wall system allowed maximum light into the rooms as well as visibility and an open plan feel.
“We were thrilled to be involved in creating flexible space at Leicester City’s prestigious new training centre,” said Steve Williams, sales director for Style Midlands, “and we’re grateful to their interior designers, Ideal Group, for choosing us.
“The folding wall that we installed is a floor supported centrefold system which is simple and light to manoeuvre and means you can alter the use of the space in an instant.
“Thanks to its great acoustic integrity, you can work either side of the wall without being disturbed making this an ideal solution for a room where there is analysis and technical coaching.”
Style is the UK’s market leading, multi-award-winning moveable wall specialist with offices across the UK and a showroom in London.
The company offers moveable and folding walls for all requirements and budgets – from simple folding walls such as the one at Leicester City through to major fully automatic installations.

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.
