Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Choosing a Dorma Huppe Variflex Glass Moveable Wall, the meeting room can be divided from the rest of the space with ease whilst retaining visibility and an open plan feel.

At the Mediabrands office in London’s Old Bailey, Style worked with MCM Architects and contractor, 8 Build, to create a flexible meeting room next to a large community and circulation space.
Choosing a Dorma Huppe Variflex glass moveable wall, the meeting room can be divided from the rest of the space with ease whilst retaining visibility and an open plan feel.
With a 52dB acoustic rating, meetings can be hosted without outside interference and the inclusion of the two fully glazed pass doors enable the moveable wall to remain in place for extended periods creating a more permanent meeting room.
“We are seeing very strong demand for glazed moveable wall systems,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director, “because companies are looking to enjoy adaptable office space whilst retaining that open plan working environment.
“At Mediabrands, the black painted frames on this moveable wall complement the interior design of the room perfectly, and the semi-automatic operation of this Dorma Huppe moveable wall makes it simple to open and close, with the acoustic seals being applied to the perfect pressure each time.”
Style is the UK’s exclusive partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG offering a broad portfolio of solid and glass moveable walls for all requirements and budgets.
Its glass operable wall range offers acoustic and non-acoustic systems for a wide range of market sectors – including corporate, hospitality, education, healthcare, religion, local authority, retail, sports arenas, airports and high rise city centre winter gardens.

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.
