With excellent 54dB acoustic integrity, Skyfold was chosen as the best option – a hugely popular moveable partitioning wall system, ideal for major company boardrooms and meeting areas. Skyfold is the innovative, vertically rising, fully automatic, acoustic moveable wall housed discreetly in the ceiling cavity, therefore completely hidden when not in use.
Activated by the simple push of a button, it glides effortlessly and silently into place, dividing space with speed and ease – a real showpiece for client meetings as well as offering practical room division.
“Skyfold’s popularity has been rocketing in recent years,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director, “mainly because it is such an incredible moveable wall solution that once architects, contractors and end-user clients see it in action they can’t believe how stylish, practical, discreet and easy to use it is.”
“With Skyfold’s acoustic integrity ranging up to Rw59dB, the option exists to have a virtually sound proofed solution, plus it comes in a wide range of finishes, and for Pillsbury a Maharam Fabric best suited the aesthetics of the room.”

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.
