St. Modwen is a logistics and housebuilding developer with a rich 30-year history.
The company operates across two dedicated business units: St. Modwen Homes and St. Modwen Logistics, both of which are active across England and South Wales and aligned to structural growth trends.
At St. Modwen’s head office in Birmingham, Style worked with contractor, Claremont, to offer flexibility in the meeting and training room through the installation of a moveable wall.
A Dorma Huppe Variflex solid moveable wall was chosen as the best solution, with an impressive 55dB acoustic rating which enables meetings and training sessions to take place either side of the wall without any sound interference.
With a chic, white finish, the wall complements the simple, clean interior styling of the room and, thanks to the quality of all Dorma Huppe moveable wall solutions, it can be opened and closed smoothly and effortlessly to divide the space when required.
“As the UK’s market leading specialist, we offer a range of moveable, folding and partitioning walls for all requirements and budgets,” explained Steve Williams, Style’s sales director for the Midlands.
“This is a great example of a practical solution that offers St. Modwen staff the ability to change the use of the space multiple times a day, if required, and get the most out of their meeting and training room by being able to cater for gatherings of different sizes.”
Style is the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG. The company has won the prestigious FIS Contractors Gold award a record 12 times, and leads the way with sustainable moveable wall solutions which is of importance to anyone seeking solutions for BREEAM, LEED and SKA.

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.
