Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Moveable wall expert Style was called upon to divide the sports hall with an affordable, yet highly effective, solution. In response, Style recommended their Multiroll curtain partitioning system.
King’s Road Primary School in Dunfermline houses 19 classrooms, a nursery, 3 general purpose rooms, an assembly/dining hall/gymnasium and office accommodation. The building is single storey, features a large, enclosed courtyard and is fully accessible to wheelchairs.
Moveable wall expert Style was called upon to divide the sports hall with an affordable, yet highly effective, solution. In response, Style recommended their Multiroll curtain partitioning system.
Taking up zero floor space, the Multiroll is installed into the ceiling cavity, either mounted in the beam area of the roof or invisibly fitted between a suspended ceiling. Operated at the press of a button, the fabric-lined divide unfurls from above, lowering to create a safe separation for large, open spaces such as gyms and sports halls.
If required, a Multiroll can be fitted with a sound-absorbing, non-woven fabric to provide enhanced noise insulation, whilst user welfare is assured with each system coming with German TÜV-tested safety as standard. Available in a multitude of colours, the Multiroll enhances any interior décor.
“King’s Road school originally had a sliding moveable wall in the sports hall,” explains Angela McGowan, sales director at Style Scotland, “but it was quite an old system and it had become difficult to move the panels in and out of the parking bay.
“Because of the height and weight of the panels, and the existing structural support, it was just not feasible to install a modern sliding wall system, but the Multiroll offered the perfect solution, requiring only support along the linear length, which was available.
“Maximising use of the space, the new Multiroll allows staff at the King’s Road school to quickly create two areas where different classes can gather to enjoy separate activities.”
Style is the UK’s leading supplier of moveable wall systems, offering technologically advanced solutions for almost any location, including horizontal sliding and folding partitions, the vertical-rising Skyfold, as well as the Multiroll.

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.
