Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
As with most schools, the main hall is an important multi-purpose space used for a multitude of activities each and every day – often with the need to re-arrange the space quickly for the next class, gym lesson, rehearsal or assembly.
As with most schools, the main hall is an important multi-purpose space used for a multitude of activities each and every day – often with the need to re-arrange the space quickly for the next class, gym lesson, rehearsal or assembly.
Working with East Lothian Council’s own architects and contractor Clark Contracts, Style was asked to provide a solution to speedily divide the hall into two separate rooms, or allow it to be used as one open area.
The optimum solution was a new version of the popular Multiroll system with impact absorbing PVC panels and retractable side guides providing a safe environment for children to express themselves. The simple turnkey operation makes dividing the space quick, safe and easy.
“We’re delighted to have added Multiroll to our portfolio of high quality moveable wall solutions, as it’s a great product with wide-ranging benefits,” said David Louden, Style’s director for Scotland.
“The added benefit for Windygoul School is the enhanced environment that has been created both in terms of acoustic separation between the two sides of the gym hall and the sound absorbing PVC panels which reduce the reflected sound.”

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.
