Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
The moveable walls are also very light and smooth to operate, which means they can be opened and closed with ease at any point during the day.

Park House surgery in Cannock is an NHS facility serving the local community. Offering a wide range of health services, it is a busy centre with constant pressure on room space.
Working with Horsley Huber Architects and contractors, Three Sixty Commercial Interiors, Style was specified to install two moveable walls to enable the surgery to divide its office space into separate rooms as and when required.
Opting for two Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable walls, Style’s solution offers the surgery greater flexibility on a daily basis as to how the offices are used dependant on the numbers of people and activities taking place.
With an impressive 55dB acoustic rating on both operable walls, staff can work, provide client consultations, host meetings or run training sessions either side of the wall, completely undisturbed.
The moveable walls are also very light and smooth to operate, which means they can be opened and closed with ease at any point during the day.
“With any NHS facility, space can often be in high demand and by creating flexibility means you can adapt the offices based on daily demand,” said Steve Williams, Style’s sales director for the Midlands.
“These manually operated Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable walls are an ideal solution, as it means the surgery staff can quickly create separate rooms when they need to.”
The Variflex range of moveable walls is available with manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic operation.
At Park House surgery an oak finish was added to the panels, however there are no limits to the individual surface finishes that you can incorporate – from genuine wood veneers to decor surfaces.
Style is the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG offering an extensive range of moveable, folding and partitioning walls for all requirements or budgets.

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.
