Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
The two DORMA MOVEO® units were installed by specialist fit-out contractors Gariff Construction Ltd. They are located between the bar area and the main function room offering further opportunities to divide this space, and providing flexibility of space in these busy areas. “Steve Dickson, Director at Faulkner Browns, the architects involved on the project, said: […]
The two DORMA MOVEO® units were installed by specialist fit-out contractors Gariff Construction Ltd. They are located between the bar area and the main function room offering further opportunities to divide this space, and providing flexibility of space in these busy areas.
“Steve Dickson, Director at Faulkner Browns, the architects involved on the project, said: “We were looking for a lightweight system that affected less structural load on the building, and was easy to use. The MOVEO® system was very impressive on both counts. It was cost effective against manual systems and the support we got from the DORMA sales operation and design team was first rate too”

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.
