Working with architect, Keppie Design, and contractor, Sharkey, Style was specified to create flexible space in the function room and this was achieved using two Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable walls to create a T-shape.
This enables the room to be divided into two individual rooms, as and when required, each with separate access.
Each wall incorporates a double pass door with push bar panic hardware to meet regulations in line with the fire evacuation plan. In addition to this, one of the walls also has a single pass door, again with push bar panic hardware, and allows separate access to each room from the external corridor made by the wall configuration.
Both walls offer a superb 57dB acoustic rating which enables concurrent events to take place undisturbed.
“This is a great example of where moveable walls can be combined to create a really flexible room configuration,” said David Louden, Style’s director for Scotland.
“As the room can often host lively events, the acoustic rating is also a huge benefit as it means two events can be hosted without interfering with one another.
“The classic Pearl Grey III finish on these moveable walls also works well, offering not only an adaptable space but a stylish one too.”
Style is the UK’s leading provider of moveable, partitioning and folding walls and is the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG.

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.
