Working with architects, Synergy, and contractor, KPS Partnership, Style was specified to create flexibility in the main conference hall, with an additional breakout room to the side. This is the second project Style has worked on for etc.venues, as the two companies build up a strong working relationship.
Dorma Variflex was selected as the most suitable moveable wall solution, incorporating its ease of operation, detachable face boards and excellent acoustic integrity of 55dB.
With a white laminate finish, combined with book matched wood veneer, the final solution not only delivered ease of operation and flexibility, but stunning interior design too.
Additional manifestations applied on site were the icing on the cake of this breathtaking installation.
“The standard of room design and functionality at etc. venues are quite incredible,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director.
“At Style, we’re extremely proud of the strength of our products, people and processes which combine to deliver the very highest quality partitioning wall solutions that result in repeat business and forging close working relationships.”
“The photos taken at etc. venues speak for themselves, because this is a magnificent venue for any meeting or conference, and due to the room configuration it can accommodate different sized events at any given time.”

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.
