As part of this extremely high profile project, Style was appointed by main contractors, Buckingham Group, and architects, Populous, to provide flexible space within the main conferencing room.
When in F1 mode, this room becomes a vast media centre accommodating journalists from across the globe who use it to report on the race.
To offer them a first class facility a moveable partitioning wall was required to create a corridor down the length of this room, therefore segregating it off during important race meets to ensure the world’s media were not disturbed.
At other times, the operable wall is opened to provide a larger conferencing facility without the need for a corridor.
“We chose DORMA Moveo because it’s a very lightweight system which, because it is semi-automatic, is also extremely simple to open and close,” said Mike Fine, Style’s Director for the Midlands.
“We also future proofed the room by installing additional tracks which means if Silverstone decide to divide the room further, at a later date, they can split it into thirds”
“Due to the profile of Silverstone, all aspects of this project demanded the very highest standards of product, planning, workmanship, health and safety and overall professionalism and we were delighted to have been chosen as the most suitable provider.”

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.
