Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
In the Barbican meeting room, Style installed two glazed Stylefold 960 sliding folding walls; each with a 42dB acoustic rating.
The Leonardo Royal Hotel in St Paul’s is a sophisticated hotel nestled in the heart of London. Located beside the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral, this hotel is an excellent choice for business, leisure, and family guests alike, with stunning rooftop views, stylish interiors and 432 spacious rooms.
Working with architects, Cunningham McLean, and Edgewater Contracts, Style was specified to create flexibility in the hotel’s ‘Barbican’ and ‘Temple’ meeting rooms.
In the Barbican meeting room, Style installed two glazed Stylefold 960 sliding folding walls; each with a 42dB acoustic rating.
These walls are quick and effortless to move in and out of position, and can quickly divide the room into either 3 small individual meeting rooms, 1 large and 1 small meeting room, or the area can be opened up into one larger space.
In the Temple meeting room, Style installed another 42dB glazed Stylefold 960 sliding folding wall, this time along the side of the room, enabling the room to either be closed off or opened up into the breakout area.
With RAL 9005 Black Frames, these folding walls are not just a practical solution, but a stylish one too – complementing the interior design of the rooms, and allowing maximum light and visibility.
“Flexible space is a ‘must have’ for hotel meeting rooms, as it optimises their revenue potential by providing the flexibility to cater for a number of separate events concurrently, or host larger gatherings,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director.
“The Stylefold 960 is an excellent solution, as it is so quick to open and close, which means the rooms can be reconfigured in a matter of minutes in between meetings.”

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.
