Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
At its offices in Norwich, Style worked with contractor, Sol Services Ltd, to create flexible space in one of CCS’s meeting rooms, enabling staff to configure the room into one large meeting room, two smaller meeting rooms or open the area up into a completely open plan space.
Crown Commercial Service (CCS) plays an important role in helping the UK public sector save money when buying common goods and services.
As the biggest public procurement organisation in the UK, CCS uses its commercial expertise to help buyers in central government and across the public and third sectors to purchase everything from locum doctors and laptops to police cars and electricity.
At its offices in Norwich, Style worked with contractor, Sol Services Ltd, to create flexible space in one of CCS’s meeting rooms, enabling staff to configure the room into one large meeting room, two smaller meeting rooms or open the area up into a completely open plan space.
Combining two glass folding partitions with impressive 42dB Rw acoustic ratings, alongside a Stylefold 120 solid folding wall with a 50 dB Rw rating, gave CCS the flexibility they needed with a stylish and light solution.
To add to the interior design of the room, graphics were added to the solid moveable wall with matching manifestations on the glass, and all of the folding walls operated with a bottom rolling mechanism due to there being no head support.
“This is a great example of how a combination of solid and glass acoustic folding walls can create flexible meeting room space which offers light and visibility but is also very private,” said Steve Williams, sales director for Style Midlands.
“These walls are so effortless and light to manoeuvre that the space can be reconfigured in minutes, which means different room options can be created for different meetings throughout the day.
“The glass moveable walls also retain that feeling of having open plan space, whilst the impressive acoustic integrity of these folding walls means that meetings can take place completely undisturbed.”

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.
