Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Dorma Moveo Glass was selected as the most suitable solution, enabling the chambers to be closed into individual rooms, opened up one by one into the foyer, or for all chambers to be opened up producing one large expanse.

Working with contractor, Morgan Sindall, and Hampshire County Council’s architects, this was a Council-led design with Style appointed to provide flexible space. On the mezzanine area is a series of meeting chambers, and the aim was to create flexible space whilst maximising the light into the rooms and offering as much visibility as possible.
Dorma Moveo Glass was selected as the most suitable solution, enabling the chambers to be closed into individual rooms, opened up one by one into the foyer, or for all chambers to be opened up producing one large expanse.
“The solution using Moveo offers a feeling of space, as well as maximising flexibility,”
said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director.
“Once in situ, the whole area is very light, it creates a feeling of an open community and the space can be sub-divided with ease whilst offering an excellent acoustic performance with the 50dB Rw rated product.
“In addition, we also installed DORMA Variflex in a white finish into additional meeting rooms which required a different feel and greater privacy.”
“The final solution, utilising the strengths of both products met Hampshire County Council’s requirements perfectly.”

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.
