Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Repton Village Hall was opened in September 2019 becoming the second hall on the site with a sprung wooden floor in the large main hall, a community café and a meeting room.
Repton Village Hall was opened in September 2019 becoming the second hall on the site with a sprung wooden floor in the large main hall, a community café and a meeting room.
The hall was built after many years of fundraising in the village, with a public works loan obtained by Repton Parish Council.
As part of a complete rebuild project, Style worked with A&S Enterprises to create flexible space in the main hall by installing a Stylefold folding wall.
The operable wall separates the main hall from a storage room making it simple to gain access to storage facilities when tables, chairs and other equipment is needed, then partitioning it off when events and gatherings are taking place.
The simple manual, E130 fire rated folding wall divides the room with ease and includes a pass door to enable simplicity of access between the main hall and storage room when the wall is in place, with the spray paint finish complementing the village hall’s modern interior design.
“This is a great example of how a relatively straightforward folding wall can make life so much easier for local people using the village hall as an important part of their community,” said Mike Fine, Style’s director for the Midlands.
“It means you can segregate off unsightly stacked tables, chairs, heaters, lights and other storage items, keeping them out of sight when the hall is in use.
“It also means, for larger events, you can maximise revenue by opening up the storage space and using as it an extension to the room, offering greater capacity and floor space.”
Style is the multi-award winning operable wall specialist and is the exclusive UK partner to DORMA Huppe, Skyfold and SWG.
As the UK market leader in moveable walls, Style’s wide-ranging portfolio caters for projects of all sizes, budgets and requirements – ranging from village halls, such as Repton, through to major projects in conference centres, hotels, businesses, hospitals, educational establishments, churches and local authority buildings.

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.
