Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
With budget being an important criteria, Stylefold 120 was chosen. As an easy to operate, low cost solution, it was finished in a stylish timber veneer and provided a 44dB Rw giving important privacy between rooms when closed.

Working with architects, Nils Westman, and contractors, Henry W Pollard & Sons, Style was appointed to create a flexible space in the main hall so that it could be sub-divided for smaller, concurrent events whilst also enabling the entire hall to be used as a complete open space.
With budget being an important criteria, Stylefold 120 was chosen. As an easy to operate, low cost solution, it was finished in a stylish timber veneer and provided a 44dB Rw giving important privacy between rooms when closed.
“This is an excellent example of how we can deliver an outstanding partitioning wall solution to a small community hall, enabling them to maximise their room hire income and optimise the use of space,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s managing director.
“Stylefold is a terrific and practical acoustic folding wall, and to enable access between rooms when closed it has an integrated pass door as standard. The timber veneer blends perfectly with the wooden floor, and it is extremely simple to manoeuvre which means it can be moved in and out of position with ease, changing the room layout in an instant.”

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.
