With a listed boundary wall and positioned next to a manor house (also listed), the Synagogue is in a beautiful location neighbouring the lawns of the Sternberg Centre and Scheduled Ancient Monument. In order to divide the Beit Knesset and Beit Tefillah areas of the synagogue, Style was appointed by Allenbuild Construction’s south east office, working alongside Architects, Rosenfelder Associates.
Dorma Variflex with its 50dB acoustic rating was selected as the most suitable folding wall option, finished in a stunning booked matched quarter cut American Oak veneer.
With two separate areas being divided utilising a total of 35 individual panels forming various configurations and alternative positions the Synagogue now enjoys true flexibility of its space, as well as a touch of panache.
Julian Sargent, group managing director of Style said,
“This was a very special project to work on and we were extremely pleased to have been selected.”
“Our track record of delivering extremely high quality moveable partitioning wall solutions has seen specifications soar, and architects, specifiers, contractors and end-user clients value the investment we have placed in our products, people, systems, processes and the added value that we always bring.”

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.
