The Benefits of Good Acoustics in Healthcare Environments
With sustainability being at the forefront of all new build and refurb projects, Style is developing a service for refurbishing and re-using old moveable walls.
For companies, schools, hotels, community centres, local authority venues, healthcare centres, churches and any other building with moveable walls, Style can remove their existing wall, recondition and service the internal mechanism, add new panels and reinstall it so that it looks and operates like new!
For anyone looking for a movable wall, Style also plans to create a storage facility of used walls, where they will be reconditioned and made ready for installation.
It means that buildings that have not had a moveable, folding or sliding wall before can save money, and the environment, by choosing one that has been repurposed.
“Our UK-wide service and repairs team are often asked to return older moveable walls back to their ‘new’ condition, so that they can be given a new lease of life,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director.
“We are now looking to extend this service to create a stock of walls that we have removed from customers’ premises. Rather than dispose of these walls, we can offer them for re-sale as part of a refurbished product range.
“The Dorma Variflex system comes with a 30 year life cycle, however many systems get removed within 5-7 years. We can offer a reused system which still has over 20 years remaining of its lifecycle, and Style will provide the warranty that you would get from a new product. We are also able to change the panel finish so, aesthetically, the wall will appear as new.”
For more information, and/or to register interest in a refurbished moveable, folding or sliding wall, please contact your nearest regional Style office.

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.
