The Benefits of Good Acoustics in Healthcare Environments
Creating flexible, multi-functional spaces is becoming an increasingly important part of modern building design. To help architects stay up to date with the latest innovations, Style Group offers a range of RIBA-approved CPD courses covering movable walls, acoustic performance and flexible space planning.
Drawing on decades of experience as the UK’s sole distributor of Dorma Hüppe movable walls, Skyfold vertical rising walls and SWG folding wall systems, these courses provide practical insight that can be applied across the corporate, education, healthcare, hospitality and public sectors.
This course explores how flexible space can be created through the effective use of movable walls, covering key considerations such as acoustic performance, finishes, design requirements, health and safety, and ongoing maintenance.
With demand for adaptable environments continuing to grow, the course provides valuable guidance on creating spaces that can quickly respond to changing requirements.
Focusing on the only fully automatic, vertically rising acoustic movable wall available in the UK, this course looks at how Skyfold systems can transform space planning by disappearing completely into the ceiling cavity when not in use.
Ideal for projects where flexibility, aesthetics and acoustic performance are equally important, the course explores the benefits and applications of this innovative solution.
Style Group has won the prestigious FIS Contractors Awards 19 times and is accredited to UKAS standards for ISO9001:2015 Quality Management, ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management, BS OHSAS 45001 Occupational Health and Safety. Our team works with architects and contractors throughout the UK, delivering some of the most innovative movable wall solutions available today.

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.
