The Benefits of Good Acoustics in Healthcare Environments
Style Scotland is experiencing a surge in demand, with sales up by an unprecedented 32% in the last quarter.
Style is the UK market leader in moveable walls, with offices in the south of England, the Midlands, the North and Scotland, as well as having an impressive London showroom where visitors can experience a range of moveable walls, finishes, stacking systems and acoustic ratings in situ.
“The remarkable growth throughout Scotland underscores the increasing need for flexible, adaptable spaces in both corporate and recreational settings,” said Angela McGowan, sales director at Style Scotland. “Our range of high quality partitioning systems allows us to meet the unique needs of our clients with functional yet creative installation solutions.
“We’ve witnessed considerable growth in demand across the whole of the UK,” adds Michael Porter, group managing director of Style, “but the sales growth in Scotland is particularly notable. It’s a testament to the dynamic marketplace and an increasing recognition of the value of our moveable walls.”
Recent high-profile installations, at Shepherd and Wedderburn in Edinburgh and Xtreme Karting in Falkirk, exemplify the firm’s ability to meet this rising demand with tailored solutions.
At Shepherd and Wedderburn, a leading Scottish law firm, Style Scotland collaborated with Michael Laird Architects and GHI Contracts to install advanced Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable walls.
These semi-automatic systems, including a glass wall with a 52dB acoustic rating and a solid wall with a 59dB rating, transform an open office area into versatile meeting spaces. The design integrates panoramic city views to create a sophisticated environment that enhances both aesthetics and functionality – key factors driving the current demand for Style Scotland’s innovative solutions.
In Falkirk, Style Scotland employed the Stylefold 120 folding wall at Xtreme Karting, an entertainment venue with varied space requirements. This system, with a 42dB acoustic rating, is ideal for dividing the venue’s space into separate areas for corporate events and private parties. The versatility and ease of use of this system have contributed to the surge in demand, particularly from the entertainment sector.
“We continue to invest in the very best people, processes and products,” continued Michael, “and that results in very high quality installations and becoming first choice for architects specifying moveable walls.
“We also offer a truly extensive portfolio of solutions for every requirement and budget, from high-end fully automated, acoustic operable systems to simple folding walls.”

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.
