Leading moveable, folding and sliding wall specialist, Style, has further improved its glass division by relocating its fabrication facility into the UK from Germany.

For customers looking for Style’s non-acoustic, glass Horizontal and Folding Sliding Wall partitions, the UK fabrication facility will speed up production schedules and enhance delivery lead times.

“We’re delighted to announce this enhancement to our operation,” said Mark Cowley, who heads up Style’s glass division.

“The product components are still manufactured by our trusted partners in Germany, however by housing ample stock at our new UK fabrication and assembly facility means we can respond far more quickly to orders.

“Our HSW and FSW glass solutions are extremely popular with retail outlets, residential applications, corporate and hospitality venues who often require a rapid turnaround when a glass moveable or folding wall is needed.

“Our new facility is located in the Midlands, and as well as quickly assembling the walls we can offer additional solutions too, such as powder coating and specialist glass finishes.

“This is a very important new initiative for Style and one that will be warmly received by our UK-wide customers.”

Style is the UK market leader in moveable, folding and sliding walls, with offices in the south of England, the midlands, north and Scotland. The company also has a London showroom.

Style’s glass division has enjoyed rapid expansion in recent years, with the addition of a non-acoustic range to its acoustic products.

Demand for glazed moveable walls has risen sharply, and the combination of both acoustic and non-acoustic solutions enables Style to cater for a very large cross section of industries, including corporate, education, hospitality, retail, religion, local authorities, healthcare, sports arenas, residential and high rise winter gardens.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Healthcare Sector

NHS England’s Health Building Note 00-09 states clinical surfaces should be “impervious, designed for easy cleaning and free of fissures and unsealed joints.”
  • Laser-bonded, adhesive-free edge, with no seam or adhesive strip
  • Designed in line with the surface characteristics HBN 00-09 describes for clinical areas
  • Formaldehyde emissions tested significantly below the EU's REACH formaldehyde limit, in effect from 6 August 2026

Why it matters

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.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Hospitality Sector

Guest-facing spaces and food-service areas face frequent hygiene inspections and heavy daily use — seamless panels help simplify housekeeping and keep finishes looking newer for longer.
  • Seamless edge finish, with no visible transition between edge and panel surface
  • 100% adhesive-free construction — no hot-melt adhesive layer to fail
  • Edge processing on all four sides, built for daily commercial use
  • Low-maintenance and easy to clean

Why it matters

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.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Education Sector

Classrooms and shared facilities see high daily footfall from children and staff, so partitioning needs to withstand daily wear and support fast, thorough cleaning.
  • Seamless, adhesive-free edge with no strip to lift or wear loose over time
  • Moisture-resistant, low-maintenance surface
  • Independently tested for VOC emissions to AgBB and EN 16516

Why it matters

Schools see some of the highest footfall of any building type relative to their size, and surface durability directly affects how long fittings stay presentable between refurbishment cycles. A seam-free edge that can't lift or peel with repeated impact and cleaning is a genuinely lower-maintenance fixture over the life of the building.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Corporate Sector

Open-plan offices and meeting suites see constant daily use — surfaces need to look sharp for years without high maintenance.
  • Seamless edge finish, with no visible transition between edge and panel surface
  • 100% adhesive-free construction — no hot-melt adhesive layer to fail
  • Edge processing on all four sides, built for daily commercial use
  • Low-maintenance and easy to clean

Why it matters

An adhesive seam is one of the few places on a standard partition edge where dust, spillage residue or cleaning-product build-up can collect, simply because it isn't a flat, continuous surface. Removing that seam removes that particular weak point — a lower-maintenance fixture designed to stay looking sharp for longer.
