The Benefits of Good Acoustics in Healthcare Environments
Style’s RIBA-approved CPD (Continuing Professional Development) seminars on “Multi-functional Space” and “Fully Automated Vertically Rising Acoustic Partition Systems” remain a popular choice among architects, with summer session dates filling quickly.
As flexible space design becomes a standard feature in modern architecture, these seminars are essential for staying informed on the latest innovations — especially the rise in automated partitioning systems.
Key Highlights of the Seminars:
Architects will gain insight into:
These CPDs are designed not just to inform, but to spark creativity and innovation in how architects approach room design.
“Feedback from architects who attend our CPDs is always excellent,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director.
“There are some incredible moveable wall systems available nowadays, and demand for fully automatic solutions is outweighing traditional manual systems — it’s crucial to stay ahead of these market advances.
“Glass is also highly sought after, and we’re seeing more interest in moveable wall combinations — like pairing glass with solid panels or using vertically rising walls next to horizontally moving systems. These combinations unlock new levels of creative freedom in flexible room layouts.”
For architects eager to stay at the forefront of design flexibility and acoustic innovation, Style’s CPD seminars provide both practical knowledge and visionary inspiration.

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.
