A busy facility, Netherfield medical centre recently contracted Style to design and install moveable wall solutions that would allow both the reception area and staff room to be quickly divided into smaller working spaces, as required. Transforming the use of the facilities, the two Stylefold folding walls allow the rooms to be divided at a moment’s notice, opening-up options as to how the internal space is utilised. With 46dB Rw acoustics, the walls create an effective screen, offering privacy when in situ. Intensely practical, both walls have a clinical white thermopal finish, complementing the modern interior of the medical centre.
“For a very reasonable budget, Stylefold walls can be retrofitted into almost any room, allowing buildings with high levels of pedestrian footfall to more easily comply with social distancing requirements,” said Steve Williams, Style’s sales director for the Midlands.
Located just outside of Nottingham, Netherfield medical centre is managed under the business name of Trentside Medical Group. Its dedicated team treats minor ailments as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions, with clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues.
Aiming to better utilise the existing building, Style worked with contractors, Key Construction, to create space that could be adapted to reflect the demands of a busy schedule of clinics, training events and meetings.
In the reception area, a key requirement was to divide the main concourse from the health education room. Due the layout, Style used two individual end-fold screens that met at 90 degrees in the middle.
Upstairs, the Stylefold wall allows the staff room to be divided into two, ensuring there is always private space for staff to relax on their break, even if a meeting is taking place on the other side of the wall.
Both areas, upstairs and down, can be left as open-plan spaces when additional rooms are not needed, with the folding walls parked neatly to the side.
Style is the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Hüppe, Skyfold and SWG offering an extensive portfolio of moveable and folding wall solutions for all requirements and budget.
