BELFAST OFFICE DIVIDED BY PARTITIONING SPECIALIST, STYLE
At the Belfast office of one of the largest professional services firms in the world, Style worked with architect, Perkins & Will, and Edgewater Contracts, to create flexible space in the company’ s showcase meeting room on level 16, maximising the panoramic views across the Belfast skyline.
Retaining the light, open feel of the floor, Style installed a semi-automatic, Dorma Huppe Variflex glass moveable wall, with frosting and manifestation on the panels for added privacy.
Creating a 52 dB acoustic divide, this market-leading moveable wall enables staff to create a smaller, private meeting room off the main open plan floorspace, or open the entire area up for larger conferences and gatherings.
Variflex is as highly sustainable solution, holding both Environmental and Health Product Declarations, providing verified, life-cycle-based environmental performance data and transparency about specific material ingredients.

DIALLING DOWN NOISE AT SEVEN DIALS MARKET
Seven Dials Market in Covent Garden is a market and dining space occupying the 19th Century Thomas Neal’ s Warehouse. Designed by architects Stiff + Trevillion for client Kerb, the scheme comprises 23,680 square metres of food, drink and entertainment space.
Centred around a large open atrium under a large skylight, the two-floor market features a rich and diverse collection of 20 independent food and drink businesses offering cuisine from around the world.
Part of the Stiff + Trevillion’ s design was to draw on the building’ s history as a former banana storage warehouse and the resultant space is contemporary in style yet rooted in its heritage. The design of the building retains many original features carefully restored and refurbished including cast iron beams and brickwork arches on a flagstone floor. As with all large, open spaces covered with hard surfaces, controlling acoustics was essential in providing a comfortable space for staff and visitors. As a result, Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels in a black finish were specified for use around the central skylight to help acoustical performance.
This is an excellent example of how acoustic panels can be incorporated into a project allowing architects
to design modern, large spaces with hard surfaces but mitigating the problems stemming from long reverberation time and reflected sound.
Troldtekt acoustic panels are available in a variety of different structures and colours, combining superior sound absorption with an award-winning design. The Troldtekt range has a minimum expected life cycle of 50 years coupled with excellent resistance to humidity and tested to meet ball impact standards. The range is available in various sizes and structures, from extreme fine to fine. They can be supplied as natural wood or finished in almost any RAL or NCS colour.
Depending on the panel specified, reaction to fire is classed in accordance with EN 13501 as B-s1, d0 or A2-s1, d0 respectively. Cradle to Cradle Certified ® at Gold level, Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels are manufactured using wood from certified forests( PEFC™ and FSC ® C115450) and can contribute positively to a building’ s BREEAM, WELL or LEED points.
