Dorma Variflex Glass Semi automatic acoustic moveable wall - Denton's offices, Milton Keynes

Dentons is the world’s largest law firm. Greatly improving the meeting room facilities at their Milton Keynes office, Style worked with contractor, CBRE, to install a Dorma Huppe Variflex glass moveable wall, converting an existing corner moveable wall into a “T” configuration.

This new ‘extension’ increases flexibility of the office space, giving Dentons the option to create an additional small meeting room, create a much bigger meeting area, or open up the entire floorspace for larger gatherings.

Offering seamless interior design, the frames of the new moveable wall were matched to those of the existing wall, with a continuation of the glass and a pass door for ease of access. The Variflex system was installed with semi-automatic operation and a 52dB acoustic rating.

Operating across over 80 countries, Dentons helps grow, protect, operate and finance its clients’ organisations by providing uniquely global and deeply local legal solutions. Polycentric, purpose-driven and committed to inclusion and sustainability, it focuses on what matters most to each client.

“This is a great example of where flexible meeting space is working so well that a client requires even more adaptability,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director.

“The high end acoustic rating of this Variflex moveable wall means meetings can take place in complete privacy, without noise disturbance, and the semi-automatic operation means the acoustic seals are applied to the correct pressure each time the wall is closed.

“In addition, this is a highly sustainable solution as it is an EPD certified moveable wall in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN15804. This is of importance to anyone seeking sustainable solutions for BREEAM, LEED or SKA.”
