Following the demolition of the former Memorial Hall, work was commissioned by Mountsorrel War Memorials Trust and Mountsorrel Parish Council to construct a modern community facility. The new building includes a theatre, a café space, two shops and a crèche as well as a music and arts performance / practice room and meeting and conference rooms. Working with Franklin Ellis architects and contractor, Stepnell, Style was specified to install three moveable walls.
In the main hall, a 6m high, fully automatic DORMA Variflex moveable wall seperates the stage from the rest of the hall, when it is not required. The wall then creates a dramatic opening to shows, with the panels moving at the push of a button to reveal lighting, smoke machines and performers on stage.
A toughened glass DORMA Varitrans moveable wall allows the café to be either closed off or made part of the light and spacious foyer, whilst upstairs, another Variflex partition enables Mountsorrel staff to offer a large meeting and training room or hire out two smaller individual rooms.
This is a great example of the breadth of our product range, catering for all room types and budgets, from fully automatic systems, semi-automatic and manual ones too,” said Mike Fine, Style’s director for the Midlands. “It also demonstrates the importance of taking professional advice along the way”.
“During the design stages the 6m wall was going to be manual, however we had concerns that the panels would be very tall to be handled manually and drew to the client’s attention the possibility of making it fully automatic, which they agreed with.”
To protect the longevity, and acoustic integrity, of all moveable walls. Style recommends its aftercare and servicing package, with routine, scheduled servicing from its national team.
