Combining solid and glass moveable walls grows in popularity

2025-09-23

Demand for creating flexible room space, by combining solid moveable walls with glass moveable walls, is on the rise.

According to Michael Porter, Style's group managing director, there has been a substantial increase in clients requesting a combination of solid and glass moveable walls to create agile room space.

This innovative approach allows for a seamless transition between privacy and openness, enabling spaces to be quickly adapted to suit various needs and occasions.

“The integration of solid and glass moveable walls offers numerous benefits,” said Michael, “and as the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe we have seen significant growth in projects that utilise both the Variflex glass and Variflex solid moveable walls.

“Both provide exceptional acoustic properties, ensuring that sound transmission between rooms is minimised. Additionally, glass walls allow natural light to flow through the space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The combination therefore not only enhances the functionality of the room, but also adds a modern and stylish aesthetic.”

Recent installations in London, for a global financial company and at Wise’s new offices, both combine solid and glass moveable walls to deliver adaptable room configurations.

Style works across multiple market sectors and the trend is growing, from corporate boardrooms to educational facilities.

“The fusion of solid and glass moveable walls has transformed the way spaces are utilised," adds Michael.

"By offering our clients the flexibility to create private meeting areas, open-plan collaborative spaces, or even smaller breakout zones, while maintaining excellent acoustics and allowing natural light to permeate, we enable them to maximise the potential of their available space."
