Any organisation that has a moveable wall should look at the benefits of routine servicing in 2024 to increase its lifespan and ensure its continued smooth and safe operation.

That’s according to Dan Forrest, northern operations director at leading moveable walls specialist, Style, who advises that an increasing number of companies, hotels, educational establishments, churches, retailers, local authority venues and healthcare premises are seeking to protect their investment in flexible space, with some moveable walls lasting up to 25 years if serviced properly.

“Moveable walls need regular servicing and maintenance if they are going to offer a long-lasting solution for dividing room space,” said Dan.

“It’s also important under health and safety law to ensure your moveable wall remains safe, and Style is an ISO and CHAS accredited company helping organisations with moveable walls comply with their health and safety obligations.

“For buildings with acoustic moveable walls, it is equally important to ensure the acoustic integrity is maintained, and in the case studies section of our web site we provide details of a conference centre where the acoustic barrier on their 7-metre-high walls had deteriorated to a point where they could no longer hold concurrent events when the wall was in place.

“Through a scheduled service visit our moveable, folding and sliding wall engineers can minimise the chance of any minor issue escalating into a more expensive repair later down the line. We can also ensure compliance under health and safety law, as well as check the acoustics and make any repairs while on site.

“Consequently, a well-serviced moveable wall can last for very many years indeed, protecting your investment and ensuring you can continue to divide your room space when required.”
