Top result for emissions testing on Dorma Huppe’s complete moveable wall

2022-01-24

With indoor air quality becoming increasingly important, Style’s manufacturing partner, Dorma Huppe, has exceeded the target in a recent emissions test by eco-INSTITUT.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were analysed and evaluated as part of an emissions test of their Variflex movable wall system, delivering reference values of only 0.021 mg/m³; the max. requirement according to AgBB (Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products) being ≤ 1 mg/m³.
 
The result is particularly significant for architects, contractors and end user clients choosing moveable walls for sustainable buildings, as not only were the individual parts tested, but also a complete Variflex 100 movable wall with a height of 2.8 m.

This consisted of a full wall element, telescopic element and pass door with wheels and suspension. This created a ‘worst case scenario’, because all three elements were tested at the height and size similar to the dimensions in which they would be installed in real life, however Dorma Huppe still came out with outstanding figures.

“These test results show just how far advanced  Dorma Hüppe is with its strategy to develop highly sustainable moveable wall solutions,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director.

“By using such high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, it means Style can meet even the most demanding environmental building specifications and, as is the case with the Variflex 100, it is also helping to maintain unpolluted indoor air quality.”

Style is the UK’s market leading moveable, folding and partitioning wall specialist and, through their exclusive UK partnership with Dorma Huppe, were the first ever UK supplier of EPD certified moveable walls in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN15804.
