Recent installations in Dublin accrue returns for Shelbourne and Crown Plaza Hotels
Skyfold partitions are the new concept for space utilisation with the added benefit of revenue improvement. Any investor wants to recover their outlay and maximise the return as quickly as possible. Recent installations in Dublin have already started to accrue these for the Shelbourne and Crown Plaza Hotel’s. “When you consider the cost of floor space in any major town or city, it is easy to realise why everyone needs to maximise their space requirements. Flexibility and the need to efficiently divide space are key factors” said Efrem Brynin, Product Manager with Style, the moveable partition specialists. Whilst conventional operable walls can provide major benefits, with increasing demand and soaring rental cost it is often necessary to consider the loss of valuable floor space. Many applications including hotels and conference venues, with larger traditional operable wall installations, should consider the loss of usable floor space compared with the number of chairs and tables that may be accommodated and the potential increased revenue this could create. Skyfold offers an alternative solution with all the performance benefits of a traditional operable wall, but without the need for storage areas within the rooms and thus floor space. All the panels stack compactly within the ceiling void, basically “overhead storage”. Panels are designed to operate automatically, simply by turning a key with no special training or dedicated staff required to operate them. Thus operation time is significantly reduced and most walls can be reconfigured in a minute. Aesthetics are important in any environment and without the need for floor storage areas, wall posts, side guides or floor tracks the appearance of the room need not be compromised. Clients such as Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, IBM and numerous others have already experienced the benefits of Skyfold. If the big money guys think they are a good investment what other recommendation do you need? Face panels are available in most conceivable finishes and construction is achieved with 95% recyclable materials. Due to the unique dual wall construction creating an anechoic chamber, sound reduction is achieved without the need to increase the density and weight, reducing the structural requirements with no consideration required for point loadings. So not only do they look good but they also offer major benefits in terms of structural support design, maximising floor space and accelerating return on investment. Additionally both operational and acoustic performance comes with a 10 year guarantee. A complete support service is offered nationwide, including technical information and advice, quotations, site surveys, drawings, installation and full after sales service, through Style – Moveable Partition Specialists, the UK’s official Skyfold company.

Style are currently working with Sir Robert McAlpine and HOK, installing two large Skyfold partitions in the new o2 Arena, dividing the main auditorium at either end, maintaining the acoustic separation of the venue.
