Moveable walls maximise space at fire station

Moveable walls maximise space at fire station

Style has installed two DORMA Varitrans glass moveable walls to the community training area of the newly constructed, Lymm Fire Station.

Creating a quirky design, one glass wall has the appearance of a curved screen when closed, creating an airy Life Skills Centre. The other Varitrans divides an open area, that is used for large gatherings, into two separate rooms for training, presentations and meetings.

Working with architects, TACP of Wrexham, and main contractor ISG, Style was asked to add functional adaptability to the space, ensuring it is utilised to the maximum, at all times. DORMA Varitrans is a single glazed moveable wall with the option of either manual or fully automatic operation, and was the perfect solution for Lymm Fire Station’s requirements.

Andy Gibson, Style’s director for the North, said:"Varitrans is ideal for projects such as Lymm Fire Station as well as shop fronts, restaurants, church halls, airports, showrooms or offices, where space division is required without the need for acoustics".
