Glass Partitions

Most popular in commercial settings, glass room dividers are used to create distinctions between different areas. For instance, communal areas and private offices. However, unlike traditional dividing walls, you won’t have to compromise on design or lose out on natural light.

Instead, glass partitions enable you to maintain clear sight lines and an inviting spacious feel in potentially stuffy offices. They also help to retain heat in large spaces and act as a sound barrier to ensure quiet work areas. On top of that, full or partially sandblasted designs can be used to add aesthetic appeal and enhance privacy. Ideal for meeting and conference rooms.

Alternatively, glass partitions may be included in luxury homes as contemporary design features. Or as seamless room separators for open-plan layouts to allow light to pass between spaces. Examples include frosted glass division walls bedrooms and bathrooms. As well as clear internal glass walls for subtly separating kitchens from lounges. They are also popular in wine cellars, allowing you to showcase collections and effectively regulate room temperature.

Below are some examples of how glass partitions can be used in domestic and commercial environments.

Note: abc Glass Processing only product glass for partitions, we do not supply complete glass partitioning systems or install them.

Glass partitions are made from large sheets of toughened safety glass which extend from floor to ceiling. These are then anchored into position with the help of slim metal channels or patch fittings. Additionally, multiple sheets of glass can be placed alongside each other to create full-length internal glass walls. Learn all about glass partition zoning on our blog.

In addition, our advanced CNC and water jet cutting machines enable us to create accurately placed holes for hinges and patch fittings. And we can also provide frameless glass doors available to complement your room divider and improve accessibility.

Note: abc Glass Processing supplies glass for interior partitions only and does not install complete systems.

At abc Glass, each of the robust glass room partitions we create are toughened according to strict European safety standards. In fact, we temper each glass sheet in our furnace to make it at least five times stronger than standard glass. And in the unlikely event that it does break, toughened glass will shatter into small pieces rather than large sharp shards.

With that said, if you’d like more reassurance, you could upgrade to heat soaked glass. This is most often requested for commercial installations, or where replacing broken glass partitions would prove tricky. Essentially, heat soaking involves testing safety glass for microscopic nickel sulphide inclusions. If present, they can cause glass to shatter spontaneously. But with additional testing, around 95% of affected panes can be identified and replaced prior to fitting.

As well as glass toughening, we can also use sandblasting to add carefully positioned patterns or designs to improve the visibility of the glass. This is a popular option for glass office partitions to prevent staff and visitors walking into these discreet dividers.

As established suppliers of sheets of glass for partitions, we generally work with specialist installation companies on commercial projects. These range from office revamps to library and gym upgrades. Alongside bulk orders, we also supply one-off glass wall panels for domestic projects upon request. Please note that we supply the glass only, rather than full partitioning systems. You will therefore need a professional installer to complete your project.

Our team can typically manufacture clear and tinted toughened glass room separators within 1 week. However, you can expect to wait up to 14 days for more complex sandblasted designs.
