Definition
Glass partitions are internal walls of toughened or laminated glass, commonly 10 to 12 mm, with slim aluminium frames or frameless, and glass or timber doors. They are used in offices, clinics and showrooms.
Why it matters on a project
They bring daylight and a sense of space with some sound separation. Real acoustic privacy needs double or laminated glass.
Measurement and pricing
Per square metre including glass and frames, doors by number, and manifestation film per square metre.
Common mistake
Measuring glass before floors and ceilings are finished, so the actual height differs and the fabricated glass does not fit.
Frequently asked questions
Why must the glass be toughened?
It is stronger and breaks into small blunt pieces, a safety requirement for partitions and doors.
How can I add privacy?
With frosted film, sandblasted glass, blinds, or switchable smart glass.
