Glass for
Partitions

Glass partitions are a practical way to divide internal spaces while maintaining natural light and creating an open, modern environment. Commonly used in offices, meeting rooms, healthcare facilities and increasingly in residential projects, glass partitions provide a clean architectural finish without making spaces feel enclosed.

Whether you are looking at maximising natural light, showcasing beautiful views, or providing privacy in your space we have a few glass solutions to consider. If you want the best of both worlds, privacy and transparency our ToughSwitch™ switchable privacy glass will achieve this for you.

In most cases, glass office partitions are installed from floor to ceiling height and will be custom cut to size. Fully framed and semi framed glazing options are available. The size and application will determine the thickness of glass required. Laminated glass is generally used in glass partitions which will also provide better sound reduction properties compared to standard monolithic glass.

Glass Options for Partitions

The right glass will depend on the level of privacy, acoustic performance and appearance required for your project.

Clear laminated glass provides an open, contemporary appearance while helping improve safety. It is commonly used for office partitions, meeting rooms and internal glazed walls.

Tinted laminated glass reduces glare while adding a modern architectural finish. It is well suited to commercial offices and interior spaces where additional privacy or solar control is desired.

Acoustic laminated glass helps reduce the transmission of sound between rooms, making it an excellent choice for offices, boardrooms, healthcare facilities and other environments where privacy is important.

Privacy laminated glass provides increased visual screening while still allowing natural light to pass through, making it suitable for offices, consulting rooms and other private spaces.
