Compare the options

Framed single glazing

Good for meeting rooms and offices that need borrowed daylight. Ask how the uprights align with ceiling tiles and furniture, and compare the visible width and finish of the frame on both sides of the glass.

Frameless-look glazing

Use where a clear view across reception or a client suite matters. Slim head and floor channels can reduce visual interruption. Ask to see the actual panel joints, door fittings and edge detail before choosing this option.

Frosted or partly opaque frontage

Use a frosting band where people can see monitors and seated occupants. Test the sightline from the corridor and door before setting its height. If the room needs a truly opaque lower section, compare a solid lower panel with clear glass above.

Glazing for speech privacy

For HR, interview or board rooms, compare tested assemblies for the glass, frame and door. Ask about perimeter and drop seals, junctions above the suspended ceiling and whether shared air paths bypass the wall.

Survey the room before ordering the glass

Measure the opening at several points. Note the finished floor, ceiling grid, nearest solid wall and the way the new partition meets an existing window or column. Check the loading bay, lift opening and tightest corner on the delivery route. The longest panel must be able to reach the site.

Draw the door in the open position. Compare a hinged door with a sliding door against clear width, required hardware and room privacy. Ask about access control cabling, handle positions, closers and visible markings so people can recognise a clear glass panel from either approach.

Worked example for a 3.6 m meeting-room frontage

At 2.7 m high, a 3.6 m frontage is 9.72 m² gross. A nominal 0.9 × 2.1 m door opening accounts for 1.89 m², leaving 7.83 m² before adjustments for framing. These figures are for comparing scope. The installer measures the actual panels, hardware and clear door opening before fabrication.

Ask for separate lines for fixed glazing and frames, the door set, frosted film, access control, delivery and reinstating affected finishes. In a tenanted office, check who owns after-hours access, floor protection and removal of any existing partition. Compare the total for the same scope even if the suppliers measure glazing differently.

Common questions

Which glass is suitable for a meeting room?

Select the glass and framing with the installer after confirming room use, safety requirements and privacy. Assess acoustic requirements for the whole room, including the doors and ceiling.

Does frosted film improve sound insulation?

Frosted film changes visibility. For speech privacy, assess the glazing assembly, door seals and gaps at the ceiling, floor and service routes.

Can I add a glass partition to an occupied office?

It depends on the delivery route, building work hours and where staff can work during installation. Confirm lift bookings, floor protection and any drilling or access restrictions with building management.

Can two offices use the same glass design but different privacy levels?

Yes. You can keep the same frame finish and vary frosting, glazing and door specifications by room. For acoustic requirements, ask which complete assemblies have test documentation.

How do I compare two glass partition quotes?

Compare the same frontage, glass type, frame, door, hardware and film. Check the measurement basis and ask whether access control, delivery and making good are included.

How do I clean a glass partition with frosted film?

Check the cleaning instructions for the glazing, film and metal finishes. Ask about approved cleaners and soft cloths, especially near film edges, seals and coated hardware.
