Interior Glazed Partitioning Systems

Glazed Partitions are often considered an expensive outlay to smarten up an office. Even when this would improve the company image, the working environment and in turn, maximise employee efficiency.

Office Partitions

Do you remember the old days when people raised their voices or you had someone with a “distinctive” voice in your office – which often left you with very little option of privacy? Now for a modest financial outlay, your staff efficiency can be optimised due to adding acoustic protection along with the ability to add privacy of separate office spaces. We offer lots of acoustic option up to 49dB Rw and many privacy options including powered switchable glass, integral blinds or film applied manifestations. Contact us now with your requirements.

Fire Screens

The importance of fire safety in any building can never be overlooked. You only have to look at the recent Grenfell Tower disaster to realise how critical fire safety is. Grenfell has helped bring this to the forefront of people’s consciousness. Company Owners, Directors, Designers along with Contractors and Sub-contractors can be prosecuted for non-compliance without an event taking place so dealing with a company in this specialised area is important. Walls of Glass Limited are a specialist installers of Promat Fire Rated Glazing Products and would happy advise and discuss your requirements can advise you in the areas regarding the integrity and insulation of our glazed fire screens.

Relocatable Partitions

Slightly different from the frameless glazing, these systems allow you to relocate partitions should you need to rearrange your office layout. These systems are generally built around a stud framework, have skirting’s and can offer varying integrating setups including glazed to solid, half height glazing, mix and match glazing etc and even more flexibility. This is often confused with the above Demountable but buyer beware as demountable can only be relocated where the dimensions are exactly the same as the space where they have been located in the first instance (e.g. 2.1 Metre product will not relocate into a 3 Metre location or vice versa. This is the beauty of relocatable systems. Please discuss your requirements with us so that you get the most suitable offering in the first instance.

Impact Glass

Glass in its annealed form, framed and intact is not an immediate threat but when it is broken, the long shards turn into effective cutting devices with sharp edges with momentum. Fortunately glass can be modified to change these properties and reduce the risk of injury dramatically. There are standards and codes of practice that state where impact resistant glass must be used but the list of locations is not exhaustive. Anywhere where there is a risk of human contact should be evaluated for the potential risk of breaking glass. We offer laminated, toughened, toughened laminated and ballistic/burglary glass options.

Safety requirements

Glass used in furniture should also comply with the safety requirements for tables, cabinets, shelves and glass doors to wardrobes etc.

Generally glass is considered a risk in areas of low level glazing and in and around doors. The risk locations are the areas where accidental damage may cause the glass to break. Another risk area is where glass may be loaded to a high level due to the pressure applied by bodies as in the case of glass floors and barriers. In floor and barrier locations the contact with the glass will be predicted rather than by accident. A further area of interest is overhead glazing where the integrity failure of glass may have dire consequences unless the glass is modified.

The most frequently used glass to ensure personal safety is toughened and laminated glass products. Rarely do we suggest a combination of toughened and laminated glass because it can give the poorest characteristics of both glasses.

Toughened glass achieves its impact resistance by having the strength increased by a factor of up to 5 and when it breaks it collapses into small relatively harmless particles.

Laminated glass is no stronger than the annealed glass it is formed from, but the interlayer bonds the panes together. The bonded panes resist penetration and holds the broken panes together reducing the risk of harm.

Frameless Screens. The futuristic ever fashionable way of ensuring your offices are optimised for maximum spaciousness and utilisation of light with the correct wall of glass design.

Framed / Frameless Glass Doors. This will marry up perfectly with your Walls of Glass Systems option.

MANIFESTATIONS

Manifestation applied to glass is the minimum requirement to be complaint with current health and safety rules and regulations. Application of even the standard DDA compliant dots or squares will ensure that there are no bumped heads by emphasising to all that there actually is a “Wall of Glass” in place as they can see the manifestation. Why not tailor make yours to have your corporate colours or Logo? Contact our office for more info.

INTEGRAL BLINDS

Integral Blinds offer a cost effective option to providing privacy to an office when needed. With a quick turn of a knob, the blinds are tilted and privacy is assured as the blinds are engaged. We also offer a battery powered remote control version which includes a small motor in the blind head which allows the user to close or open the blinds without leaving their chair! Blinds can only be installed in our Double Glazed systems only.

MIRRORS

We cant make your office look quite as good as Peles Castle but we can enhance your office space by enhancing your natural light but not with the use of smoke and mirrors just quality mirrors.
