Single glazed partitions are a modern glass solution used to create private rooms without compromising on space and affecting the open-plan feel of an office. These are affordable, contemporary, professional, and high-end solutions used to divide up open areas without the added cost.

Cost-effective.
No damage to existing building fixtures.
Flexible and demountable- can be easily reconfigured to suit your layout.

If you are looking for a glass office partition to achieve an acoustic performance the guide below gives indicative levels of what can be achieved using configurations of glass thicknesses in single or double glazed applications.

There are many factors that can affect the performance of a partition wall including flanking sound traveling above a suspended ceiling, air grills, conditioning ductwork, and transition details between walls. Most tested systems will tend to perform up to 5dB better in a test environment than in an installation. Please contact our experienced staff who will be pleased to provide assistance.
