Today’s commercial spaces go beyond what is purely utilitarian, and glass partition walls play an important role. Often, office spaces are designed with an eye to employee health and happiness as well as productivity. (Of course the three are actually interconnected.) In accord with this trend, you may wish to steer away from stereotypical windowless cubicles in favor of something with a more positive vibe. Using glass, rather than traditional walls, to divide work stations allows you to keep an open ambiance while still providing a level of separation between desks and areas with diverse functions.
Glass Wall Design Options
Like many custom glass products, glass partition walls can be framed or frameless. On a frameless room divider or wall system, you will see very little metal. Small clips, unobtrusive tracking, and the like take the place of framing. When you want to maintain visual continuity between spaces, clear unframed glass is your best choice, and this type of partition imparts a sleek, futuristic look.
These days, however, the pairing of glass and matte black metal is also popular. There are a couple ways to achieve this combo with glass walls.
Partitions surrounded by matte black framing give you a mostly open feel, but the partitions themselves are more visually striking.
Glass Styles for Walls, Partitions, and Screens
A wide range of glass styles can be used in the creation of room dividers. This allows you to customize the appearance and level of privacy offered by each wall or screen.
| Clear and ultra clear | These provide a physical barrier but keep the look of an open concept space. Transparent dividers can be effective tools in maintaining staff accountability. |
| Acid etched | This glass has a “frosted” look and obscures vision. Its neutral appearance coordinates with many styles, and it provides some privacy. |
| Patterned | Textured glass is available in many patterns and designs. Like acid-etched glass, it lets light pass through but creates more private spaces. |
| Back painted | White back painted glass is fully opaque, making it a great choice when you want to achieve privacy and a clean, modern feel. |
| Glass alternative | Screens and dividers can also be made of polycarbonate or acrylic sheets for a glass-like appearance with enhanced durability. |
You may wish to use various types of glass within one commercial space, and this is not a problem when you work with a custom glass shop.
Why Employees Love Glass Partition Walls
Interior office glass wall
Glass partition walls have become a popular choice when it comes to office remodels. For the employer, glass partition walls increase productivity, require little maintenance, reduce energy bills, and boost employee morale. Employees enjoy glass partition walls too! Installing glass partition walls in the workplace can:
Keep the noise down. Glass partition walls do a great job of reducing noise in the office. Employees won’t hear a meeting across the hall, a phone conversation from their cubemate, or any other distracting sounds with these partitions. This can help them focus and feel more productive.
Let in natural light. With glass partition walls, an abundance of light can enter the office allowing all employees to have the experience of an “office with a window.” Natural light gives employees their daily dose of Vitamin D, which can help improve their mood. In addition, natural light has been shown to have health benefits for employees, reducing eye strain and preventing headaches.
Provide a modern look. Glass partition walls are a sleek design element that makes an office seem elegant and professional, in addition to making it seem larger. An aesthetically pleasing office space helps workers feel good about their place of employment and keeps them motivated as they come to work each day.
Make the workplace safer. Glass partition walls are effective in reducing the spread of infection among employees. They also can be used to create more individual workspaces that are easier to keep clean.
Foster a connected environment. It’s easier for employees to feel connected with their coworkers in an office utilizing glass partition walls. Communication among employees improves with glass partition walls as they can see into each other’s workspaces. This creates a more engaged workplace.
