Full-height glass partition in an office

Glass partition

Aluminium U-profiles, on the floor, at the side or on the wall. Indoors and outdoors.

The product

Divide without closing

A glass partition does not take space: it divides it.

Swiss Made glazing: made in Switzerland by our partner glassmaker, installed by our own teams.

A glass partition divides a space without closing it off: an office in an open floor, a bedroom in a loft, a windbreak on a balcony. The system holds the glass in aluminium U-profiles, mounted on the floor, at the side or on the wall — with no intermediate post and no transom at eye level.

The system is prefabricated. Depending on the profile, it takes glass from 10 to 21.52 mm, and the profiles come in 2.5 or 5 m lengths. Ceiling height goes up to 3.0 m, and glass width starts at 1000 mm.

As soon as there is a drop behind — a mezzanine, a stairwell opening, a balcony — the partition acts as fall protection, and the rules tighten: max. load 1.0 kN/m, in 16.76, 17.52 or 21.52 mm laminated glass. The system is fitted indoors and outdoors alike: separation over several floors, windbreak on a balcony or terrace.

The system arrives prefabricated, which moves the work to the right place. On a glass partition, the time goes not into the hardware but into the substrate: it is never flat, and a 3 m pane that follows a wavy ceiling shows from the other end of the room. We survey the level along the whole length before ordering the glass.

Choosing your profile

Three profiles, a single family: floor, side or wall. The choice follows the substrate, then the thickness — and as soon as there is a drop behind the partition, the glass becomes 16.76, 17.52 or 21.52 mm laminated.

The loads shown are those the system is approved for. Final sizing depends on the use of the space and the wind pressure at the site — that is what we check during the survey.

Finish

The finishes

The profile is the only visible element of the work. It comes mill finish, natural anodised, powder-coated gloss, textured or matt, and in ARMOR, pre-anodised then powder-coated. Coated in the exact colour of the floor or ceiling, it disappears altogether.

The glass carries the rest: clear, low-iron, acid-etched, sandblasted, screen-printed or tinted. In offices the most frequent request remains an etched band at eye level — it deals with overlooking without making the partition opaque, and above all it performs the marking function: a full-height clear glass wall with no marking gets walked into.

Drawn before it is installed

Every piece starts from a workshop drawing dimensioned to the half-millimetre. That is what guarantees a true line once on site.

Frequently asked questions

About glass partition

01How high can you go?

Up to 3.0 m of ceiling height, with a glass width of at least 1000 mm.

02Does it count as a balustrade?

Yes, if it is designed for it: for fall protection, the max. load is 1.0 kN/m, in 16.76, 17.52 or 21.52 mm laminated glass, with a glass width of at least 1000 mm. In Switzerland, fall protection falls under SIA 358, and height and load are checked before the glass is ordered.

03What is the difference between a dividing partition and one admitted where there is a risk of falling?

A dividing partition holds no one back: it divides a floor. The one admitted where there is a risk of falling takes a horizontal load and plays the role of a balustrade — mezzanine, stairwell opening, open landing. Here it is the same profiles, but with 16.76, 17.52 or 21.52 mm laminated glass and a max. load of 1.0 kN/m. Thickness, load and fixing are sized at the survey.

04Can a glass partition be installed outdoors?

Yes: the system is suitable indoors and outdoors — windbreak on a balcony or terrace, or separation over several floors.

05Does a glass partition provide sound insulation?

It attenuates, it does not insulate on its own. The reduction depends on the thickness, on the laminate interlayer and above all on the sealing of the perimeter: three millimetres of gap at the head cancels out the gain from thicker glass. If acoustic reduction is a requirement of the brief, it is fixed with the client before the glass is chosen, not after installation.

06Does the glass have to be marked?

Yes. A full-height clear glass wall must be identifiable at eye level: an etched band, screen printing, or applied film. This is not a decorative decision but a requirement of safety in use, and it is the first comment you will get at the handover of a commercial space.

07How do you take up a ceiling that is not flat?

That requires knowing the actual deviation: we survey the level along the whole length before ordering, because a pane cut too short cannot be lengthened. What is not done is filling the gap with silicone — it shows, and it does not hold.

08Can it be installed on a heated screed?

Without drilling the floor, the side or wall profile takes over from the floor profile. It is a survey decision: it is made before the order, not on installation day.

09Can a glass partition be dismantled?

The glass is cut to the room's dimensions: refitting it elsewhere means recutting, which means reordering the glass. This is not modular partitioning, and it is better to know that before fitting out a floor you plan to re-divide.

10What are the lead times?

The profiles come in 2.5 or 5 m lengths; lead times are confirmed with the order. Made-to-measure glass, with any surface treatment, remains the item that sets the installation date.

11What does an installed glass partition cost?

Pricing follows the survey, in CHF. What moves it: the height and number of panels, the glass type and its treatment, the version chosen — simple division or restraint at 1.0 kN/m — the state of the ceiling, and the access for handling 3 m panels in an occupied building. That last point weighs more than people expect.

12Are the systems certified?

The system documents for the chosen thickness and configuration come with the quote.
