These partitions create a contemporary office design that adds value to any office space. They also assist in creating a better image for both the current and prospective clients. Frameless single panes add more to the office décor.

Others come as sliding doors and demountable walls. These partitions are also ideal for use as dividers in both residential and commercial properties.

 

Framed Glass Dividers (Single Glazed)

Framed single pane glass dividers have dominated the market for many years. They’re affordable, easy to install, and can be customized, making them a great choice for dividing any office space.

Framed single pane partitions are more durable and affordable than the frameless option. However, framed glazing is less attractive than frameless ones. Frames make the glass appear bulkier, thereby making it less attractive than the frameless option.

However, they’re more bulky and expensive than framed single glazing. Nevertheless, they’re a great choice due to their soundproofing property.
