Options for providing privacy to glazed partitions

The advantages of acoustic glass partitions are widely recognised. They are a cost effective and attractive way of zoning areas without compromising on visibility and accessibility.

However, many projects still require an element of privacy in certain areas for confidential presentations or to minimize visual distractions during meetings.

Installing internal glazed partitions in a space where privacy is required may seem like a paradox, but there are a number of ways that visual privacy can be provided for glazed partitions, without compromising their functionality and aesthetics.

Manifestation

We offer a huge range of specialty films that can be applied to the glass to obscure vision without effecting the amount of natural light entering the room. Ranging from a simple frosted horizontal band to a reeded glass effect, or a bespoke design that communicates the company branding, our expert installers will ensure the highest quality finish. The addition of horizontal crittall bars often improves the integrity of the design intent.

Switchable Glass

Switchable privacy glass turns from clear to opaque at the flick of a switch. An electric current adjusts the appearance of the glass depending on the occupant's needs. There are a wide range of control options available including wall switches, remote control, timers or any proprietary room control system. Furthermore, an option of switchable blackout glass, which blocks over 99% of light transmission when activated, is also available. The design possibilities are endless!

Reeded Glass

The distorted makeup of this specialty glass provides a good level of visual privacy and provides a distinctive retro style, especially when combined with crittall bars to give a classy industrial look.

Sheer Curtains

Curtains have become increasingly popular in office interiors in recent years. The 'wave' style heading, combined with an endless array of flame retardant fabrics, will lift the look and feel of any space. Curtains also improve the acoustics of the room, both in terms of noise transfer and reducing reverberations.
