Interior glazed partition walls are technologically advanced products that allow spaces to be divided for acoustic separation while permitting visual transparency. Glazed partition wall systems are typically installed in commercial office spaces though are often also specified for residential projects.
The characteristics of glazed partition walls depend on their intended dimensions and functions. Products achieving maximum transparency come without vertical profiles and can appear practically seamless, with supports located at ceilings and floors alone. Other systems are produced with ever-slimmer profiles in steel, aluminum and wood with various finish options. The frames may support single or double glazing, depending on acoustic requirements and panel size or the need for smoke and fire separation. Most partition wall systems offer options for swing or sliding doors and opaque panel inserts for increased privacy. Some products even offer privacy 'smartglass' solutions that implement electro-chromatic technologies to interchange between transparent and opaque states.
These are 25 of Archello’s most popular and innovative interior glazed partition wall manufacturers specified by architects and designers.
