iQ Single

The iQ Single: minimalist single-glazed partition system for architectural clarity

In contemporary architecture, transparency is no longer merely an aesthetic preference; it is a fundamental design principle that shapes how people experience space. The iQ Single is a single-glazed partition developed to support this architectural ambition by offering maximum visual openness with a minimum of visual obstruction. Designed for architects who value clarity, rhythm and spatial continuity, iQ Single enables refined interior concepts in which light, structure and function coexist in balance.

The iQ Single is a fully glazed partition with a distinctive 0-joint detailing, resulting in uninterrupted glass surfaces and a calm, minimalist expression. The profile height is always the minimalistic 33 mm. The system combines the elegance of a glass façade with the adaptability of a demountable partition, making it suitable for a wide variety of contemporary interior environments such as offices, public buildings, educational facilities and cultural spaces.

Architectural minimalism with maximum spatial impact

The strength of iQ Single lies in its minimalism. Slim aluminium profiles of 33 mm high, flush glass connections and transparent joints allow the partition to visually dissolve into the space it defines. Instead of dominating the interior, iQ Single acts as a subtle architectural layer that structures spaces while preserving openness and daylight.

The absence of visible vertical joints enhances the perception of continuity and scale, supporting long sightlines and spatial coherence. This makes the iQ Single particularly suitable for open-plan layouts where subdivision is required without compromising the overall architectural concept. The system supports a wide range of layouts, from linear partitions to corners and T-connections, allowing architects to articulate space with precision and consistency.

By reducing visual noise, iQ Single creates interiors that feel calm, ordered and timeless; qualities that are increasingly valued in high-quality architectural design.

Flexibility embedded in the system design

While the visual language of iQ Single is deliberately minimal, the system itself is technically versatile. It is designed as a demountable and reusable concept, enabling interior layouts to evolve over time. This flexibility supports modern building concepts where adaptability, changeability and long-term usability are key design criteria.

The system is available in multiple glass thicknesses, allowing architects to select the appropriate configuration based on acoustic requirements, structural conditions or aesthetic preferences.

Moreover, the iQ Single can be easily combined with other QbiQ partitions, such as the iQ Structural double-glazed wall or the iQ PRO closed partitions, making it possible to create varied spatial compositions while maintaining a cohesive architectural language. 

Integrated door solutions without visual disruption

Doors play a crucial role in the perception and functionality of interior partitions. In the iQ Single, door elements are conceived as an integral part of the overall design rather than as separate components. The system offers a broad range of door types, including full glass doors, aluminium-framed glass doors, timber doors and steel doors, each carefully detailed to align visually with the glass partitions.

Door frames are slim and precise, ensuring that transitions remain clean and smooth. Whether architects choose hinged, sliding or pivot doors, the result is always a coherent design in which movement through space feels natural. This level of integration allows the iQ Single to support both aesthetic refinement and functional performance.

A system designed for circular architecture

Sustainability is not an add-on in the iQ Single system; it is an integral part of its design philosophy. The system is developed with a strong focus on circularity, material health and lifecycle performance. All components are designed to be demounted, reused or reconfigured, extending the functional lifespan of the system and reducing the need for new materials.

The iQ Single holds a Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver certification, demonstrating compliance with internationally recognised sustainability standards across areas such as material health, material reutilisation, renewable energy use, water stewardship and social fairness.

In addition, glass used in the system is produced with attention to waste reduction, making use of remainders from the glass cutting process wherever possible. Production processes are organised efficiently to minimise energy consumption, transport movements and material waste. This makes the iQ Single a responsible choice for architects who prioritise sustainable and future-proof design solutions.

Supporting healthy and productive interiors

Beyond environmental performance, the iQ Single contributes to healthy indoor environments. The extensive use of glass enhances daylight availability, supporting visual comfort and wellbeing for building users. At the same time, only materials that meet strict requirements for health and safety are used in the production process, ensuring a safe and pleasant indoor climate.

In work and learning environments, these qualities translate into spaces that feel open yet controlled, stimulating yet calm; conditions that positively influence productivity, concentration and overall user experience.

A tool for architectural expression

Ultimately, the iQ Single is more than a technical concept. It is a design tool that enables architects to express spatial ideas with clarity and precision. Whether used to subtly divide open-plan offices, define meeting rooms within transparent volumes or create layered interiors with varying degrees of openness, the iQ Single supports architectural intent rather than constraining it.

Its minimalist detailing, system flexibility and sustainable credentials make the iQ Single a versatile solution for projects that demand both aesthetic refinement and technical reliability. Highly suitable for architects seeking a single-glazed partition system that aligns with contemporary architectural values; openness, adaptability and responsibility. The iQ Single offers a clear and elegant solution.
