Technical Requirements For Glass Partitions
Safe Design To Exacting Standards
The idea of having glass partitions rather than traditional walls in a building doesn’t sound like the most robust – or safe – option for a busy living or working environment, but that perception couldn’t be further from the truth. When designed and constructed by experienced professionals, glass walls are every bit as tough and resilient as a wall made of more traditional material.
At Innovative Aluminium and Glass we use only the highest quality materials. Our glass office partitions are made from laminated safety glass materials that assures their robustness and long-term safety. The manufacturing of this material so that it is safe for use in buildings is achieved by placing thin polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layers on to the glass surface, which ensures that even in the event that the glass breaks, the lamination prevents the glass from becoming a hazard. For this reason this technology has become standard for glass partitions, and you should never install glass walls that don’t make use of the lamination process.
Most people want privacy, and it is possible for glass partitions to also be tinted and soundproofed in order to both enhance the aesthetic look of the glass (tinted or frosted glass), and ensure privacy, by being thick enough to block sound from leaking through.
Of course, our friendly team of experts at Innovative Aluminium and Glass are on-hand at all times to work with you to realise your goals with glass partitions. We will walk you through the various thickness and design options for you, and from there help you realise the glass partition solution that will meet your desire for privacy while conforming to the exacting Australian standards to ensure the safety of yourself, as well as your employees, co-workers, and family.
