Glass partitions

High quality glass tubing and panels for partition walls in offices and new buildings provide a great-looking and long-lasting option for designers, as well as a welcoming environment for employees and visitors.

The elegance and strength of glass partitions

Glass is a popular choice for partition walls in offices, as well as architectural structures in modern buildings. In the office, it can give a cramped multi-room space a creative and open atmosphere while still providing privacy where required. In architecture, it can form bright, memorable features that welcome visitors and make employees proud. Alongside its esthetic advantages, a range of different properties deliver strength, durability, and safety for a long-lasting look.
