Installation of glass partitions begins first of all , with a careful calculation of the dimensions of the structure under the desired parameters, since the process does not involve re-processing of glass cloth.

The necessary installation conditions are:

  • the presence of a clean floor,
  • the places where the glass partitions will move,
  • the appearance of a decorated opening,
  • compliance with the absolute parallelism of the upper part of the opening and the floor,
  • ensuring a single plane of the walls that are around the opening.

When mounting partitions with a pattern, it is necessary to withstand the overall composition using a certain number of panels. If the glass partition is large or radial, finishing work must be carried out to a very high quality.

Now in the interior of apartments glass partitions look organically and habitually, but before they were installed exclusively in office space.

Glass partitions make it possible to achieve the impossible: at the same time isolate themselves from those around them and be close to household members. Glass partitions in families with small children are particularly convenient, since the transparency of the partition will allow you to see what is happening behind it, whether there is a reason for worrying. Such partitions will allow you to find a lot of new solutions in the ways of original interior design.

Glass partitions with point lights look very stylish, they allow you to simulate different areas of space (read about the zoning methods in this article), focus on some objects and distract from others. Visual weightlessness and transparency of the partitions will transfer this effect to the whole room. However, it should be remembered that the partitions are made of tempered glass and can be installed even in children, without fear for the safety of the child. If a partition made of triplex glass, for example, is still broken, it will break not into small sharp fragments, but into large ones with rounded edges - it is impossible to get hurt much.
