Glass partitioning can be fixed or movable, and comes in various styles including frameless or framed designs. Modern glass partitioning systems often incorporate advanced acoustic properties and can be customised with decorative finishes.
What is the Difference Between Laminated and Toughened Glass?
Laminated and toughened glass offer distinct performance characteristics when used in partitioning systems. Laminated glass provides superior sound insulation, making it ideal for creating quiet spaces in open-plan offices. It also offers UV protection.
Toughened glass, while less effective for soundproofing, is highly impact-resistant. It is suitable for high-traffic areas such as office partitions where durability is crucial. Laminated glass maintains its structure when broken, preventing shards from falling.
Upon breaking, toughened glass crumbles into small, less harmful pieces. It is often used in areas where thermal stress is a concern. Both types can be customised with various finishes, but laminated glass allows for more design flexibility between its layers.
Can Toughened Glass Be Cut to Size?
Once you place an order, the manufacturer can cut toughened glass to size and ready for efficient installation. Provide exact measurements when placing your order.
Once tempered, toughened glass cannot be altered. Our suppliers ensure accurate toughened glass cut to size dimensions before glass strengthening. Custom-sized toughened glass is delivered ready for immediate installation, streamlining your timeline.
