7 ways to partition with glass
Glass comes in all forms to partition spaces. Whether it’s ribbed or hammered, resembling bricks or a glass partition, sliding or folding, in place of a wall or a door, with a wooden or colored steel frame, ribbed or hammered… Interior designers alternate aesthetics and play with different glass opacities to segment with uniqueness. The appeal of this « transparent division »? Connecting spaces, creating a room within a room, inventing spheres of privacy while allowing light to pass through. Demonstrating in 7 styles.
The wooden structure
When the "industrial glass canopy" swaps its traditional steel for wood, the entire interior transforms. The atmosphere becomes warm and comforting. This variation can be paired with transparent glass to facilitate dialogue between the different wood species.
Ribbed Glass
Ribbed glass is omnipresent in today's interiors. Architects cultivate the cold and industrial aesthetic of ribbed glass and rely on its concealing qualities. A good compromise between uniqueness and privacy.
Glass brick
The triumphant return of the 90s brick! Whether raw or colored, rectangular or square, it adds style to the interior while providing filtered light. A beautiful alternative to the concrete wall partition.
Accordion opening
To isolate the TV area at home or soundproof a meeting room in the office, accordion glazing allows for a customizable partition system as needed.
Hammered glass
If it has suffered from old-fashioned connotations, being associated with grandmother's interiors, hammered glass (also called "cathedral glass") is making a strong comeback to add a textured note to glass surfaces. When placed up close, objects appear to transform into watercolors.
The glass arch
As a door or window, the glass arch connects spaces while creating pockets of light. To maintain privacy, it can be frosted with stripes or opacity effects.
