Description
Interior glass walls and partitions, previously typical for office spaces, have recently become increasingly common in the design of living spaces. An interior detail such as a glass wall is often used to separate the space between the bedroom and the bathroom. Or the bathroom and the toilet, the kitchen and the dining room, the living room, and the private office. As a rule, ordinary sheet glass or glass blocks are used as a material. They can be completely transparent, matte, colored, and decorated with various patterns applied using sandblasting, photo printing, and other methods.
This interior element is used by interior designers when decorating houses and apartments in the high-tech, modern, or minimalist style. Glass walls in interiors look light and original. They also allow you to solve many problems associated with the lack of free space and lighting.
Glass walls in interior spaces visually expand the space and increase luminosity. Over time, glass walls have expanded their range by taking advantage of their use outdoors.
Large windows in the living and dining rooms with views to the outside, or even in light-filled bedrooms, these walls have revolutionized interior design. And increased the possibilities for decoration and included landscapes as part of it.
We find full glass panels from floor to ceiling, folding glass walls, and hybrid mixes between walls and glass sections. This trend has styles and helps to make spaces more spacious, helping connect with nature and the outdoors. Whether in office cubicles, indoors in the garden, or dividing spaces within your home. Below, we tell you why glass walls will trend.
The main types of glass walls used in interiors
Today, glass walls used in the interior of private houses and apartments can have different designs, that is, be:
Clear Glass
Are you interested in zoning the room? Do you want to visually increase the area of a room? Are you afraid that you can lose a significant part of daylight? We offer an optimal and modern solution to the above issues – a transparent glass partition.
The main material of modern office interiors is glass. Moreover, it can be tinted in bulk (bronze or gray), lightened, and with coloring (single-color or a gradient). However, transparent glass is most often used. It makes it possible to divide the space into zones, but not hide or create visual barriers.
Frosted Glass
Frosted glass has an unusual structure and is used where maximum transparency is not a priority or is completely inappropriate. Its main task is to diffuse daylight coming from outside and limit visibility for prying eyes. Partitions, entrance structures, and decorative elements of this material will look advantageous in any interior space. Frosted glass products ennoble facades, equip living areas, and decorate offices. To create a unique design, all that remains is to decide on the texture, shade, degree of transparency, and the presence of additional patterns.
Lacquered Interior Glass Walls
Colored lacquered glass is a type painted with a special paint or lacquer mainly used for interior decoration. It is formed from float or annealed glass (commonly known as ‘ float ‘) and one of its faces is painted with a special paint or lacquer. Depending on the finishes, this type of glass can be translucent (to let light through) or opaque (to prevent the entry of light completely), and can also be vitrified.
Normally, lacquered glass is used to create white and colored spaces, which are striking and attractive as they provide a lot of brightness, luminosity, and color to the environment in which they are located. In this sense, they are especially used to cover kitchens, bathrooms, table tops, room dividers, cupboard doors, and countless other interior spaces due to their modern design.
Tinted Glass
It is a normal transparent float glass to which molten dyes are added to tint it and obtain solar radiation absorption properties. This reduces heat penetration into buildings.
By absorbing a portion of the sun’s energy, colored glass reduces the heat penetrating the building. This helps to keep interiors cooler and can contribute to energy savings by reducing the need for air conditioning. While traditionally used for exterior facades to enhance a building’s aesthetic appeal, colored glass is increasingly finding its way into interior applications. It can be used for partitions, doors, and decorative elements, adding a touch of color and style while offering the same solar control benefits.
Laminated Interior Glass Walls
Over the years it has been noted that the most commonly used materials for building homes have varied. In new home designs laminated glass usually cannot be missing because it protects people’s well-being, in addition to the fact that its use is very varied giving more points in its favor.
It is important to know that laminated glass is a type of safety glass with two or more layers of glass and is very resistant. But in the event of a great impact, it can break into pieces that remain attached to the PVB sheet. Thus avoiding the risk of causing injuries if it breaks, which is very beneficial.
Home interior designers and architects are including laminated glass in their designs. Because its use in buildings provides elegance, innovation, unique style, and even versatility, as it can be used in different ways both outside and inside homes. And always adds a truly spectacular aesthetic touch.
However, one of the most attractive aspects of incorporating laminated glass in new home designs is that it adapts very easily to each location and style of home. It can be placed in: windows of any size, as railings for stairs, balconies, or terraces, elevators, aquariums, bathroom screens, security doors, dividing glass walls, display cases, and so on.
Mirrored Glass
Reflective glass has been designed to be both functional and aesthetic. It is produced using CVD (chemical vapor deposition) technology, creating a reflective pyrolytic layer on the glass, which produces a “mirror” effect. With this effect, the glass has a different aesthetic, reducing solar and heat transmission. In addition, with its reflective effect, it provides comfort as it reflects light so that there is no glare but allows enough light to enter a suitable environment. It is highly durable as it is highly resistant to scratches.
Etched Interior Glass Walls
Etched glass comprises a wide variety of models, designed to create a sophisticated environment. Geometric patterns are printed on the surface of the glass.
For this reason, the wide range of patterns opens up a new dimension for creativity and interior enhancement. The unique attributes of this glass allow architects and designers to create interiors with remarkable effects on aesthetics.
As a result, its aesthetic characteristics make it the ideal glass for application in various architectural projects such as Facades, Windows, Stained Glass, Doors, and Internal Divisions, among others.
Framed interior glass wall partitions
Framed interior glass wall partitions offer a sleek and modern way to divide office spaces while maintaining an open and airy feel.
The aluminum frames provide structural support and visual definition, while the glass panels allow natural light to flow through the space. These partitions come in various styles, from single-glazed to double-glazed for enhanced sound insulation. They can be customized with different frame finishes, and glass types (clear, frosted, or patterned). And even integrated blinds for added privacy.
Frame partitions can become an indispensable option for the interior design of a house, apartment, or office, as there are many ideas for their functional use:
- the main purpose of frame partitions for a house is the ability to divide the space inside the building to create several separate rooms that are convenient for use for various purposes (for living, working, etc.);
- at the same time, this type of construction is very important in the process of uniform distribution of moisture and heat inside the building. Because partitions help maintain a comfortable microclimate on the premises;
- Another important factor that ensures a high level of comfort in the room is the soundproofing qualities of frame partitions. By fencing off individual parts of the room with their help, you can create a cozy, calm atmosphere in them.
Frameless glass partitions
Frameless glass partitions are structures made of solid glass and fill the space from floor to ceiling. The structures are used for zoning premises when the construction of capital walls is not cost-effective. With the help of such systems, offices and shopping malls allocate separate retail areas and offices, sanitary zones, etc.
The production of frameless partitions is carried out using the following components:
- glass canvas;
- clamping profile that fixes it;
- fastenings.
Adjacent sheets are placed with a gap of 1–3 mm without joints. If the structure is more than 3 m high, connectors are installed between the sheets.
Frameless glass partitions are made of tempered glass or triplex. After tempering, the material acquires additional strength and increased heat resistance. Glass can be matte, colored, tinted, or decorated with ornaments, patterns, logos, etc.
Additionally, systems can be equipped with:
- ceiling-mounted structures, relevant for suspended ceilings;
- stainless steel supporting columns.
Installation of frameless interior glass wall partitions
We design and install several types of all-glass systems:
- stationary – attached to the floor and ceiling with point clamps;
- mobile – consists of several modules that can be easily dismantled and moved to a new location;
- transformable – can be sliding or folding, suitable for quick zoning of space.
Advantages of interior glass walls
They provide spaciousness

Interior glass walls divide spaces
You can divide residential and corporate areas with glass walls to provide privacy and order without altering the initial design. This will help you maintain integral but independent spaces.
They are a good source of ventilation
By having walls with windows or doors you will be able to enjoy the ventilation that they offer. Even though the heat from the light filters through, the glass will help keep the space cool but bright.
They allow the entry of natural light
Another advantage of glass walls is the high level of luminosity that this represents. The natural light that enters the house has many advantages. It can be used and help save energy. And if you have plants, they benefit more than you think.
Interior glass walls connection to the outdoors and nature
Having a large space increases your productivity. But having contact with nature multiplies this. Whether you live in a rural area where your view is full of trees, near the beach, or even in an urban area, this factor can benefit you. Having visibility to the sky or natural elements, your mentality will change and help you in several ways.
Glass walls improve eyesight
Interior glass walls can positively impact well-being, which can indirectly affect eyesight. By maximizing natural light and offering views of the outdoors, glass walls can reduce eye strain, improve mood, and regulate circadian rhythms, all of which contribute to overall health.
Access to natural light and views can also create a more stimulating and engaging environment, potentially reducing fatigue and promoting a sense of openness. However, it’s important to note that glass walls alone won’t directly improve eyesight, and proper eye care and regular checkups are still crucial.
Interior glass block partitions
A glass block is a product with a hermetically sealed cavity of two pressed half-blocks. The area of application of glass blocks is construction and interior decoration. Glass blocks are not used in the construction of load-bearing walls but in partitions and in finishing works as decorative elements. They fit well into any interior and emphasize its uniqueness and individuality.
A wall made of glass blocks can be an excellent interior design solution. Glass, despite its fragility, makes a very strong decorative structure. To build a glass block partition, you need to design it first. At the same time, take into account that glass blocks cannot be cut or sawn, since they then lose their strength. This means that the width of the wall should be equal to the length of one block. At the same time, a beam is prepared from which a frame for the future structure will be made. The frame will give the wall rigidity. The beam is selected so that its width is equal to the width of the glass block.
Then the frame is built. It is attached to the floor and the ceiling. If the wall is to stand at a certain height, then horizontal beams are also installed.
Mounting the interior glass wall
For this, you will need glue or a bonding solution. If the wall is installed in a room with high humidity, it makes sense to use silicate waterproof sealants. The process of installing glass blocks is similar to the process of laying a wall with ceramic tiles.
First, the bottom layer of blocks is laid out. To do this, a layer of bonding solution is applied to the floor, and a spacer is placed in the corner. This tool is a special crosspiece that holds the masonry level. The first glass block is installed on the spacer, which must be pressed from above and pressed against the wall. The next block and all the others are installed similarly, not forgetting to install the next spacer. When the first row of glass blocks is ready, it is necessary to wipe them with a rag to remove excess adhesive solution and check whether the row is installed evenly using a building level. It is also worth measuring the subsequent rows.
Block masonry can be reinforced
To increase the strength of the structure, the block masonry can be reinforced with iron rods. To do this, the glass blocks need to be drilled with a drill at low speed. So that the glass does not break. It should be moistened – the future hole is fenced with sides of chewing gum or mortar, and water is poured inside. For the best result, every second or third row of glass blocks should be reinforced.
If you plan to build a glass wall up to the ceiling, then after every six rows are laid out, you need to give the bonding solution time to set. Excess mortar should be removed from the glass blocks immediately. After finishing the work on laying the wall with glass blocks, it is necessary to wash it and polish it with a woolen cloth.
