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.
