Glass partitions divide internal spaces to create separate rooms within a large area. Using glass instead of installing solid walls is an excellent way to maximise the amount of natural sunlight in the overall space and create a bright and airy atmosphere. It is also a solution to maintaining the benefits of an open-plan space despite sectioning areas off for different purposes, such as meeting rooms and work booths. There are a number of different types of glass partitions to choose from, allowing you to select the glass partition that best meets the demands of your commercial space. Read on to discover our three most popular types of commercial glass partitions and determine which type is right for you.

Frameless Partitioning

Frameless partitions are a versatile and visually stunning variety of glass partitioning. They are highly customisable and suitable for even the most demanding of spaces given their enhanced structural performance. Namely, these partitions can reach a height of up to 3.6 metres and have an excellent load-baring capacity.

Frameless partitions also have excellent acoustic ratings, which is an important consideration for office spaces in regard to employee privacy, productivity, and wellbeing. Komfort frameless partitions are available in both a single and double glazed partition system, giving you the option to increase the acoustic protection of your partitions without compromising on their signature streamline design.

The beauty of a frameless partition is not just its technical attributes; they also boast an inspired, minimalist design with an intrinsic focus on creating and enhancing the aesthetic beauty of your commercial space.

Framed Partitioning

Framed partitioning is a visually striking partitioning option which grants you the freedom to get creative with designing impressive and inspiring commercial environments. All our partitions have a slimline design and are highly flexible in terms of design, including the option to incorporate both glass and solid panels into your design brief. This enables you to maximise the amount of natural sunlight in your environment, but still gives you the option to create fully private spaces according to the needs of your commercial space.

Framed partitions are a great choice for commercial spaces with angular or radiused profiles due to their versatility. Just like frameless partitions, framed partitions have brilliant acoustic ratings, making them ideal for keeping sound to a minimum.

Fire Rated Partitioning

Komfort has a continued commitment to providing specialised fire rated partitioning solutions to meet the most stringent fire and safety regulations for commercial and industrial buildings. Our fire rated partitioning and glass fire screens meet very high standards of fire safety, whilst also offering a flexible and visually stunning design solution for dividing a commercial space.

Whilst fire rated partitions are another type of partition used for dividing up a commercial space and creating separate areas within an open-plan layout, they also fulfil the fire safety concept of compartmentation. This refers to subdividing a building with fire-resistant materials, such as fire-rated partitions, to control and slow the spread of a fire. Komfort offers partition systems providing up to 120 minutes of fire resistance for partition walls and up to 90 minutes for doors.
