Private or open plan office? It’s a question that leaves many designers and architects scratching their heads.
At Gravity Office Interiors, we’ve found the answer: glass partitioning. With this type of office partition, you can experience the best of both worlds. Experience a flexible workspace whilst maintaining a modern, open plan design.
Glass Walls: A Clearer Vision
A type of office partitioning, internal glass walls are built with panes of non-load bearing glass. They’re typically used to divide meeting rooms or departments. Unlike solid walls, they optimise natural light for a brighter workspace.
From better acoustics to boosted wellbeing, benefits are enjoyed by businesses across many different industries:
- Corporate
- Retail
- Hospitality
- Education
- Healthcare
- Leisure
Deciding the Glass Partition for Your Space

- Single Glazed Glass Walls

- Acoustic Glazed Glass Walls
- Banded Glass Walls
- Curved Glass Walls
We’ve only scratched the surface. Our deep-rooted industry connections mean we can offer a variety of glazed walls to meet the needs of your workplace.
Single Glazed Glass Partitioning
Working with a smaller budget? Single glazed glass walls are an affordable solution that won’t compromise on quality. Divide needed office space and create bright, airy environments without the price tag.
Double Glazed Glass Partitioning
A step up in performance, double glazed partitions offer better sound insulation than their single glazed alternatives. With double glazed glass, you can also install integrated blinds to create privacy for meetings while keeping a clean, minimalist office design.
Acoustic Glass Partitioning
If private meetings are your gig, try acoustic glass for the perfect ‘soundproof’ space. Through this type of glass partition wall, loud conversations can’t be heard. It’s also available with single glazed, double glazed or banded options to combine practicality and creativity.
Banded Glass Partitioning
Framed glass partitions offer an industrial design that we’ve seen take over our offices. Creative media, marketing and PR offices particularly favour the ‘Soho’ style. It complements original building features such as brickwork with an aluminium framework and UPVC bars that give the glass wall a framed finish.
Curved Glass Partitioning
Stand out from the crowd with curved glass partitioning. This system can be incorporated into your office as a standalone feature or a series of curves to create a glass office that will leave a great lasting impression.
Benefits of Glass Partitioning
Trying to decide between office glass partition walls and modular walls? Here are a few benefits of glass to help with decisions:
- Privacy – Create private rooms for meetings. Acoustic glass ensures that conversations can’t be overheard outside the glass office, and limits noise interruptions inside.
- Versatility – Have you been putting off updating your office? Glass walls are a versatile option for you. They’re assembled and disassembled in no time – without any structural modifications. This is ideal if you’re a growing business looking to relocate in the future.
- Natural Light – The transparency of glass walls allows more natural light into your office. This creates an open, airy space that cultivates productivity. You can also reduce potential health risks associated with fluorescent office lighting.
- Wellbeing – With optimised light comes a bunch of benefits for your team! Not only do glass wall partitions create a collaborative, social work environment to improve teamwork and reduce loneliness, but they can also help connect your employees with the plethora of joys found in nature.
- Office Design – Glass complements nearly every office design. One of the best features is the ability to enjoy both an open plan and private workplace. The transparency of glass creates open space, whereas its physical structure and acoustic properties ensure you provide supportive spaces for your team.
