Choosing the right approach
Interior glazing can separate a study, enclose a shower or divide a suite while retaining a sense of openness. Define privacy, door movement, cleaning access and the desired degree of enclosure before choosing clear, patterned or translucent glass. The specialist should specify the appropriate glass, hardware and fixings for the application. Accurate final measurements are particularly important where existing walls or floors are not square.
What the specification should cover
- Privacy and glass appearance
- Door swing or sliding clearance
- Specialist glass and hardware specification
- Final measurement of finished openings
- Cleaning access and wet-area junctions
A transparent wall still needs a detailed brief
Describe what the screen should do as well as how it should look. A shower enclosure needs different junctions from a study partition. Position handles where they can be reached comfortably, check collisions with nearby doors and allow enough space to clean both sides of fixed panels.
Questions about interior glass partitions & shower screens
When should bespoke shower glass be measured?
Coordinate the timing with the glass specialist. Final sizes usually depend on the completed surfaces and the actual hardware arrangement. Agree which finishes must be ready before measurement and keep the manufacturing lead time in the bathroom programme.
