Glass Partitioning Components Overview

Your glass partitioning kit includes 5 main components, each designed for easy installation. Whether you're installing office glass partitioning or home glass partitioning, the process is the same:

1. U Channel Track - The Framework for Glass Partitioning

The aluminium U channel creates the perimeter frame for your glass partitioning system. Available in multiple widths to accommodate different glass thicknesses. Glass partitioning tracks are supplied in 3-metre lengths for easy transport.

Installation: Mark your glass partitioning position on floor, walls and ceiling. Cut U channel to size using a hacksaw or chop saw. Drill pilot holes and fix securely with appropriate screws (not supplied - use fixings suitable for your wall/floor type). Countersink screws to prevent damage to your glass partitioning.

2. Glass Panels - The Core of Glass Partitioning

Our glass partitioning panels are 10mm or 12mm toughened safety glass, manufactured to exact dimensions. Each glass partitioning panel is quality checked and delivered with protective packaging.

Installation: Once your U channel frame is secure, carefully lift glass partitioning panels into position. For larger glass partitioning installations, slide panels through the door opening. Use packers in the base channel to level each panel perfectly vertical. Check your glass partitioning alignment with a spirit level.

3. Partition Joints - Seamless Glass Partitioning Connections

Join your glass partitioning panels invisibly using either self-adhesive dry joints or clear silicone wet joints (both supplied).

Installation: For dry joints in glass partitioning, simply peel and stick to clean glass edges. For wet joints, apply a neat bead of clear silicone between panels. Both methods create professional glass partitioning finishes.

4. Rubber Gasket - Secure Glass Partitioning Fixings

Wedge-shaped rubber gaskets lock your glass partitioning panels firmly in place without drilling or bonding.

Installation: With glass partitioning panels positioned and joined, push rubber gasket into the U channel gap on both sides simultaneously. This requires two people for best results. The gasket expands to grip both glass and channel, securing your glass partitioning.

5. Glass Partitioning Doors - Stylish Access Solutions

Our glass partitioning doors feature hydraulic self-closing mechanisms and can be installed for left or right opening. Each door in your glass partitioning system requires a 910mm opening (for standard 900mm door).

Install the U channel pivot point directly above
Attach metal patches to top and bottom of glass door
Lift door onto floor plate, engaging the square pin

Glass Partitioning Installation Tips

Planning: Measure twice, cut once. Check your glass partitioning measurements against our calculator before ordering.

Safety: Always handle glass partitioning panels with appropriate equipment. Panels can weigh 25-50kg each.

Precision: Take time to ensure your U channel is perfectly level - this makes glass partitioning installation much easier.

Support: Have helpers ready when installing glass partitioning panels. Two people minimum for safe installation.
