Measuring Up for A Glass Partition

Measuring for a frameless glass partition involves several steps to ensure that the partition fits properly and is installed safely. Here are the steps to follow: Determine the location: Decide where you want to install the glass partition and measure the width and height of the opening. It is important to take accurate measurements with a laser measure to ensure that the partition will fit properly. Make sure to measure in multiple locations to ensure that the opening is square. Determine the type of glass: Choose the type of glass you want for the partition, such as toughened or laminated glass, and decide on the thickness. The thickness of the glass will depend on the size of the partition and the level of safety required. As a general rule we suggest 10mm toughened glass for heights under 2600mm and 12mm toughened for heights up to 3000mm. Subtract the gap: Deduct the gap that will be required between the glass partition and the surrounding walls or ceiling to allow for the movement of the building. The gap should be at least 10mm to allow for the expansion and contraction of the glass. Consider the hardware: Choose the hardware that will be used to secure the glass partition, such as glass partition tracks, hinges, brackets or clamps. The hardware should be chosen based on the weight and size of the glass and the difference in height between the panels and the ceiling. Order the glass: Once you have taken accurate measurements and chosen the type of glass and hardware, order the glass from a reputable supplier. Make sure to provide them with accurate measurements to ensure that the glass partition fits properly. It is important to note that measuring for a frameless glass partition can be complex and may require the assistance of a professional.
