What Can Internal Glass Room Dividers Bring To The Home?
Sliding Glass Partition Doors. Glass walls have long been a staple of the modern office and many commercial spaces, but in recent years they have grown in popularity with homeowners who are choosing to elevate the interior design of their houses. This adoption of interior glass doors and glass room dividers has been a favourite in the glossy spreads of creative magazines and with interior designers paid a premium rate; but now they’re becoming more mainstream, they’re considerably more accessible. But what do industrial style glass doors and walls offer for a home? Let us explain…
Enhanced light levels
Living in the UK means that we’re prone to long, dark winters with few hours of natural light. Glass dividers between rooms allows natural light to flow through from its source across areas where it wouldn’t be able to normally, illuminating spaces as never before. This also gives the illusion of larger, more open rooms and enhances the atmosphere to be more ambient.
Visual connection and openness
Family homes are often made up of lots of connecting rooms with doors and walls in between, segregating spaces. However, they should exude openness and promote collaboration as a family unit. Installing glass room dividers maintains privacy and a level of separation but with an open plan feel and the ability to see others easily.
Acoustic management
Black framed glass doors in the home don’t completely soundproof a room but such protection is rarely needed in a house anyway. Thicker and soundproof glass allows for a degree of sound control while not keeping the home feeling too quiet or lifeless. While it’s often assumed that glass is not as effective as walls and doors at acoustic management, options are available that can provide up to 42dB of sound reduction – considerably better than cheap internal doors!
Contemporary design
Interior French doors are sleek and modern in style, providing a high-end design touch to a home that presents a considerably more contemporary look than standard walls and doors. Being able to see distinct living spaces and rooms from different angles also provides the ability to better plan a flowing interior design across all areas of the home to ‘pull together’ your desired look.
Privacy
There are some rooms that do require some privacy; but in a home most don’t want to entirely isolate a space. Frosted and tinted glass are often opted for in the case of bathrooms, bedrooms and home offices, and contribute toward the open feel of the space without compromising anyone’s integrity.
Security
When you think of glass, fragile images are often conjured to mind… and if you have children, likely of it being smashed! In Out Solutions could not be further from the genteel misconception of most. All of our glass partitions including sliding glass partition doors are made entirely bespoke to the required measurements and framed in sturdy with aluminium with 10-12mm toughened glass that won’t scratch, shatter or mark easily.
