Details and guide pricesFrameless glass partitions
A frameless glass partition is a full-height wall of toughened safety glass held only in slim head and floor channels, with the panels joined edge to edge by clear joints instead of vertical frames. It gives the most open look of any office wall while still separating rooms.
Guide price: £300 to £450 per m² of glazed wall, fitted, ex VAT. Doors are priced separately.

How do frameless glass partitions work?
Panels are usually 10mm or 12mm toughened glass, or 10.8mm and 12.8mm laminated glass where better sound control or post-breakage safety is wanted. The head and floor channels are recessed or finished flush with the ceiling and carpet so that from a few metres away the wall reads as a single sheet of glass.
Frameless systems suit meeting rooms, manager's offices and reception screens where daylight and sightlines matter most. They are the default choice for Cat B fit-outs in modern buildings with level floors and a solid ceiling fixing.
When are frameless glass partitions the right choice?
- Meeting rooms and boardrooms off an open-plan floor
- Reception and lift-lobby screens
- Offices that need to keep borrowed daylight deep into the plan

Frameless glass partitions: questions
Are frameless glass partitions safe?
Yes. Every panel is toughened or laminated safety glass that meets the impact classes in BS EN 12600, and Approved Document K manifestation is applied so the glass is clearly visible. Toughened glass breaks into small blunt pieces; laminated glass stays in place if it cracks.
How thick is the glass in a frameless partition?
Most frameless office walls use 10mm or 12mm toughened glass. Rooms over about 3 metres high, or rooms that need better sound control, use 12.8mm laminated or acoustic laminated glass.
Can you fit frameless glass under a suspended ceiling?
Yes, but the head channel has to fix back to something solid. We check the ceiling grid and the slab above at survey and add a concealed steel or timber support where needed.
How private is a frameless glass room?
On its own, not very. Most clients add a manifestation band, frosted film to part of the height, or switchable glass that turns opaque at the press of a button.
