Purpose of glass partition elements

A glass partition for the bathroom allows you to divide the room into comfortable zones without reducing its area. This is its main purpose. At the same time, shower partitions not only enclose a place for a shower, but can also separate a bathroom or a place for changing clothes.

Other Features of Bathroom Glass Shower Screen:

• preventing splashes of water on walls, towels and clothing;
• decorative design of the room;
• creating a private space, which is important in combined bathrooms.

The latter function is performed especially well by a frosted glass shower screen for the bathroom. This design does not interfere with the penetration of light, but at the same time preserves the privacy of the person washing in the shower.

Functions of transparent walls

There are no rules for using structures made from such materials, but by using them in your home, you can bring freshness and originality to the room.

Glass partitions for zoning perform several main functions:

1. They allow you to separate one zone from another and become a decorative element if you use patterns or color schemes.
2. The thin structure can easily replace massive masonry and help build a wall where needed.
3. It is enough to choose the necessary shape, color and texture, and you will not need to purchase additional decor.

Important! It is necessary to use transparent walls if you need to divide a large space into a number of parts, separate an entrance, a place to sleep or a work area in the kitchen. Sliding systems allow you to build or remove a wall if necessary.

Advantages of glass structures

A bathtub with a glass partition looks modern and attractive. Such designs will fit perfectly into any interior style.

Matte designs on an aluminum frame are suitable for bathroom owners who prefer hi-tech and minimalism.

Luxurious stained glass windows will look natural in rooms decorated in Art Nouveau or Art Nouveau style. And glass painting will decorate the bathroom in an oriental style.

In addition to decorative qualities, a glass shower partition has other advantages:

• moisture resistance and tightness;
• light weight;
• variety of configurations;
• ease of installation;
• environmental friendliness and health safety;
• visual airiness.

Glass partitions for the bathroom are ergonomic and can be used in rooms of various layouts and sizes. Due to light transmission, they will add volume to even a tiny room.

Glass shower partitions do not require much effort in maintaining cleanliness: they are easy to clean with simple household products. At the same time, they do not turn yellow or become cloudy over time, do not become cracked or peel off.

Advantages and disadvantages

The designs have a number of advantages:

• are erected both during renovation and after its completion;
• easy to install and quickly reinstall;
• save space indoors;
• have a presentable and aesthetic appearance;
• have unlimited design possibilities;
• suitable for different interior styles;
• installation does not require approval or registration of redevelopment;
• You can install it yourself without special knowledge and skills.

The disadvantage of using a partition in a studio apartment is the lack of sound insulation; it divides the space only visually.

Advice! If you need a glass partition, you should ask the designer for advice so as not to create additional inconvenience.

Types of materials

To create a partition in the shower, different types of glass materials are used:

• durable tempered glass with a thickness of 6 to 12 mm;
• glass blocks to create monolithic but light-transmitting walls;
• triplex, which holds dynamic loads well.

All types of glass structures are safe and almost impossible to break. But even if this happens, the same tempered glass will crumble into fragments without sharp edges, and the triplex will not disintegrate at all, but will only become covered with cracks. If you choose to install a glass partition, the fittings for the shower stall should be reliable, not afraid of moisture, but not massive. It is worth choosing parts and fasteners made of nickel, chrome or brass. Luxurious design options involve gilding the fittings.

Types of false glass walls for shower rooms

Shower partitions are divided into frame (with a frame made of aluminum or plastic) and frameless. What are their advantages and disadvantages:

Shower partitions made of glass on a frame are used to create open (without a roof) and closed shower stalls. If desired, such a structure can actually be erected on a podium. You can save space and protect the space from splashes by building a partition on the bathtub itself made of glass.

The design of modern bathtubs involves the installation of corner and radius glass structures in the shower.

Corner shower structures made of glass are distinguished by the fact that they are easily mounted in the corner of the bathroom. For radius false walls for shower cabins, glass doors are created from several panels connected to each other or glass curved to fit the tray.

Decorative glass processing

In order for partition structures to be aesthetic, stylish and durable, glass for them is processed using different technological methods:

Modern technologies used in the production of glass for partition elements make it possible to create not only a functional and safe, but also a stylish product. And not only due to color solutions, but also shape.

When heated at the factory, glass can be given any configuration.

But even a simple booth can be temporarily decorated with applications of adhesive film, rhinestones and other moisture-resistant decorative elements, as well as painted with glass paints.

Installation of glass structures in the shower

Installing a glass frame partition in a bathroom is not difficult - even a non-professional can handle it.

Algorithm for making glass shower partitions:

1. Connect all structural elements except the doors. First, the frame is assembled, then the glass filling elements are secured using special clips.
2. Mark the places where the false wall will be fixed on the floor and walls.
3. Drill all the necessary holes for fasteners, taking into account their diameter and depth.
4. Install a glass partition according to the markings in the bathroom. Secure it to the walls and floor with suitable hardware, such as self-tapping screws.
5. Treat the joints with the walls with plumbing silicone sealant.
6. Install doors and fittings.

Making glass partitions from glass blocks is reminiscent of brickwork, only it is not done in a checkerboard pattern, but block by block. The elements are fastened together with special glue or special fasteners.

The frameless glass partition for the bathroom is mounted on guide rails with a roller mechanism. If it has only a decorative function, you can use a non-threshold version with one or two guides mounted on the ceiling.

A bathroom with a glass shower screen looks sophisticated and modern. Glass partition structures significantly save space and visually increase its volume. But do not forget that even such unpretentious material requires regular care. Then the service life of the glass partition in your bathroom will be almost endless.

Do you want to make efficient use of space or save space? In order to more effectively distribute the square meters of the room, use glass partitions, which come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs. One of the most important nuances, thanks to which the production of glass partitions is gaining mass popularity today, is that this interior element does not need to be registered with the BTI. Thanks to the ease of installation, glass partitions for a room can help you carry out redevelopment in an absolutely legal manner in the shortest possible time, without disturbing neighbors or office employees.

Transparent glass partitions – convenience of spatial solutions

If you place them in your home, you can effectively zone a small room into several functional zones. Stationary glass partitions ordered from our company will allow you to evenly distribute the flow of light throughout your house, apartment or office space. This will not only create a feeling of additional space, but will also have a positive effect on the mood of all household members, will win over your business partners and, as a result, will bring peace to your home and success to your business.

In general, glass partitions in the interior can emphasize the team spirit of the team and create openness for each employee of the company. In addition, transparent partitions allow employees to work longer in daylight conditions; the manager is provided with control over repairs without the need to often leave his chair. In addition, office glass partitions demonstrate dynamism and enlightenment to visitors, and also serve as an excellent architectural solution for the entire room.

Design features of glass partitions

Glass is durable and not susceptible to sunlight and temperature changes. Thanks to this, glass partitions can be left even in direct sunlight without the risk of being damaged or deformed. Any pattern or logo, sketch or large-scale drawing can be applied to glass partitions in an apartment or office. In addition, they are matched with original fittings that complement the style of the room. Each design idea is implemented by professional glass specialists.

In an office, the surface of a glass partition is a great place to place a company logo, graphics and other types of symbols applied with UV printing, films, sandblasting, engraving or etching.

Some tips for choosing partitions

• Transparent mobile glass partitions are suitable for retail and office premises.
• A geometrically correct living room, for example, in the high-tech style, will be beautifully decorated with barely noticeable transparent glass.
