Toughened Glass Partitions
Product Description
Separate interior spaces in style with glass partitions. Open floor plans are popular in contemporary buildings, but they don’t always offer much versatility when you need a more private area to work, converse, or relax. This can leave people feeling exposed – especially in an office environment.
When cubicle-style solid walls can make the space feel dark and cramped, the modern solution is to use toughened glass partitions instead.
Glass partitions can easily be used to delineate different areas within a larger space, without having to install unsightly opaque walls that disrupt the light.
Robust toughened glass panels work well as partitions because they provide an element of privacy, both visually and sonically, but they still keep the space feeling open and continuous – in addition to creating a professional and elegant look.
Our high-quality toughened glass dividers are available in clear, frosted, and tinted finishes. Place an order with your bespoke measurements today, and remember to browse our fittings, too – including a selection of glazing channels and glass seals.
If you need help with ordering toughened glass partitions, reach out to us by phone or email and a member of the Express Toughening team will assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use toughened glass partitions?
One of the many benefits of glass is that it can provide a slim yet strong barrier for various purposes, while remaining clear or translucent for easy sightlines and improved light flow.
Glass partitions have a relatively small footprint, so they can fit seamlessly into all kinds of spaces, providing a ‘barely there’ appearance, as light can spread through them.
This helps to maintain a bright and airy atmosphere that encourages collaboration, but glass dividers also offer the opportunity for a level of peaceful privacy when needed – creating an appealing space for working, studying, or general living.
Toughened glass partitions are also more versatile than some people might think, as they are straightforward to install and can drastically transform a space with a quick turnaround.
They offer a cost-effective method for dividing larger spaces without too much fuss and expense on refurbishment work, making glass partitions a great investment for any modern environment.
How thick should glass partitions be?
The minimum thickness for a glass partition available from Express Toughening is 8mm, which is the thinnest that a sheet of toughened glass can be for safe use as a partition.
The most common thickness is probably 10mm, with the majority of our glazing channels for partitions able to fit glass panels up to 12mm thick. Some are also available for partitions up to 15mm thick, but it’s important to double-check the dimensions before ordering to make sure the panel will fit securely in the channel.
The right thickness for you depends on where and how you will be installing the glass partition, and any building regulations and safety standards that apply.
Factors like the type of glass you would prefer will also affect your order options, as only clear glass or extra-clear low-iron glass is available in a range of thicknesses. You can also contact us to enquire about 19mm thick partitions in clear or low-iron glass.
However, if you want a more opaque divider in the form of a frosted satin glass partition, or a grey or bronze tinted glass partition, these finishes are only available in 10mm thick glass.
What size can a glass partition be?
The size of a glass partition also depends on variables such as where it will be used, the installation method, and the thickness of the glass, as well as the shape of the partition.
We don’t just offer standard rectangular or square glass partitions, but also left, right, or double rake shapes, or cut-off corners for more graded edges. This makes it easier to design a glass partition that fits exactly where you want it, while being durable enough to withstand wear and tear.
At Express Toughening, we can supply standard rectangular partitions in widths ranging from 250mm to 3000mm, and heights from 100mm to 1500mm – different limitations are imposed for different shapes, so be sure to check the minimum and maximum when entering your custom measurements.
We also advise to allow a 2mm tolerance, and if you opt for cut-outs or holes for fittings, bear in mind that internal notches have a 7mm radius for structural integrity.
Generally, the larger the panel, the thicker it should be, to ensure it is strong enough to resist the higher risk of breakage that comes with a greater surface area.
Remember to check regulatory requirements before committing to your design, as there may be specific size restrictions depending on the type of glass and installation location.
