Industrial style glass partition alterations in Frome

Client: Frome Business Park
Value: £5.9k

The aim of this partitioning project for Frome Business Park , was to make the private office feel more open to the central meeting area by removing a solid wall and installing a glass partition.

We used and industrial style glass partition to match the existing glazing throughout the building.

Preliminary work

The first step was to measure the partition being removed and work out how to make sure the new partition would like like part of the original building scheme.

We were made aware that the existing partition housed a steel cross brace support for the mezzanine floor which could not be moved and we did not know exactly where it was positioned.

We planned to paint the steel in the same dark grey to match and worked on the basis that the new industrial style glass partition would need to be positioned in front or behind of the steel.

We took out the solid partition wall and re-plastered the opening and painted white to match the walls around giving a nice square opening ready for the new industrial style glass partition to be installed.

The newly exposed steel cross brace was painted in the same dark grey ad the existing frameworks and doors making a feature out of it.

The existing vinyl plant flooring was uplifted and re-laid in offset cut formations to make good of the gap in flooring where the partition was removed without leaving and obvious joint line in the flooring.

Completed partition

The finish office partition looked like it has always been part of the building allowing more natural light into the office and encouraging integration between the office and meeting space.

The black crittal banding gives a really nice industrial look especially with the exposed cross brace behind.

What is Crittal banded glass partitioning?

industrial style for modern interiors

Crittal banded glass partitioning shows that with the careful use of trims and banding on a traditional sheet of glass an industrial look can be obtained. Using trims is a cost effective alternative to steel framed windows.

The word Crittal comes from Crittall Windows Ltd and is an English manufacturer of steel-framed windows and is synonymous with a particular style. Sometimes people refer to this style as Chinese glazing as it is a common style of windows design.

The industrial look is very popular adding interest and structure to the partitions while maintaining the shared natural light and enlarged office space feel gained with typical glass partitioning.
