How to make a measurement for a glass partition. Measurements for the manufacture of glass structures. Types of glass partitions

The use of glass partitions in a living room is a simple, but at the same time effective way of organizing space. Recently, such designs have become increasingly popular. Before installation, you should study their features, main advantages and possible disadvantages.

Glass partitions - modern design solution

Purpose and application features

Glass partitions for zoning a room do not take up much space and at the same time visually expand the space. Thanks to special glass processing technologies, it becomes safe and reliable in operation. Usually triplex or tempered glass is used. It is first processed with high temperature in a special oven. As for the triplex, this is a laminated look, which consists of several layers glued together with a special resin.

Structures have the following advantages:

1. Long service life and reliability. Tempered glass and triplex are characterized by good mechanical resistance, easily withstand daily household loads, humidity, temperature regime, in addition, can be a good basis for hanging equipment.
2. Safety. Even if deformed, the product will not bring significant harm to others.
3. Wide range of operating possibilities. This makes it possible to use partitions in the living room, as well as in the kitchen, bathrooms, balconies, where conditions are more aggressive.
4. Light weight.
5. Attractive appearance, the ability to emphasize the conciseness and individual style of the room.
6. Functionality. Thanks to good light transmission, the use of a glass surface helps to get excellent lighting in the rooms in the apartment, making them more spacious. The advantage is that at the same time the zoning necessary for the owners takes place.

It is worth noting some disadvantages of such material:

1. High price.
2. Difficult installation - it will not be possible to do it yourself without hiring professionals.

Before ordering a product, it is necessary to take measurements correctly, since after manufacturing the glass for the partition cannot be cut.

There are various ways to secure partitions. They can be not only stationary, but also suspended, sliding. For mounting sliding, special rails are used, and for hanging - upper profiles and carriages.

Matte sliding partitions

As an artistic idea, you can embody any design idea. Glass is frosted, transparent, tinted. With the help of an architectural film, the desired image, logos, ornaments, inscriptions are easily applied to it.

Types of glass partitions

For convenience, a classification of partitions according to different characteristics has been introduced.

By appointment

Partitions can be mobile or stationary.

1. Stationary.

They replace the usual fixed walls. This a good option when it is required to zone a part of the room in which there are no windows, a sufficient amount of light will flow through the glass. A similar solution is often found in office premises, where the partition only marks the border, without creating the feeling of a closed space with small rooms. At the same time, each employee has a strictly assigned working area- a kind of private office.

A good solution for a living space is a partition in the bathroom - when it delimits the bathroom from the rest of the space. This approach helps achieve additional waterproofing without dividing the space, so even small room maintains a sense of sufficient space and lack of borders.

1. Mobile.

Such partitions are most often a design solution that helps to use the same area in different ways. Transparent walls are easy to move - this is a real way out for apartments with a small footage. Often mobile partitions used in studio apartments.

Combining the kitchen and living room

Also, this technique allows you to combine the kitchen and living room. To ensure the security of the premises gas stove it must be fenced off. The glass railing is there and protects the space, but is not felt and visually creates the feeling of a spacious room.

Mobile partitions are of several types:

• sliding - the movable part rolls back behind the stationary one;
• radius - design with sliding door, but with curved radius partitions;
• with pendulum / swing doors - more often used for shops;
• folding - according to the principle of an accordion or a book.

By type of construction

Partitions by type of construction are conditionally classified into the following types:

• All-glass. They are assembled from huge sheets without additional connections. Additionally, fasteners, fixing elements are required. Such glass should have good load bearing capacity, therefore, triplex is usually used, which does not crumble when destroyed.
• Frame. An aluminum profile is attached to the walls, ceiling and floor, it can also be made of wood, plastic or steel. The glass sheet is securely fixed in it. It is on the frame that there is a significant load.
• French glazing. This is a kind of frame, when the glass in it is divided by imposts. The advantage of this type is that if one or more parts are damaged, it will take less time and cost to restore.
• From blocks, double-glazed windows. With this method, the partition is more like a wall. Blocks are similar to bricks, their thickness is greater than that of other types. They are also distinguished by improved sound insulation, but less transparency.

Number of glasses used

On this basis, 2 types can be distinguished - with one or two glasses. When using two, special attention is paid to the installation. In case of poor-quality installation, dust will accumulate between the glasses, to eliminate which it will be necessary to partially disassemble the structure.

Base material

Compared to window panes interior partitions are made from thicker sheets - from 8 mm thick. Their optical properties and strength have also been improved. Products are easily suitable for use in kindergartens, schools, clinics.

To increase the strength, triplex glass or a special reinforcing film is additionally used.

Partitions made of organic materials also belong to glass products:

• Plexiglas/acrylic - polymer material, which is usually used to bring unusual projects to life.
• Cellular polycarbonate is a safe, lightweight material that does not break.
• Polycarbonate - polymer with high performance strength.

Production of glass partitions

Modern partitions are made using the latest equipment only by specially trained workers. For partitions can be used:

• triplex;
• glass with a pattern or pattern;
• frosted glass;
• colored or tinted glass.

The tempered glass partition creates a beautiful and safe structure. After hardening, the sheet can withstand huge mechanical loads. Even if broken, it does not shatter into fragments, that is, it will not harm those who may be nearby. Hardening is carried out at a temperature of about 680 degrees in special devices. After processing, the material can be safely used not only in offices, shops, but also in residential premises.

To create a frame structure, aluminum profiles are usually used. They comply with all regulations. High-quality fittings guarantee a perfect look of the product and a long service life.

In the process of creating a triplex, inscriptions and drawings can be applied between layers. Stained glass paints or high quality aerosols are used for the production of colored glass. Due to the gluing of layers during the manufacturing process, triplex does not crumble into fragments if damaged.

In the manufacture of laminated glass, the layers are first connected, then they are passed through rollers, processed in a thermal chamber to remove air and strengthen the triplex. Assembly is carried out under a pressure of about 12 bar and a temperature of 100 - 150 degrees Celsius.

If during installation you can achieve high density fasteners, the material will show excellent soundproofing qualities.

Installation

Installation of a glass structure is possible not only at the construction stage, but also in the finished interior. The main thing is that all work is done by professionals.

Conclusion

So, partitions made of glass have many advantages, they can be successfully used in residential premises, zoning the space without making it visually smaller. A wide variety of types of material makes it possible to choose the most suitable option for the conditions and design, making the apartment more modern and practical.

Glass structures are used everywhere today: partitions in offices, showers, railings for stairs and balconies, and much more. They are comfortable, practical, very durable, and also fit perfectly into any interior. But it is not so easy to make a high-quality tempered glass product: it is necessary not only to use high-quality, properly tempered material for this purpose, but also to make all measurements correctly. And after the design is ready - to make installation. These procedures require a lot of knowledge and high qualifications, therefore, to engage in measurements and installation glass structures should only be done by experienced professionals.

Why measurements are needed and in what cases they are taken twice

Before starting any work, you need to carefully note all openings, ceiling heights, etc. Usually this happens in one stage: the master comes and in one day finds out all the sizes he needs. But in some cases, the process is divided into several stages. This happens in such cases:

• If the fixings for the glass partition are built into the walls. In such a situation, the specialist takes measurements twice: before finishing. After taking measurements for the first time, the master decides which profiles should be used for this design.
• If sliding systems are mounted. Their elements are attached directly to the ceiling, therefore a preliminary measurement is necessary to find out whether the ceiling will carry such loads.
• If the sliding door will slide into the wall. In order to save space, some designers make glass sliding doors seem to slide inside the wall. In this case, measurements are also made before the boxes are installed into which the partition will slide. Here everything must be measured very accurately, otherwise the partition simply will not budge.

For measurements, you need a lot of tools: a laser tape measure, a laser level, a plane builder and much more. And, of course, you need a lot of accuracy and skill. Therefore, it is better not to try to take measurements yourself, but to invite the master.

How glass partitions are installed

The method of installing a glass partition directly depends on whether it is stationary or sliding. Let's analyze the stationary option - it is quite simple to understand.

• With the help of a plumb line, markings are made for the future partition.
• Next, the profile is mounted. A layer of rubber is placed under the tires fixed with dowels - this will be more reliable, and the sound insulation is better. This
• Then squares are attached to the tires from above. They are placed approximately every half meter. Clamps are located on top of the squares - they will fit snugly against the glass so that it does not “walk” in the profiles.
• After that, a sheet of glass is installed - first in the lower mounts, and then in the upper ones. The clamps are tightened and you're done. The main thing is to insert the canvas very evenly and accurately, without any distortions.

With sliding partitions, everything is much more complicated: there are connectors, carriages, limiters, and much more. But even if in theory this idea seems simple to you, it is still better to contact the master: when doing the work, he will take into account such nuances that you might not know existed. In addition, they have sufficient experience and knowledge, because City Glass hires only masters of their craft. Therefore, if you decide to order glass partitions in our company, you will definitely not regret the services of measuring glass partitions.

Measurement of openings for the manufacture of glass partitions, glass doors and other glass structures requires special accuracy.

Why do you need accuracy in measurements?

• and , which could compensate for errors in measurements or hide the irregularities of the opening. Incorrectly performed measurement can cause too large gaps or that the glass "does not fit into the opening";

• but “cutting glass” in place will not work, because glass partitions and doors are made only from tempered glass, which is produced at the factory according to the size of the opening. If you start drilling or cutting off tempered glass, it will “explode” from the resulting internal stresses, it will not crack somewhere on the edge, but it will collapse completely.

That is why it is so important when measuring to take into account every millimeter and any differences in level.

Measurement of office partitions

Who performs the measurement of openings?

Measurement of openings at StekloMet is performed by a design engineer who is responsible for the correct measurements and develops design documentation for your project.

The design engineer will tell you about the features and advise which fittings are best used in your case, what you can save on, and where it is better to install the highest quality, albeit more expensive, components.

To measure openings under we use modern measuring tools: laser tape measure, laser level and, if necessary, squares and templates.

The design engineer can bring samples of fittings to the site for future construction.

When to call a measurer?

		To place an order: For the final measurement of openings, the measurer of glass structures should be called when your opening already has a “fine finish”: there is a finishing layer on the floor. flooring, the walls are plastered and painted, the bathroom is tiled or porcelain tile.
		For advice on the preparation of openings: Sometimes a site visit of a design engineer is necessary even before the “finishing” of the openings. A StekloMet specialist will issue the terms of reference to the builders on preparing the openings for installation, tell what material and in what place the embedded elements should be provided and advise on the specifics of the installation work.

Measurement result

Based on the results of the measurements, Technical task of the Customer, which is an integral part of the Contract. This document displays all your wishes, the state of the opening at the time of measurement and what should be the result of the work performed. A sketch of the future structure, diagrams and junction nodes are drawn in detail.
