Interior glass partition systems–sometimes referred to as demountable walls–can transform spaces by improving daylighting, transparency, acoustic privacy, and aesthetics. They are commonly specified in offices and other commercial interiors to define spaces, create multifunctional areas, and improve occupant comfort. This course will provide a thorough review of interior glass partition systems including system types, door hardware selection, glass size limitations, and enhancing acoustic performance.
