Acoustic Glass Partitioning
Schools, colleges and universities can be loud environments, so it’s important to consider the impact of your acoustics.

Fire Rated Glass
If your building regulations require you to have fire-rated glass we have a range to suit a variety of environments. Our expert team have detailed fire safety knowledge on fire integrity and insulation, meaning you’ll be supplied with the best fit giving you fire resistance.
Glazed Glass Partitions
Safety is a key focus in schools, and our glazed, safety-toughened glass partitions are specifically designed with that priority in mind.
Crafted from toughened glass, our single and double-glazed partitions are far more resilient than standard glass, and have impact resistance. In the rare event that breakage occurs, the glass crumbles into small, blunt fragments rather than sharp, dangerous shards, significantly minimising the risk of injury.
Office glass partitions provide numerous advantages for schools, from flexibility in space usage to acoustic control and privacy. Their ability to transform learning environments quickly and efficiently makes them a valuable asset for modern educational facilities. Our expertise in working within educational settings allows us to deliver the perfect solution for you.

Benefits of Glass Partitions for Classrooms
Allows for Flexibility
Glass partitions for classrooms offer a high level of flexibility in educational settings, where the needs of the space frequently change. It allows rooms to be reconfigured based on the number of students, type of activity or purpose of the space.
The ability to adjust spaces quickly without the need for permanent walls allows schools to adapt to evolving educational approaches, like project-based learning or team teaching. This versatile use of space improves overall functionality and responds to the diverse needs of students and educators. This approach also futureproofs your investment as the possibilities are so adaptable.
Improving Acoustics
Acoustic partitions provide significant benefits in educational settings, where controlling noise levels is essential for effective learning. Our specialised glass partitions are designed to reduce sound transmission between different areas, ensuring that noise from adjacent classrooms, hallways or communal spaces doesn’t disturb ongoing lessons.
Fixed single-glazed acoustic glass will provide sound protection of up to 37dB, whereas double-glazed acoustic glass offers up to 46-50 dB.
Increasing Space Efficiency
Space efficiency is a crucial consideration in schools where maximising a usable area is essential for accommodating varying class sizes and activities.
Glass walls for schools enable you to make the most of your space by creating flexible learning environments that can be adjusted as needed, without requiring structural changes. The result is a more efficient use of school or college infrastructure and resources.
Allowing for Privacy
There are times when privacy is necessary in schools — whether for individual assessments, private meetings between students and teachers, or quiet study sessions. Glass partitions with frosted or opaque finishes provide the necessary privacy while maintaining the open, light-filled feel of a modern educational environment, like a university.
Additionally, privacy partitions can be important in administrative areas, where confidential discussions or paperwork may take place. This balance between openness and privacy supports the overall function and flow of the school while ensuring that students and staff have the private areas they need.
Considerations for Educational Settings
Having previously worked in a variety of educational settings we have a clear understanding of what’s needed when installing glass partitions for classrooms.
Maximising Term Times
We understand that schools run on tight schedules, and any disruption during term time can hinder the learning process.
That’s why we offer installation services during summer and winter holidays or term breaks, ensuring that our work doesn’t interfere with lessons or other important school activities.
This approach ensures a seamless transition and helps the school fully utilise its space by the time students and teachers return.
Compliance
With existing experience working in educational environments, we are well-versed in the compliance requirements specific to schools.
From health and safety regulations to accessibility and safeguarding, we understand the importance of adhering to stringent standards. Our team ensures that all materials, designs and installations meet the required codes and regulations, guaranteeing that schools not only benefit from our products but do so within a framework that prioritises student and staff safety. Our team is also DBS-checked giving you that reassurance.

Schools often operate in a mix of building styles, ranging from historic structures to modern designs. We recognise the importance of ensuring that our glass walls for schools are compatible with a variety of environments.
Our installation teams have the expertise to work around the unique challenges posed by different building types, ensuring that the final product looks cohesive and enhances the overall design of the space, regardless of its age or style.
