Habits and lifestyles change and, with them and as a function of them, the spaces that surround us also evolve. One of the most popular furnishing trends is theand cleaner open space, a solution that allows you to make the most of the brightness and size of the rooms. This mode offers multiple design possibilities thanks, in particular, to the use of partition windows.
Glass walls: what they are and why to choose them
The partition windows for interiors are presented as real fixtures, with characteristics similar to those of windows and French windows, with the exception of aspects relating to thermal insulation and resistance to atmospheric agents.
The glass walls serve to delimit the spaces, preserving the brightness and favoring the visibility of the same. They are extremely functional and give personality to the rooms, whether they are domestic or work environments, thanks to a minimal and elegant design.
From one to one bedroom apartment
The partition windows are easy to install and allow you to create new environments, even in spatial continuity, without resorting to masonry work. In a studio apartment, for example, glass walls represent the ideal way to separate the living area from the bedroom, due to the reduced thickness of the windows, making use of every available square meter.
Furthermore, the ability to customize the degree of transparency of the glass allows you to attribute the right privacy to the rooms or even to create a walk-in closet within a room.
Practical and elegant kitchens and living rooms
A diametrically opposite principle distinguishes the choice of dividing windows between the living room and the kitchen. They allow the design of the kitchen itself to be exhibited, while retaining the practicality of a dividing barrier between the two environments, useful for limiting the passage of cooking odors, fumes and vapors, but not that of natural light.
In addition, the customizable glass and frame adapt to a modern style; functional and sophisticated at the same time. The transparent wall can also consist of sections that alternate different heights: from the floor to the ceiling or from an opaque window sill to the ceiling.
Spa services
Partition windows are the winning choice even for a bright bathroom. Installing a glass window, instead of the traditional box, facilitates the creation of one walk-in shower, larger and with less routine maintenance.
To reduce the transparency of the wall, you can play with the type, texture or color of the glass, alternating simple glass panels with opaque or semi-opaque panels.
The transparency of the divider lets natural light flow and visually expands the space, making it airy even if the number of square meters available is limited.
Business environments
Glass walls are also strategic for professional environments, in fact they create an adequately lit environment and guarantee sound insulation, two not indifferent details in working contexts. For this reason, partition windows are increasingly used in offices or public environments, where a strategic value is attributed to visual and acoustic comfort and to the simultaneous presence of openness and privacy.
How to choose the opening of the doors
Finally, the partition windows are characterized by different types of door openings. The most frequent for interiors are:
- swing, single or multiple. It is the simplest system, but suitable for large spaces that allow free rotation of the doors;
- scorrevole: it is the space-saving solution par excellence, capable of leaving a section of the glass wall open, folding the doors on one side;
- sliding book: allows you to save even more space than the previous ones since the doors can be completely closed on one side of the frame, making the wall disappear.
In summary, glass walls represent the optimal solution for separating domestic and business environments, without actually dividing them. This helps to increase the sense of depth of the spaces, obtaining an effect result; the perfect synthesis of versatility and trend.
