The great variability of designs makes full glass walls an irreplaceable aid in separating two spaces while maintaining their optical connection.
To facilitate selection with the investor, a total of ten standardized solutions for full glass walls are available, which are most commonly used in practice. "They ideally combine full glass single or double doors with a fixed glass wall and skylights," explains Petr Paksi, Sales Director of J.A.P., a Czech glass processor. One does not even need to elaborate further on the interior advantages of full glass walls – optical enlargement of space and maximum daylight transmission from adjacent areas.
Safe Glass
Full glass walls are always made of safety tempered glass, which is up to five times more resistant to impact than regular glass. "Breaking tempered glass in a flat surface is almost impossible in regular home use. However, if it is damaged, it crumbles into blunt shards that will not injure you," adds Petr Paksi.
Tempered glass cannot be mechanically processed afterwards – for example, drilled or cut. "Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the precise measurement of the space where you plan to place the glass wall," warns Petr Paksi.
Types of Glass

A full glass wall does not have to be made only from clear glass, which perfectly retains light transmission, but of course also allows for a complete view. You can also choose sandblasted or tinted glass, known as planibel glass. "Sandblasted glass is created by blasting fine sand, and tinted or planibel glass can be tinted in gray, blue, or bronze shades," clarifies Petr Paksi. Another option is satinato glass, also known as "frosted" glass. This is a one-sided etched glass that is not transparent but translucent. All of these mentioned variations of the glass reduce transparency and allow for a certain degree of optical separation between adjacent rooms. And if you want to complement the interior with really original decoration, you can opt for Grafosklo for the full glass partition, into which any image, graphic, or other motif can be laminated. Its possibilities in decoration are virtually limitless.
