Things to consider before installing a Double Glazed Partition Wall:
Partition Wallconsists of various combinations of glass and wood in aluminum profile construction. They can be formed as double glazing, glass-to-glass joints, solid (wooden) systems with glass on top, systems with glass in the middle, with glass on the bottom and top.
If there is a need for separation between the manager and the employees in the office partitions and the manager wants to be in eye contact with his employees and at the same time wants to have a meeting in his room without distraction, he can choose blinds to prevent eye contact.
Venetian blind systems can be produced vertically or horizontally. Here, it is the ceiling height at the location of the partition wall that determines the construction. In cases where the ceiling is very high (3.4-5 m), drywall is lowered to a height of 2.4-2.8 m from the ceiling if the partition wall is not desired to go up to this height. However, this system may not be preferred in offices where heights of 2.4-2.6 m may be too low, thus causing a depressed atmosphere.
For a better understanding, let's visualize the installation of a partition wall system in an office with very high ceilings.
Imagine a large space with high ceilings, where several rooms side by side form a large office. Taking into account the location of the entrance, let's assume that the small offices are lined up side by side and opposite each other.
First of all, as a first step, the ceiling height should be calculated together with the factors to be taken into account, especially the heating and lighting costs. In addition to heating, ventilation and lighting, in-office sound acoustics should also be considered when determining the ceiling height.
Since there are structural elements such as ventilation ducts, electrical lines (pans), fire and heating pipes on the ceiling, the choice of materials to be used in these areas is also very important. Considering the building elements, it may be appropriate to place the ceiling with a carriage (removable) and solve it with rock wool or metal suspended ceiling covering.
Lighting fixtures and ventilation apparatus equivalent to the tile can be used on the ceiling (such as 60x60 cm) by calculating the lighting appropriate to the size of the office.
Intervention hatches opening to the ceiling should also be considered to access the ceiling if necessary. In order to prevent sound transmission between offices and to ensure insulation, we have to raise the office walls to the ceiling with a 10 cm plasterboard sound barrier. Thus, suppose we design our office by considering heat, sound, light and ventilation calculations.
In addition to these calculations, the width of the corridors should be taken into account when lining up the offices side by side and across from each other, and the visual aesthetics in the corridor and the contribution of the office partition walls to the integrity of the space should also be considered.
Side-by-side offices should be arranged according to their degree of relationship with each other and with external visitors. For example, Procurement and Accounting offices are often more easily accessible, while technical offices and R&D may be located further back. While meeting rooms can be located further inland for meetings of internal departments, offices for general meetings with external guests and partners should be located closer to the exit areas.
We have outlined how we want to divide the space, now it's time to choose the partition walls.
With the 10 cm wide system, meeting rooms, accounting, R&D and Purchasing units can be designed as full walls. We can think of other units with a full bottom, a glazed middle, a full top and blinds on the glazed parts.
The space, which we have chosen to be 90 cm full from the bottom, can be double glazed and blinded up to the height of the door (2.1 - 2.2 m). We can then fill the space up to the ceiling, which we have already selected as 2.6-2.8 m, and lay between the filled parts with rock wool boards with a density of 50 kg/m3 (to prevent them from piling up over time) in a suitable style.
The choice of glass to be used in the continuation of the design is important. Generally, 6 mm + 6 mm tempered glass is used in double glazed systems. As a result of the installation of blinds in the glass, the opposite offices and corridor will have a smooth atmosphere, especially when the lights are on. Blinds can be manually or remotely controlled.
After these steps, what is recommended is an acoustic calculation that includes the whole system. If acoustic calculations are made, it is possible to get rid of unnecessary thicknesses in partition walls.
Finally, in double-glazed systems, the glass thicknesses may not be equal in the calculation (such as 8 mm + 6 mm). In this case, glass can be selected as 4+4, 5+5, 5+5, 6+6 mm laminated glass, and the glass can be applied as tempered or grinded. In cases where the same thicknesses are in question, specially manufactured acoustic laminated glass can be used.
