Measurements, Glass, and Finishes: Design Your Custom Glass Partition

For a custom glass partition that perfectly fits your Toulouse interior, every detail counts. At Intérieur Métal, we'll guide you through the essential steps to ensure your project's success: taking precise measurements, choosing the right glass for your needs, and applying the perfect metal finish.

1. Precision Measurements: The Essential Starting Point

A custom glass partition always begins with rigorous measurements of the opening. This is a crucial step to guarantee perfect integration and a flawless installation.

How to Take Measurements Yourself (for an initial estimate):
- Height, Width, and Depth: Measure the height, width, and thickness (depth) of the opening where your glass partition will be placed.
- Multiple Points: Take measurements at at least three different points for both height and width (top, middle, bottom).
- Keep the Smallest Measurement: To avoid any unpleasant surprises, always use the smallest measurement taken for your dimensions.
- Wall Thickness: The thickness of the partition or wall must be at least 30 mm to ensure proper fastening of the glass partition.
Our Fabrication Adjustment: To facilitate installation and correct any potential squaring issues with your opening, we systematically deduct 5 mm from the final width and height for the fabrication of your glass partition.
Our Commitment: For the final quote and fabrication, a technical measurement by our teams is always preferred for absolute precision.

2. Choosing Your Glass: Light, Privacy, and Safety

Glass is the soul of your glass partition. Its choice is crucial for the ambiance, brightness, and functionality of your space. We offer a wide range of options from trusted suppliers like Saint-Gobain for your custom glass partition in Toulouse.

Clear Glass (Transparent):
- Properties: Maximum transparency, allows 100% of light to pass through.
- Uses: Ideal for maximizing light intake and maintaining a total visual connection between rooms (living room, dining room, office).
Frosted / Satin Glass:
- Properties: Treated surface that is opaque and smooth, blurring shapes without blocking light.
- Uses: Perfect for spaces requiring privacy and brightness (bathroom, dressing room, sleeping area).
Ribbed / Fluted Glass:
- Properties: Textured glass with vertical or horizontal ribs, distorts vision while diffusing light aesthetically.
- Uses: Adds a vintage or graphic touch, ideal for elegant and subtle separations (entrance, hallway, living room/dining room separation).
Safety Glass (Tempered or Laminated):
- Properties: Tempered glass breaks into small, non-sharp pieces; laminated glass keeps fragments adhered in case of impact.
- Uses: Essential for glass partition doors, high-traffic areas, or homes with children, for maximum safety.
Acoustic Glass:
- Properties: Composed of multiple layers to reduce sound transmission.
- Uses: Improves sound insulation between two rooms, perfect for an office or bedroom.
Other Specific Glasses: Upon request, we can explore other options like anti-burglary glass or tinted glass.

3. Metal Finishes: The Durable Aesthetic of Your Glass Partition

The steel finish gives your glass partition its final character and ensures its durability. We offer several options to match your style and the intended use of your glass partition.

Raw Steel (with varnish):
- Characteristics: Retains the authentic and industrial look of the metal. A clear varnish protects it from oxidation.
- Aesthetics: For a bold and minimalist loft look.
Powder Coating (Oven-Baked Epoxy Paint):
- Characteristics: The most durable finish, resistant to shocks and scratches. Wide range of RAL colors available.
- Aesthetics: Allows for perfect integration into any decor, from classic matte black to bright white or a more daring shade.
Patina Finish:
- Characteristics: Steel treatment to give it an aged, rusted, or old gold appearance, then varnished to stabilize it.
- Aesthetics: For a rustic chic, vintage style, or a warm atmosphere.
Anti-Rust Primer (to be painted by you):
- Characteristics: The steel is treated with a protective primer, ready to be painted by you in the color of your choice after installation.
- Aesthetics: Offers total flexibility if you desire a very specific color or customization after installation.
