Interior glass walls: design for the bold

 What are interior glass walls?

A glass wall is simply a smooth sheet of tempered or laminated glass which serves as a partition between two rooms. It, obviously, differs from a traditional wall – not only with regard to the material used, but also aesthetic qualities. This solution is a good choice, in particular, for modern interiors – where spaciousness, natural light and open plan are important.

Interior glass walls mark a subtle boundary between different zones in a house or between buildings, but – at the same time – give the impression of spaciousness and lightness. Thanks to them, rooms become more open, accessible and user-friendly. Is it worth going for this solution in your own home?

Why should you opt for interior glass walls?

Interior glass walls are not only a fashionable trend, they are – first and foremost – a practical solution with many benefits. Why is it worth spending money on such walls? You already know their most important advantages – let’s elaborate a little on each of them!

Spaciousness and light

One of the main advantages of interior glass walls is that they create an illusion of space. They make rooms more open and allow natural light to flow freely through all the zones. Instead of dark and closed rooms, you get an interior that seems to be brighter, more pleasant and more spacious – all thanks to glass interior walls.

In single-family homes and mansions, glass walls work well in living rooms, which can be merged with the winter garden, creating a cozy space in which to relax. Glass walls allow you to enjoy beautiful views and natural light all year round. They can also separate the kitchen from the living room, creating an open plan that encourages members of the household to spend time together. Where else are glass walls used? It is worth mentioning the office at home or entrance hall, where such solutions are gaining popularity.

Beauty and modernity

Interior glass walls are synonymous with modern design. Thanks to clean lines, transparency and elegance, this solution perfectly fits in with a minimalist, industrial or Scandinavian style. Instead of massive walls that divide the space, glass walls give a touch of modernity and add some lightness to any interior. With the right frames – for example, made of aluminum – this solution can look really impressive, serving as an important decorative piece.

Intimacy and privacy

Even though glass walls may seem to be the opposite of intimacy, modern technology makes it possible to adjust the transparency of the glass. Glass walls can have special shade film, frosted panes or even systems that allow users to change the opacity of the glass at their request (e.g., electrochromic glass). Modern interior glass walls can also have a variety of automatic shading systems that ensure privacy and control the amount of light coming in, but – at the same time – do not visually reduce the space. 

With these solutions, interior glass walls ensure privacy, but – at the same time – do not prevent the light from entering the interior. This solution is perfect for places in which it is important to create a space with separate zones. For example, in bathrooms, glass walls can separate the bath area with a shower or bathtub from the rest of the room, whereas in bedrooms, they can separate the wardrobe from the area where you relax.

Easy maintenance

It is relatively easy to keep a glass wall clean. Unlike brick partitions, which need to be painted or wallpapered over the years, glass surfaces only need to be regularly wiped with special glass cleaners to continue to look good. With the right protective coating, glass is resistant to scratches, stains and dirt, making daily maintenance even easier.
