How to make a measurement for a glass partition. Measurements for the manufacture of glass structures

Partitions made of glass visually increase the volume of the room and have good light transmission daylight. Glass looks great in combination with wood and metal structures. This feature allows you to create different design options for zoning elements. At the same time, the installation of any type of glass partitions, if you follow the instructions, is available to everyone.

Partitions from glass happen stationary and sliding. The latter, in turn, are divided into five subspecies:

• Coupe - flat glass sheets moving on rollers along guides located at the top and bottom. The bulkhead roller mechanism is installed parallel to the wall or in the in-wall "pencil case".
  
  
• Radius. They are similar to compartments, with the exception of one feature - the curvature of the guides and canvases. Such partition elements can be not only rounded, but also concave or have a complex configuration.
  
  
• Suspended (non-threshold). Equipped with top fixing support only, bottom rail is not used.
  
• Folding. There are two types: "books" and "accordions". They differ in that the first consists of two lamellas, and the second - of three.
  
• Transformable. Combine sliding and swinging doors. These bulkheads are top mounted. From below, the hinged doors are fixed to the latches installed on the floor.
  
  

When choosing sliding partitions, do not forget about the type of room to be delimited. For example, for zoning a room in a “stalinka”, a compartment bulkhead option is suitable.

To separate the kitchen or bathroom, a suitable choice is folding or hanging structures.

Stationary glass partitions are usually chosen if it is necessary to partially divide the room, or erect structural element with an arch, less often with a door. These can be screens made of solid glass with fastening to the wall, framed false walls, glass block structures.

Let's analyze different types of stationary glass walls:

All such false walls transmit light well, give the room airiness, and are decorative. But they have one imperfection - you can not hang a shelf or cabinet.

Partitions made of tempered or laminated glass are perhaps the safest. Distinctive feature- reliability, durability, resistance to mechanical stress and low weight, which contributes to a quick and safe installation.

As for the application, most often they erect a wall of glass blocks in the bathroom, and all-glass partitions - in shopping malls. Frame options universal.

Another type of frame partition is French glazing. Here the glass in the frame is not whole, but divided by imposts. If the wall is damaged, not all glass elements break, which contributes to more quick recovery at minimal cost.

There are also mobile partitions in the form of screens or shelving with glass filling.

An essential tool for installing glass partition walls at home

An independent device of glass interior partitions requires a certain set of tools. Most of them are in every home workshop, for example, a tape measure or a level.

You may also need:

• glass cutter;
• drill;
• screwdriver

Depending on the design of the partition, this list is supplemented.

How to cut glass correctly

When installing glass partitions with your own hands, it is sometimes necessary to turn large sheets of glass into suitable ones for filling a frame or opening. This means that glass cutting will be required.

Here it is important to consider what technologies the glass sheet is made of:

When cutting glass, wear double-layer gloves to protect your hands from cuts.

How to install glass partitions yourself

The construction technology depends on the type of construction. Consider the main options for mounting glass false walls.

How to install all-glass clamping partitions:

Adjustment of a cloth on height is made by means of additional laying or supports. When installing two or more canvases, a gap of 2-3 mm is left between them, filled if necessary with a sealant.

The last step is the installation of decorative covers that snap onto the connectors on both sides and, if necessary, an overlay from the end.

How is the installation of a stationary glass partition on the frame:

The final step is the processing of joints with sanitary sealant and the installation of sashes and fittings.

How to build a glass block bulkhead? For this, two methods are used:

The surface of any glass bulkhead can be decorated with drawings, both with the help of special paints on glass, and with the creation of patterns from vinyl film.

Sliding glass partitions: their advantages, disadvantages

Structural elements of a sliding type zone the space, and at the same time do not “eat up” square meters. Similar false walls:

Installation of sliding glass partitions is carried out using special guide profiles. They can be placed only on the ceiling or on the floor and ceiling.

Rail doors are not mounted on suspended ceiling from GKL, since cracking during operation will cause deformation of both the ceiling and the sliding bulkhead.

Interroom partition elements made of glass give the room style, originality and spaciousness. And you can install them without the involvement of professionals.

Glass structures are used everywhere today: partitions in offices, showers, railings for stairs and balconies, and much more. They are comfortable, practical, very durable, and also fit perfectly into any interior. But it is not so easy to make a high-quality tempered glass product: it is necessary not only to use high-quality, properly tempered material for this purpose, but also to make all measurements correctly. And after the design is ready - to make installation. These procedures require a lot of knowledge and highly qualified, therefore, to engage in measurements and installation glass structures should only be done by experienced professionals.

Why measurements are needed and in what cases they are taken twice

Before starting any work, you need to carefully note all openings, ceiling heights, etc. Usually this happens in one stage: the master comes and in one day finds out all the sizes he needs. But in some cases, the process is divided into several stages. This happens in such cases:

• If the fixings for the glass partition are built into the walls. In such a situation, the specialist takes measurements twice: before finishing. After taking measurements for the first time, the master decides which profiles should be used for this design.
• If sliding systems are mounted. Their elements are attached directly to the ceiling, therefore a preliminary measurement is necessary to find out whether the ceiling will transfer such loads.
• If the sliding door will slide into the wall. In order to save space, some designers make glass sliding doors seem to slide inside the wall. In this case, measurements are also made before the boxes are installed into which the partition will slide. Here everything must be measured very accurately, otherwise the partition simply will not budge.

For measurements, you need a lot of tools: a laser tape measure, a laser level, a plane builder and much more. And, of course, you need a lot of accuracy and skill. Therefore, it is better not to try to take measurements yourself, but to invite the master.

How glass partitions are installed

The method of installing a glass partition directly depends on whether it is stationary or sliding. Let's analyze the stationary option - it is quite simple to understand.

• With the help of a plumb line, markings are made for the future partition.
• Next, the profile is mounted. A layer of rubber is placed under the tires fixed with dowels - this will be more reliable, and the sound insulation is better. this is
• Then squares are attached to the tires from above. They are placed approximately every half meter. Clamps are located on top of the squares - they will fit snugly against the glass so that it does not “walk” in the profiles.
• After that, a sheet of glass is installed - first in the lower mounts, and then in the upper ones. The clamps are tightened and you're done. The main thing is to insert the canvas very evenly and accurately, without any distortions.

With sliding partitions, everything is much more complicated: there are connectors, carriages, limiters, and much more. But even if in theory this idea seems simple to you, it is still better to contact the master: when doing the work, he will take into account such nuances that you might not know existed. In addition, they have sufficient experience and knowledge, because City Glass hires only masters of their craft. Therefore, if you decide to order glass partitions in our company, you will definitely not regret the services of measuring glass partitions.

Measurement has two purposes.
The first is to determine the suitability of openings for the installation of glass partitions and structures and, if necessary, draw up a specification for additional preparation work (altering curved openings, installing embedded parts, etc.).
The second is to define exact dimensions openings, according to which working drawings of glasses and non-standard fittings will be prepared in the future.

In case of errors at the first stage during installation, it turns out, for example, that it is impossible to mount a partition into an existing suspended ceiling, and pipes of a “warm floor” pass under the tile and installation of a door in this place is impossible. If the measurements are taken incorrectly, it may be necessary to rework the manufactured glasses or non-standard parts (and well, if not all)!

The key to a successful measurement is the qualification of the measurer and the availability of the necessary tools. Here we'll talk about them.

1. Roulette.
The simplest tool, which, nevertheless, in a number of situations is more convenient than more expensive counterparts.

2. Laser roulette.
The main tool of any measurer. Modern roulettes good producers are reliable and provide the minimum error. However, it should be remembered that the laser tape measure may not always be used:
- Some types of coatings (for example, translucent marble) reflect the beam of the tape measure so that it gives inflated measurements
- The laser tape measure does not measure the distance to reflective surfaces (mirror, polished metal, etc.)
- It is not always possible to measure the distance to a surface with a strong relief - at the slightest displacement of the tape measure, the reflection occurs from a surface point that is at a completely different distance. The way out is to use mechanical means of measurement in such situations or to “replace” the surface. Masking tape glued to the mirror will allow you to measure the distance to it.

3. Telescopic ruler
Very useful when measuring heights when you can not use a laser tape measure.

4. Laser plane builder.
Indispensable for any measurement. It allows you to check the horizontalness of the floor and the verticality of the walls and determine how many millimeters and in what places they are littered. We prefer to use full-sized models with three laser planes - they can be used to transfer points and lines from the floor to the ceiling and vice versa strictly vertically, to build a right and arbitrary angle. At openings under glass partitions with a width of more than two meters, the usual level is no longer able to solve even the simple task of checking the evenness of the floor. Therefore, we can safely say that it is impossible to perform a high-quality measurement without a laser builder.

5. Electronic level - goniometer.
Useful when you need to measure some angle or line angle (for example, flight of stairs) relative to the horizon.

Today, glass partitions are an integral part of most modern offices. The question naturally arises: how to care for them so that they appearance remained attractive throughout warranty period services?

Unitex is confident that high-quality installed office partitions are durable and reliable structures that are unpretentious in maintenance. Compliance with several simple rules will allow you to always keep glass partitions clean without spending extra effort.

How and how to wash glass partitions

So, the main methods of caring for glass office partitions are wet wiping and washing. Cleaning agents should be liquid, slightly alkaline (with pH approaching neutral). If necessary, you can use a soap solution or a solution based on an unscented shampoo. Powder cleaners are not recommended. Washing water should not be too hot, as this will dull the glass. To wash and clean office partitions, always use soft sponges and non-abrasive products. In no case should you use hard, especially metal sponges. A simple, cheap and reliable way to clean glass is to wipe the glass surface with vinegar and water. Transparent glass without tinting can be sprinkled with water with a little blue added, and then wiped with a soft cloth.

Simple strained glass it is enough to wipe with ordinary glass cleaners every 3-7 days and as needed. Glass with decorative elements included inside the glass sheet are washed in the same way.

All-glass partitions with decorative elements applied to the outer surface of the partition are washed with gentle means so as not to damage the decorative film or paint. Always test new products on the most inconspicuous area of ​​the glass partition surface - for example, in its lower corners.

On corrugated and embossed glass, dust is usually less noticeable than on partitions made of ordinary clear glass. But this is only externally - in fact, dust accumulates on such a partition several times more, because it total area surface is greatly enlarged. To keep the corrugated partition always clean, it should be washed at least once a week.

If there is a stain from food or dirt on the surface of the glass, it is better to immediately wipe it with a wet soft cloth, if necessary with soapy water. If the traces are dried, wipe them with a cleaning solution and let the stains soak, and then wash them clean. It is not necessary to try to clean such dirt immediately, as you can accidentally scratch the glass. It will become matte, and it will be quite difficult to restore its shiny surface.

Clearing profiles

When properly mounted inside, between the wall and the profile, dirt does not get in. However, dust can accumulate in the corners and joints of the profile, as well as on their moving parts. To keep these places always looking neat, they need to be washed as often as glass walls. Be sure to use the correct cleaning products for plastic and aluminum profiles without abrasive inclusions. There is nothing worse than a scratched profile - dust quickly begins to accumulate in scratches, which is extremely difficult to wash out.

The design of our house is a creative process, which allows us to get completely different in functionality, purpose and type of dwelling from the premises of the same layout. A wide variety of new and old materials provide a sea of ​​​​opportunities for the implementation of the most daring projects. For example, to give a dwelling a non-standard look, to change the layout without erecting new walls, glass partitions in an apartment or house allow. Their installation does not require permission, they do not “load” the space, but divide it, blocking out separate zones.

Species and varieties

First, let's talk about the design features of glass partitions. Conditionally, they can be divided into the following groups;

There are also author's options that are difficult to attribute to any type, although most of them are variations on the theme of frame and French partitions made of glass, in which different geometric shapes of the frame and different types of glass are used. It's just hard to imagine how different the results of such experiments can look.

Stationary

Glass partitions in an apartment or house are made stationary or mobile. Ordinary walls are replaced by stationary ones, they are simply made of unusual material. it perfect solution if the fenced-off part of the room is obtained without windows - through glass wall sufficient light penetrates. This technique is still often seen in shared offices: glass partitions mark the boundaries but do not create the feeling of a beehive with small honeycombs / cells. Each has its own working angle, but the room is the same.

Stationary partitions do not fold, do not move ....

Stationary glass partitions in the apartment and house can be found in the bathrooms, where they separate the shower or bath from the rest of the room. They are also called "sanitary glass partitions". This separation provides waterproofing, but does not visually divide the space, which is why even a small bathroom remains spacious. In this case, frameless glazing is more often used. Glass joints are sealed with a transparent sealant, perfectly retain water resistance and do not spoil the appearance. This solution is better for two reasons. Firstly, it is easier to care for, there is nowhere to accumulate water, dirt, salt deposits. Secondly, profiles for frequent contact with water are expensive. So it's a smart decision.

Mobile

Mobile partitions made of glass - this is usually design solutions, which allow different time use the same area in different ways. In this case, the glass wall can be moved. This is a great solution for small apartments, this technique is also used in the design of studio apartments.

Mobile partitions

This technique is also used when combining the kitchen with gas stove and living/dining room. To ensure safety, the room in which the gas appliance is installed must be fenced off and have doors. But the meaning of the association is precisely to remove the partition. This contradiction is solved with the help of a glass mobile wall. It is completely or partially made of glass, sliding / folding doors are installed.

Mobile glass partitions in an apartment can be:

If you can't decide whether you need a stationary partition or a mobile partition, consider the issue of price. Mobile partitions are much more expensive. The difference can be twice or more. If the budget is limited, it is reasonable to make a combined glass partition in an apartment or house - make part of it stationary and part of it sliding.

Types of glasses and their maximum dimensions

The same glass partition can be made from different types of glass. It is important to choose the right parameters performance characteristics material, and for this you need to know their features and properties. If you came up with a similar design yourself, it is better to consult an experienced glazier. Not all designers have all the necessary information, and even ordinary people are simply unaware of some things.

Glass partition can be with doors

Thickness for partitions for various purposes

First of all, you need to decide on the thickness of the glass, which is best used when building a partition. Depends on the type of partition, the place of its installation, the type of glass used.

If the partition is external, it serves to separate the covered veranda, winter garden etc. most likely, you will need a double-glazed window, and this is another story and a different approach.

Conventional silicon glasses

Glass partitions in an apartment can be made of transparent, frosted, patterned, tinted, colored glass, mirrors and their combinations. The size of a glass sheet depends on its type. A sheet of ordinary glass has a width of 1200 mm and a height of 2000 mm. If large dimensions are needed, either imposts are made (additional dividing profiles) or tempered glass is used. It is characterized by higher strength characteristics; when destroyed, the fragments are not sharp, so the likelihood of injury is low. The maximum dimensions of tempered glass with a thickness of 6 to 19 mm allow you to make a solid partition for almost any room: 3210 mm * 6000 mm. The disadvantage of this glass is one: it is expensive. And the larger the sheet, the higher the price.

Triplex can be armored, or it can consist of three glasses glued with two films ...

Laminated glass has even higher strength: duplex and triplex. Sheets of glass are glued with a transparent plastic film (duplex is glass with a film, triplex is two glasses and a film between them. The technology is designed so that the transparency of multilayer glasses does not decrease, breaking the glass does not scatter, but is covered with a network of cracks, the fragments remain hanging on the film. The maximum dimensions of duplex and triplex are 2600 mm * 3100 mm Which glass is better for glass partitions in an apartment: duplex or triplex? best performance for heat and sound insulation. So if a glass partition in an apartment or house separates the room from the street, best options- double glazing or triplex. For an internal partition, you will have to choose between ordinary, tempered glass or duplex.

organic glasses

You can also use acrylic glass or sheet polycarbonate for glass partitions in an apartment or house. They have low thermal conductivity (0.2-0.3 W / (m K)), transmit light well (transparency up to 92%), weigh 2-3 times less (with the same thickness), and are more resistant to shock loads. , cost less. These are their advantages. More organic glass certain temperature have high ductility, so they can be bent, giving any shape. After cooling, the glass retains its specified shape.

Organic glass can be used in the construction of glass partitions in an apartment or house

The disadvantages are that the material melts at not the most high temperatures(250-300°C), scratches easily appear on the surface, which significantly reduce light transmission. There is nothing to be done about melting - you can not install them near heating appliances or open flame. And they fight against scratches by gluing a thin but durable film. Plexiglas thickness - from 2 mm to 50 mm, sheet dimensions - 2050 mm * 3050 mm.

There can be different objects in acrylic glass

Acrylic glass is cast and extruded. Cast - more durable, can be of considerable thickness. Extrusion - thinner (maximum thickness depends on the extruder), can be opaque, light-diffusing, colored. There is also decoacryl, a variety with a matte or smooth surface. various objects can be inserted inside - from sparkles to any small objects. Decorators like to use such acrylic glasses.

Glass blocks and glass profiles

For stationary glass partitions for an apartment or a house, in an office, glass blocks and glass profiles can be used. Both are glassware, but they have different kind and manufacturing technology. Partitions made of these materials transmit light, but are not completely transparent. Visible in best case, silhouettes. Details, even in very good lighting, can not be disassembled.

Glass blocks are poured into certain shapes. Two identical fragments are then combined into one block - a parallelepiped. They have small size, are produced in the form of squares or rectangles, from transparent or colored glass. The edges can be smooth or patterned, and the corrugated surface is usually internal, and the external is smooth.

Stationary partitions made of glass blocks and glass profiles

Glass blocks have good heat-insulating ability as there is an air gap between two glass walls. Of these, like bricks, a wall is laid, but at the same time it is not necessary to lay it apart, maybe a seam in a seam. Glass partitions in a glass block apartment let in light, but are not transparent. This is a good option if you need to isolate, for example, a bath from the rest of the room, put a partition in a long room.

Glass profile - P or U-shaped product made of curved alkaline silicate glass. It is produced in long strips (up to 3 meters), which are inserted into a special profile. The wall can be assembled single, or double, by turning the profiles towards each other.
