01 — The Challenge

Large-Format Flexibility
With Architectural Clarity

The project required a large-format glazed partition system capable of spanning a 7,200 mm opening at 2,700 mm height. The brief called for full-height glazing to maintain visual connectivity and maximise natural light penetration across the floor plate — while delivering meaningful acoustic separation for private meetings.

Critically, the system needed to offer multiple configurations to serve the varied meeting formats the space would host — from one-to-one sessions to large team presentations. Speed of reconfiguration without specialist involvement was essential to the client's operational requirements.

02 — The Solution

MG500 Flush Glazed
Sliding Folding Partition

The ModernGlide MG500 flush glazed sliding folding partition was specified for its ability to deliver on every requirement simultaneously. The system uses hinged full-height glass panels that travel along a top-hung overhead track, folding and stacking neatly to one or both sides when the space needs to open fully.

The frameless, flush glass construction means there is no visual interruption — light and sightlines travel freely across the floor plate regardless of configuration. When privacy is needed, the panels close to deliver RW up to 43 dB acoustic performance, enabling confidential meetings without compromising the architectural integrity of the space.
