Movable Glass Walls Improve on Function and Form

摘要

Aesthetics have traditionally been the major motivator for installing glass walls, but functionality is also important. New products offer advancements in both features. Demountable glass walls increase functionality by decreasing the cost and effort required for reconfiguring spaces. The higher the churn or change rate in a facility, the sooner the return on investment. "Traditional glass wall construction was done sequentially or progressively. You'd put one piece in, seal it, and so on," explains Kris Yates, vice president of architectural products at manufacturer Allsteel. "Our walls use unitized, modular construction, which allows them to go up in half the time and be switched out very easily."
