Aluminium framed glass partition systems for offices, hospitals, shopping malls, IT parks and institutional buildings. The most cost-effective glass partition specification for large projects. NBC 2016 compliant. Pan India supply.
Get a QuoteFramed glass partition systems from Railings India use 8mm or 10mm IS 2553 toughened glass in 6063-T5 aluminium frame sections. The most widely specified glass partition type for large commercial, healthcare and institutional projects across India — combining visual openness with structural reliability and NBC 2016 compliance at the lowest cost per square foot of the glass partition range.
Framed glass partitions are the standard specification for commercial office fit-outs in IT parks, SEZ developments and business districts. Demountable systems allow reconfiguration as tenant requirements change — a key requirement for landlord-and-tenant specifications in large commercial developments.
Framed glass partitions for hospital ward separators, pharmacy counters, nursing stations and administrative offices. No horizontal ledges that collect dust — infection-control compliant for NABH-accredited hospital environments. Systems meet NBC 2016 Chapter 4 requirements for glazing in healthcare occupancies.
Framed glass partition systems for mall management offices, retail banking fit-outs, food court separators and anchor store back-of-house zones. Standard mall specification — cost-effective, visually transparent and compliant with mall authority submission requirements.

All framed glass partitions use IS 2553 toughened safety glass, 8mm or 10mm thickness depending on panel size. IS test certificates are supplied with every project. Laminated glass for improved acoustic performance is available as an upgrade within the framed system.
Yes. Our framed aluminium glass partition systems are fully demountable and reconfigurable. This is the key reason framed systems are specified for IT park and SEZ office fit-outs where tenant churn requires periodic space reconfiguration. We supply AutoCAD drawings for reconfiguration planning.
Standard single-glazed framed partitions achieve STC 33–38. For improved acoustic performance, double-glazed framed systems achieve STC 38–44. For spaces requiring STC 45+, we recommend our acoustic glass partition system with laminated glass and perimeter acoustic seals.
Our minimum supply quantity is 300 sq ft. For large project packages (5000+ sq ft), we provide dedicated project management, fixed-price supply agreements and priority manufacturing allocation. Contact our technical team with your floor plan for detailed pricing.
Yes. Our framed glass partition systems integrate swing doors (single or double, with floor spring or overhead closer) and sliding glass doors within the same aluminium frame system. All door hardware is supplied as part of the partition package.
IS-certified toughened glass in NBC 2016 compliant aluminium frame systems. Full documentation for institutional procurement and authority approval.
Systems designed for full demount and reconfiguration. The standard specification for IT parks and SEZ developments with changing tenant requirements.
Lowest cost per square foot in the glass partition range — maximum value for large-scale commercial, hospital and institutional projects.
500+ glass partition projects delivered across India. Factory-direct pricing with Pan India logistics and project management for large packages.

Request a QuoteFramed glass partition aluminium sections are extruded in 6063-T5 alloy — the same architectural alloy used in our window and door systems. Standard frame widths are 38mm, 50mm and 75mm visible face, with the wider profiles providing greater rigidity for taller partitions and better acoustic performance through increased mass. Frame finish options: anodised silver, anodised champagne, powder coat in any RAL colour, and wood-effect powder coat for applications where a warmer aesthetic is required.
The frame perimeter — top track, bottom channel, and vertical mullions — carries the glass load. This is what makes framed systems more tolerant of variations in partition height and slab deflection than frameless systems: the frame can be shimmed and adjusted at installation to accommodate site conditions without affecting the glass specification.
Framed aluminium glass partitions are the most cost-effective glass partition specification for large commercial fit-outs — typically 40–60% cheaper per square foot than frameless systems and 70–80% cheaper than acoustic DGU systems. For SEZ developments, IT parks and corporate campuses with 5,000–20,000 sqft of open-plan floor to partition, this cost difference is significant at project scale.
The trade-off is visual: the aluminium frame is visible at panel edges, which some clients find less premium than frameless. In practice, for most corporate office environments, the framed system looks clean and professional and the cost saving is better applied to other building elements. Frameless makes sense where sightlines and maximum transparency are an architectural priority — lobbies, boardrooms, executive areas.
