Office Partition Systems | Optima Acoustic Glass Partitions and IWC Operable Walls

There is no fixed rate per square metre, because no two projects carry the same specification. Cost is driven by the acoustic rating you need, the door types selected, the scope of the layout and the total floor area involved. The most reliable way to budget is to share your floor area, plan drawings and requirements with our consultants, who will assess the project and prepare a tailored quotation.

Far beyond executive offices and meeting rooms. Optima systems are used for focus rooms and phone booths in open-plan areas, libraries and reading rooms, lobbies and client meeting spaces in commercial buildings, and residential settings such as music rooms and studies. Any space that needs to be zoned without being sealed off is a candidate.

No, and this is a common misconception. What decides acoustic performance is whether the figures are backed by certified testing. Every Optima system is tested in a UKAS-accredited laboratory at real installed size rather than from scaled-down samples, which tend to overstate performance, and achieves full-size ratings of Rw 33 to 52 dB. Even the doors, usually the weakest point, are tested: Elite glass doors achieve Rw 39 to 45 dB and sliding doors Rw 39 dB. When comparing partitions, compare the test data rather than the material.

Privacy is set room by room, not sacrificed. Options include sandblasted and applied films, decorative manifestation bands and integrated blinds. Open areas stay bright and transparent while meeting rooms and executive offices become fully screened, and with certified acoustic performance behind the glass, visual and acoustic privacy arrive together. What you get is adjustable transparency, never all or nothing.

Yes. This is the core of Optima's design. Glass-to-glass dry joints and a modular frame mean the system demounts without damaging the building's primary structure. When you relocate, expand or reorganise, the partitions come down, move with you and are reconfigured to the new floor plan. For leased offices and growing companies, that makes them a spatial asset that travels with the business.

When one space has to work at more than one size. A meeting suite that splits or combines by headcount, a ballroom running a wedding in the morning and a forum in the afternoon, a training centre holding several sessions at once. IWC UNIQ glazed operable walls form separate rooms when extended, with sound insulation to STC 48, and open the space back into one when stacked away. Where the layout stays fixed for the long term, Optima fixed glass partitions are the better answer.
