Sliding partition walls

Hillaldam Coburn has added two sliding partition walls to its Glassmaster Omega range. Omega Type GG, designed for internal applications, is ideal for spaces that need dividing into visible rooms, such as shop fronts and conference rooms. The glass is hung at the top of the door, so individual panels can be moved without floor tracks. Omega Type RG, a framed glass wall, can be used internally and externally, and includes movable glazed panels with operable seals.
