  • Delivers impressive acoustic performance in a range of styling options and installation methods.
  • The system can achieve a notable acoustic performance of up to 46 dB Rw uncompromised by its slender framework.
  • Available with IsoTec or IsoPro door leafs.
  • Also available as a 'true' partition system (extruded LOFT transoms and/ or mullions), or single-glazed in either bonded or 'True' formats. All are specified separately.

Consult with the manufacturer to ensure the system complies with current regulations BS 5234:1992 non load-bearing screens not protecting a change in adjacent floor level of >380 mm.


For glass load resistance criteria;

  • BS 5234 not applied to “all glass partition screens”.
  • Nominal line load criteria of “short-term impact load” utilised.
  • 0.36 kN/m applied as linear load at 1100 mm above FFL.
  • Glass deflection limited to L/65 or 25 mm, whichever is less under load.
  • Maximum deflection and stress in accordance with the glass performance requirements of EN 572/ EN 12150/ EN 12543/ EN 14179 (where heat soaked).
