Division 10 Glass Systems
Commercial Interior Glass Systems From an Experienced Glazier
Division 10 glass systems have become a larger part of commercial office construction, tenant improvements, and interior renovations. These systems include glass office fronts, conference rooms, movable and demountable partitions, glass doors, sliding systems, and other specialty interior applications.
While these products may be specified within a Division 10 scope, much of the work is familiar territory for an experienced commercial glazing contractor. Glass, aluminum framing, doors, hardware, measurements, and installation all require the same attention that goes into other architectural glazing systems.
S. Albert Glass also works with general contractors, architects, and owners to provide Division 10 glass systems as part of commercial construction projects. Our involvement can begin during pre-construction and continue through installation.

Glass Systems for Commercial Interiors
Different areas of a commercial interior can require different types of glass systems. Private offices may call for glass fronts and swing doors, while conference rooms may require greater attention to privacy and acoustics. Other areas may benefit from sliding doors, demountable walls, or glass that can accommodate future layout changes.
S. Albert Glass can work with the specified system or evaluate other approaches based on the plans and intended use of the space.

More Than Demountable Partitions
Demountable partitions are one part of the Division 10 market, but they are not the only interior glass option available.
Fixed architectural glazing, framed and frameless office fronts, glass doors, sliding systems, and hybrid configurations can all be used to create commercial interiors. A project may also use several types of glass systems based on the needs of individual spaces.
This flexibility allows the glazing approach to follow the actual requirements of the floor plan rather than applying the same system throughout the entire project.

Pre-Construction Review for Division 10 Glass Systems
Division 10 glass packages can benefit from glazing input before products are ordered and installation begins. Early review gives our team an opportunity to look at how the specified system will work with openings, adjacent construction, doors, hardware, and other portions of the project.
During pre-construction, our team can review drawings and specifications, glass dimensions, framing, hardware requirements, installation conditions, and sequencing. We can also identify questions that should be addressed before construction begins.

Coordinate the Glass Package with the Construction Schedule
Interior glass is often installed during a busy stage of construction. Finished floors, ceilings, wall systems, electrical work, millwork, and other interior trades may all be progressing around the same time.
S. Albert Glass works within the commercial construction schedule to coordinate field measurements, submittals, procurement, and installation requirements for the glass scope. When our team is responsible for multiple glazing systems, we can also coordinate related work without adding another glass contractor to the project.
Our Division 10 glass capabilities can include:
- Interior glass office fronts
- Glass conference rooms and meeting spaces
- Demountable and movable glass partitions
- Fixed architectural glass walls
- Swinging and sliding glass doors
- Framed and frameless glass systems
- Architectural glass hardware
- Glass replacement and ongoing service
This gives general contractors a commercial glazing resource for both the original installation and work that may be needed after turnover.
Plan for Service After Construction
Interior glass systems are used every day. Consider the space’s usage requirements before selecting a Division 10 system. Proprietary components, replacement hardware, and the availability of local service can affect how easily a system can be maintained several years after installation.
At S. Albert Glass, our commercial service department can assist with glass replacement, door and hardware repairs, lock changes, office modifications, reconfigurations, and other ongoing needs.
Discuss Your Division 10 Glass Package With S. Albert Glass
Division 10 glass systems should work with the design, construction schedule, surrounding trades, and long-term needs of the building.
S. Albert Glass can become involved during pre-construction to review the specified system and continue through field coordination, installation, and future service. If there is a practical alternative worth considering, our team can also present it before the glass package is finalized.
