Moving and Reconfiguring Glass Walls: A Tenant’s Guide
How to move or reconfigure demountable glass partitions: survey, disassembly, reuse, new panels and what to budget.
Key takeaways
- Survey the new layout before disassembly.
- Ceiling heights decide whether panels can be reused.
- Budget for new seals, extra panels and making good.
- Fixed systems are not designed to be relocated.
The process
Moving a demountable system involves a survey of the new layout, careful disassembly and protection, transport, and reinstallation with new seals. Our frameless and demountable hub explains which systems can be moved.
What can be reused
Frames, doors and hardware are usually reusable. Glass can be reused if heights match; otherwise new panels are needed. Seals and gaskets are normally replaced.
Budgeting
Allow for labour, transport, new seals, any extra panels, and making good to the old space. See when demountable makes sense.
Questions
Can you move partitions you did not install?
Often, yes, if the system is demountable and in good condition. We survey first.
