Fusion™ - Glass Partitions With Wood Doors Constitutes An Innovative Mixed Media Concept: Cool
DORMA Interior Glass Wall Systems bring the benefits of glass to the workplace - transparency, daylighting,
versatility, efficiency, space saving, and low cost of ownership. The wall systems come in a range of sleek but
rugged minimalist designs and configurations so you can select the system that best matches your project's
functional and aesthetic requirements.
DORMA Interior products and solutions help create balance between function and aesthetics in the interior
architecture of office units and professional practices. They provide spatial efficiency, transparency, smooth
transitions between spaces, comfort and flexibility.
Fusion™ - Glass partitions with wood doors constitutes an innovative mixed media concept: cool
transparent glass walls merged with warm wood doors. Intriguing options become possible for both modern and
traditional décors. Despite the sophisticated combination of elements, the design remains clean and simple - no
door control hardware is visible on the door.
PURE™ - Unframed glass partitions with swinging and sliding doors create simple, elegant fronts with extended
transparent sightlines. Sliding doors work well wherever space is limited. A sleek top track and a small guide at
the sill allow for a smooth transition between office and corridor.
PURE Enclose™ - Framed glass partitions with swinging doors provide the aesthetic advantages of glass
walls with additional structural and acoustical performance of full framing. The 1-3/4 by 4-1/8 inch metal
channels at the floor, ceiling, and walls effectively dampen sound transmission and add structural definition
without impeding sightlines. Full framing also accommodates uneven existing floors.
Privé™ - Enhanced privacy glass partitions with sliding doors provide the transparency of glass combined
with features to enhance privacy and security. With an innovative blend of metal and glass, the Privé design
fully frames the glass panels - adding rigidity and greater sound protection without interrupting sightlines. When
fully closed, the door edge rests in a brush-lined channel built into the frame post.
DORMA REVEAL™ - Demountable glass partitions with sliding or swinging doors are made from fully
framed, demountable, double glass panels. By pairing transparency with high levels of sound protection,
DORMA REVEAL provides openness and security. A busy conference room can be adjacent to private offices
without causing noisy distractions. Behind transparent glass walls, a private conversation remains private.
