As we increasingly measure companies by their culture, workplace design has never been more important. And, with the average office size having shrunk by 30% over the last decade plus, to 175 sq ft per employee, the onus is on architects to create bold designs that maximise space, light and customer impact, without compromising on privacy or staff wellbeing. Glass partitions offer an opportunity to reimagine or repurpose layouts. That design flexibility isn’t just in relation to layouts, but to the broader aesthetic. If you want your furniture and décor to take center stage, glass partitions can fade gracefully into the background, but if you want your glass to be the main event, it can achieve that too! Endless permutations – limited only by your imagination.

We understand that when you choose to overhaul your workspace and incorporate glass wall interiors, you’ll have questions. At MetroWall, we want to provide as much value to our readers and customers as we can, and so we’ve decided to put together a brief FAQ to help you get started as you consider whether or not MetroWall and our products are the right fit for your commercial project. 

As workplaces and workforces evolve, so do our views on the ‘ideal’ office layout for optimal practicality and productivity. Ultimately, the only true solution is an outcome that allows flexibility for the future – a solution like glass wall interiors. We’ve compiled a list of some of the top reasons our clients choose glass wall interiors. 

Doors are a critical feature in every commercial project. Our glass wall system are compatible with a variety of options. Which one you select depends on a number of factors. Here are the top three things to consider when selecting a door with one of our glass wall systems.

As of April 2025, nearly 70% of companies now have formal return to office (RTO) plans. Some are sticking with a hybrid schedule, while others are requiring employees back to the office full-time. For those Design and Construction industries, this means we have a massive responsibility to create spaces that are not only functional, but also inspiring. Here at MetroWall, we’re experts in designing premium glass partitioning, and we work with clients to redevelop workspaces to find safe solutions tailored to your environment.

ADA compliance is a critical component of making accessible and inclusive commercial environments for all users. But meeting these needs can be challenging for architects and designers. This is why having a trusted glass wall expert, like MetroWall, is so important. Some of the most common challenges we see A&D professionals facing are:

MetroWall’s Seth MacGregor and Vince Gulotta recently spoke with Metropolis Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Avi Rajagopal. In this DesignTV episode, the trio discusses MetroWall’s unique blend of sustainability and precision manufacturing, our commitment to delivering top-notch service with a local supply chain, and how our premium glass wall interiors can meet any project’s aesthetic, budget, or acoustic requirements.

Value engineering is part of every project as architect and design professionals work to find a balance between cost, quality, and functionality. But although it can be beneficial, value engineering can be stressful as the project kickoff date draws closer or if a project is already underway. Specifying a dependable and knowledgeable partner like MetroWall early on can help minimize the value engineering required for glass wall interiors down the road.  

Having MetroWall’s expert team on site to install glass wall systems significantly improves project completion timelines and safety. Our on-site practices actively mitigate risks and promote a secure work environment.
