Glass for desk dividers
Desk dividers:
why glass
and which glass?
why glass
and which glass?
In this post-COVID 19 period, choosing glass for desk dividers, rather than other materials, is an investment and not a mere expedient. We all know that glass costs more than plexiglass and other polymers (it did before the pandemic too), so why spend more? The reason lies in the material itself, glass, and its unique properties of unalterability and hygiene. Unlike other materials, glass does not absorb: a non-abrasive cloth and an alcohol-based detergent are sufficient to clean and disinfect its surface.
But when more is required of its surface in terms of visual privacy and design, a more sophisticated kind of processing is called for: satin finish. Unlike other technologies employed for the same purposes, the chemical process of satin finishing transforms the surface of glass with greater precision than sandblasting, and permanently as opposed to applying PVC film. However, not all satin finishes are the same.

The satin finish on Madras® products is perfectly uniform, constant, lustrous and smooth to the touch, as well as being made with eco-compatible processes in compliance with Italian and European environmental protection legislation. This insistence on product quality is in the very DNA of Madras® and has made it possible to continuously improve the creative process and develop innovative products for many applications, now including glass partition screens and desk dividers.
For these applications, and where the choice of glass is dictated by design criteria and long-term considerations, Madras® is an investment in terms of design, durability and functionality: not just a short-term expedient to offer your client but a solution of intrinsic worth.
Of all the models in the catalogue, we recommend the following three for producing glass desk dividers:
ECOSAT SCREEN
Its special satin finish is certified anti-scratch and anti-stain, so it’s also writable. An innovative and precious satin finish for structures exposed every day to the “aggressions”, great and small, of a working environment, so it’s perfect for installing in public places where design too is at a premium, such as offices, hotels and restaurants.

MADRAS® NUVOLA
The progressive satin finish of this model provides a privacy function. Its sober, reassuring look gives the space where it’s installed a uniquely expressive charge. It’s also simple to maintain: watch the video.
