Glass partition wall

Post by dtaai-maai »

Our living room/kitchen is quite large and very well supplied with natural light. It runs c. 14 metres front to back of the house on a slight dog leg - imagine 2 adjoining rectangles slightly offset.

I want to cut off that front leg (area hardly used at all) with a fixed partition wall to create an office and free up the spare bedroom I am currently using.

I want glass (probably translucent) to keep the natural light throughout. and a sliding glass door. The sound-proofing would have to be good enough to keep the noise of Thai soaps out...

Glass wall and door together - no more than 3 metres.

Any suggestions about who to go to for a good job that won't be more expensive than rebuilding the house?

Any other (sensible) advice very welcome.

I would try Hua Hin Glass, located near Soi 47

We had something similar done, and you'd be more than welcome to pop around to have a look. Ours cost 10,000 Baht. IMO they did an excellent job. However, our gap was only about 1.5 metres. PM if you would like to inspect the quality.

You're welcome. Ours was done to make the living room more affordable air conditioning wise, and I reckon it has already paid for itself in a year.
