Stainless Steel Framing Process for Glass Partitions
t432-14

A stainless steel glass partition frame is made to measure after an on-site survey, a written drawing and client approval, then fabricated, finished and installed in sequence. Following this workflow keeps the glass fit accurate, the finish consistent and the installation schedule predictable for commercial spaces.
Why Stainless Steel for Glass Partition Frames
Stainless steel is a practical choice for glass partitions in offices, shops and clinics because it resists corrosion, holds a clean line over time and suits both modern and traditional interiors. Its surface can be brushed, polished or finished in a matte tone, so the frame can match other metalwork in the space.
Compared with aluminum, stainless steel offers a firmer, more solid look in slim profiles. Your architect or interior designer can help decide which finish and profile best fit the traffic and cleaning demands of the area.
Step 1: Inquiry and Photos
The process starts with a short inquiry. Send photos of the space, the wall or ceiling conditions and any drawings you already have. Describe how the partition should work: fixed panels, sliding doors, or a vitrine with shelves.
Early information helps us spot site issues, such as uneven floors or limited headroom, before anyone visits the site.
Step 2: On-Site Measurement
Our team measures the opening on site, checking the floor, walls and ceiling at several points. Uneven surfaces are recorded so the frame can be adjusted during fabrication rather than corrected later.
- Opening width and height at top, middle and bottom
- Floor level and wall plumb
- Glass thickness and type required
- Access route for panels into the building
Step 3: Drawing, Specification and Approval
Based on the measurements, we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering profile sizes, glass sizes, the stainless steel grade and finish, fixings and any door hardware. You review and approve these documents before production begins.
Approval at this stage prevents costly changes later. Any adjustment you request is recorded in a revised drawing so everyone works from the same version.
Step 4: Production and Finishing in Our Workshop
Once approved, the frame is cut, shaped and welded in our Tel Aviv factory at Rival Street 37. Stainless steel sections are checked for square and straightness during assembly, and the glass is sized to suit the finished frame.
The frame then receives its surface finish, such as brushing or polishing, and is protected for transport. Working in one workshop helps keep the finish consistent across all panels of the same project.
Step 5: Installation and Final Check
On installation day, the frame is fixed to the floor, ceiling and walls according to the approved drawing. The glass is then set in place, and gaskets or sealants are applied as specified.
- Check level and plumb after fixing
- Confirm door movement and hardware operation
- Clean the stainless steel and glass
- Walk through the finished partition with the client
Frequently asked questions
How long does the full process take?
Timing depends on the size of the project and the site conditions, so it is confirmed in the written specification after measurement. Our team will give you a clear schedule once the drawing is approved.
Do I need to be present for the on-site measurement?
It is helpful if someone with decision-making authority is present, so questions about layout and finish can be answered on the spot. If that is not possible, share contact details and clear access instructions.
Can the frame be changed after approval?
Changes are possible, but they are recorded in a revised drawing and may affect the production schedule. Reviewing the drawing carefully before approval avoids most of these changes.
Is stainless steel suitable for high-traffic commercial areas?
Yes, stainless steel handles frequent contact and regular cleaning well, which makes it a common choice for offices and shops. The exact grade and finish should be chosen with your architect or engineer.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is approving a drawing before the site has been measured carefully, which leads to fit problems later. Another is choosing a finish without considering how the space will be cleaned and used day to day.
Our recommendation
Measure the opening at several points, not just once, and share any uneven floor or wall conditions with us early. Confirm the stainless steel grade, finish and glass specification in writing before production starts.
Summary
A stainless steel glass partition frame is produced smoothly when measurement, drawing approval, workshop production and installation follow a clear sequence. Careful early information makes the final fit and finish much more reliable.
