Divide without closing off : Aluminium solutions for open yet structured spaces

Glass partitions with aluminium profiles are the ideal alternative to solid walls, bringing lightness, modernity, and modularity to interior spaces. Thanks to their refined design and discreet, high-performance fixing systems, they offer subtle separation while maintaining the fluidity and brightness of the space.

Using extruded aluminium profiles, you can create fixed or removable partitions, freestanding or built-in structures, suited to all types of interiors. Combined with technical accessories such as sealing joints for improved sound insulation, invisible connectors or ultra-slim frames, these solutions are both highly functional and visually refined.

Key benefits of aluminium glass partitions

• Define without darkening : The transparency of glass maximises natural light flow, ideal for smaller spaces preventing a closed-off feel.
• Create a sense of spaciousness : Minimalist aluminium profiles keep the structure discreet, maintaining an open flowing atmosphere.
• Custom design options : Wide variety of glass types (clear, frosted, fluted, textured, tinted, with decorative inserts) and profile finishes (anodised, powder-coated, brass or steel effect).

Advantages for professional spaces

In offices, these partitions foster a collaborative work environment while providing acoustic insulation with optional seals and double glazing. They help structure open-plan areas without blocking light or compromising design.

Advantages for residential interiors

In the home, they provide a stylish divider between kitchen and living room, a bedroom and home office, or a bathroom and master suite without weighing down the space. Thanks to modular fixing systems, they can be paired with matching sliding doors, offering even greater flexibility for semi-open layouts.

Thanks to the aluminium and SEED’s wide range of made-to-measure profiles and accessories, glass partitions become true architectural features combining design appeal with technical performance.

Aluminium sliding doors offer a smart and elegant way to structure interiors while maintaining a seamless flow and an open, airy feel. Thanks to the extruded aluminium profiles, they combine minimalist design, durability and ease of use, perfectly suited to the needs of interior fit-out professionals.

Sliding door performance largely depends on the quality of the track and guiding systems. Various configurations are available to suit different design and layout needs :

• Visible or concealed tracks for a clean and discreet finish.

• Pocket systems, where the door slides into the wall cavity to free up floor space

• Bespoke solutions with soft-close dampers, ensuring smooth and silent operation

Why choose an aluminium sliding door?

• Lightweight and easy to handle : aluminium makes it possible to manufacture large-format doors that remain easy to operate, unlike heavier steel or timber alternatives.
• Contemporary, streamlined look : available in anodised, powder-coated, matt or textured finishes, for seamless integration into both modern and traditional interiors.
• Discreet and space-efficient : unlike hinged doors, sliding doors help free up space and improve circulation, especially in pocket configurations, where the door disappears completely into the partition.
• Advanced customisation options : clear, frosted, reeded or tinted glazing can be combined with slimline profiles for a sleek, elegant result.

Practical applications in workspaces

In office settings, sliding doors help divide areas flexibly creating enclosed or semi-open meeting rooms without blocking natural light. Combined with glass partitions, they offer both transparency and acoustic performance, especially when fitted with seals and anti-vibration tracks.

Ideal configurations for residential use

At home, aluminium sliding doors are perfect for separating a kitchen from the living area, a bedroom from a dressing room, or a bathroom from a master suite, all while maintaining a light and contemporary feel.

Thanks to SEED’s expertly engineered systems and accessories, aluminium sliding doors become a key feature in any smart interior layout, combining aesthetics, performance, and everyday comfort.

Aluminium interior glazing is the ideal solution for defining spaces while allowing natural light to flow freely. Inspired by industrial design, it suits a wide range of interiors, from modern Scandinavian and minimalist styles to more traditional décors. Thanks to extruded aluminium profile systems, it offers a refined, lightweight and highly customisable alternative to traditional steel-framed glazing.

Why choose aluminium interior glass partitions?

• Slimline and elegant construction: ultra-thin aluminium profiles maximise light while avoiding any sense of visual clutter.
• A wide range of finishes : matt black powder coating for an industrial look, white or beige for a Scandinavian feel, or anodised finishes for a sleek contemporary touch.
• Exceptional durability : unlike steel, aluminium won’t rust and performs well in humid environments making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
• Low maintenance : aluminium is a long-lasting material that requires very little care, a quick wipe with a soft cloth is all it takes to keep its appearance intact.
• Modular and made-to-measure designs : include fixed fanlights, solid lower panels, horizontal or vertical cross profiles, and even matching hinged or sliding doors for a cohesive look.

Example applications and layout ideas

1. In a semi-open kitchen : an aluminium-framed internal window with a solid base panel separates the space without fully closing it off, preserving flow and visual connection.
2. In a hallway : aluminium-framed glass partitions can create a sense of depth and help light travel further into the home.
3. In a bathroom : with frosted or textured glass and moisture-resistant profiles, a glass partition can define a walk-in shower or section off a dressing area.

With SEED’s precision-engineered aluminium profile systems and accessories, interior glazing becomes a key architectural feature, combining elegance and performance to create bright, structured, and timeless interiors.

An alternative to fixed partitions, these aluminium-based systems offer a flexible way to organise space according to your needs.

• Lightweight structures that allow natural light to flow while subtly shaping volumes.
• Maximum flexibility : open or close off a space partially depending on how it’s used throughout the day.
• Contemporary design with refined metallic finishes.

These solutions are ideal for open-plan offices, flexible meeting rooms or even a cosy reading nook in a living room.

Aluminium is far more than just a material, it’s a premium solution for interior fit-out professionals, combining durability, flexibility and refined aesthetics. Used in partition systems, glazed panels, sliding doors and other architectural structures, aluminium has become a go-to choice for architects and interior specialists.

An eco-responsible and fully recyclable material

Aluminium is 100% recyclable without losing any of its properties. With well-established recycling channels, it offers a low environmental impact and enables the production of profiles with a controlled carbon footprint. Choosing aluminium systems means opting for a long-lasting, environmentally conscious solution.

Exceptional design versatility

Thanks to its malleability and extrudability, aluminium offers remarkable freedom in design:

• Ultra-slim profiles to maximise natural light and create a light, open aesthetic in glass partitions and screens.
• Modular systems that adapt to both residential and commercial needs, sliding door rails, concealed hinges, self-supporting structures.
• Customisable finishes : anodised, powder-coated, textured or with metallic effects (steel, brass imitation), seamlessly blending into any interior style.

Outstanding strength and durability

Unlike other materials, aluminium is rustproof, moisture-resistant and retains its shape over time. It’s ideal for interior use, even in demanding environments such as kitchens or bathrooms. Combined with technical accessories such as sealing gaskets, high-performance rails or invisible fixings, aluminium guarantees a reliable, long-lasting installation.

Effortless maintenance

Aluminium requires no special treatment to maintain its appearance. A quick wipe with a soft cloth and soapy water is all it takes to keep profiles looking their best.

Thanks to its technical and aesthetic advantages, aluminium along with its compatible profile and accessory systems stands out as the ideal material for creating modern, durable and elegant spatial solutions, meeting the needs of professionals and homeowners alike in search of innovative interior design options.
