Optima 117 is a single glazed partitioning system which can be used to stunning effect. Minimal head and base channels and discreet glass to glass joints create the illusion of vast areas of unsupported glass.
Additional information
With silicone or dry jointed options, this unique mullion free system can be constructed in straight, facetted* or curved form (*silicone only). Dry joint options include a clear PETG profile, flush aluminium dry joint or our revolutionary Nebula™ dry joint, which is exceptionally minimal, with just 1.5mm visible on the front face.
We understand the importance of client confidentiality and Optima 117 can therefore accommodate toughened glass or acoustic laminated glass depending upon your acoustic requirements.
We also know that many new builds have high levels of vertical movement of the slab and in response to this we have designed a range of head details for Optima 117 which can accommodate up to +/-40mm deflection.

FAQ
Interpanel Joints
A minimal silicone joint can be applied to the glass panels. Alternatively, a number of dry joint options are available; namely a clear PETG dry joint, flush aluminium or truly minimal, patented Nebula™ jointing profile. The dry joint options aid relocatability offering tax benefits to the client. The glass panels can be curved or otherwise, facetted if vertical silicone joints are specified.
Manifestation
Applied film, ceramic bake, digital printing or sand-blasted designs can be applied to the glass, providing the offices with a varying degree of privacy.
Doors
Optima 117 can accommodate a wide range of door types to suit both aesthetic and acoustic requirements. Please contact our technical team for further information.
Fire Resistance
½ hour integrity only fire rating can be achieved by using a steel head and base channel, fire rated glass and vertical intumescent joints between the glass panels. Please consult our technical team when specifying.
