Read moreOverview
Glass office fronts are the backbone of a modern commercial interior. They define private offices, conference rooms, and collaborative zones without giving up daylight or sightlines into the floorplate.
Cityproof designs, fabricates, and installs both frameless and framed systems — from minimal-profile dry-glazed walls to aluminum-framed swing and sliding door fronts. Every front is detailed to coordinate with the ceiling grid, raised floor, and adjacent drywall conditions so the finished installation reads as one continuous architectural element.
On occupied tenant floors, the partition system is the difference between a corporate interior that reads as 'one design' and one that reads as a stack of leftover assemblies. We treat the front, door, hardware, and adjacent drywall as a single architectural element and detail it that way from shop drawings forward.

Why it matters
Daylight & openness
Floor-to-ceiling glass pushes natural light deeper into the floorplate and reduces dependence on artificial lighting.
Reconfigurable
Dry-glazed and demountable systems can be modified, relocated, or expanded as teams grow.
Architectural fit
Slim perimeter channels and butt-glazed joints align cleanly with ceiling grids, floor finishes, and adjacent drywall.

Frequently asked
Frameless vs. framed — which is right for our office?
Frameless reads more open and architectural and is preferred for executive floors and showcase spaces. Framed systems are more economical, accept a wider range of door types, and accommodate sliding configurations cleanly.
Can these systems be reconfigured later?
Yes. Dry-glazed and demountable platforms are designed to be unglazed, moved, and reglazed with minimal disruption — useful as floor layouts change.
How is acoustic performance handled?
If speech privacy is required, we move to our acoustic glass platforms — double-glazed fronts, perimeter gasketing, and acoustic-rated doors.
How long is typical lead time from order to install?
Eight to twelve weeks for standard configurations, longer for custom finishes or oversize glass. Field-verified shop drawings start as soon as the contract is signed.
Do you coordinate with the ceiling and drywall trades?
Yes — we issue our shop drawings to the GC for coordination and attend the trade-coordination meetings on larger fit-outs.
