Why choose glass and aluminium room dividers for a development?
It is more important than ever to have a good understanding of what homeowners are looking for in a new home. Glass and aluminium internal room dividers areas allow you to create functional spaces in the home and make better use of a home’s footprint without compromising on light flow. Although homeowners are now prioritising hybrid living and working – they do not want to lose high levels of natural light in the home. Internal doors that feature large glass panels and aluminium frames are a perfect solution to this.
Choosing a durable material such as aluminium will also help to boost your reputation as a developer and provide you with peace of mind that the modern doors you provide are extremely reliable.

A durable and environmentally friendly option, aluminium has become an increasingly popular replacement for steel doors.

Choosing a glass and a for a property development
Due to the flexibility of aluminium, aluminium internal room dividers are often available in a huge range of colour options and sizes, and many manufacturers, such as Origin, offer a bespoke service. For example, if you choose Origin Internal Doors, you may choose how many vertical and/or horizontal glazing bars to suit the desired aesthetic of the property. When choosing an aluminium and glass internal room divider for a property development, you should consider the following factors:
Colour options
The colour option you choose for an internal door should depend on the style and aesthetic of the property, and the colours of other doors inside or outside of the property. For example, do you wish to match the colour of the internal doors with the external doors? Black is a classic, flexible option that can be suitable for a range of properties.
Which configuration option is ideal for the property?
When choosing aluminium internal doors with glass, such as those provided by Origin, there's a wide range of configurations available, so think about your requirements and preferences before making a decision. At Origin, you can choose between a French Door or a Single Door configuration, or a combination of both options along with a corner post to allow you to create an entire new room. We also offer Fixed Screens which can be used above or to the side of configurations, or can be used in standalone apertures.
Sustainability
Choosing a sustainable door option can improve your reputation as a property developer, and sustainability is something to consider when choosing a new internal room divider. Consider whether the material used is recyclable and sustainable. For example, Origin uses aluminium that is 100% recyclable, and is one of the most environmentally friendly metals around.

Choosing a design
Many internal room dividers, such as the Origin OI-30, allow you to add horizontal or vertical glazing bars. To achieve the ideal room divider style for your property development – you can either increase or decrease the number of glazing bars. For a more traditional design, you may want to increase the number of glazing bars to match the style of the property. On the other hand – if you are looking for a more simple, minimalistic design, you may want to decrease the number of glazing bars, leaving you with larger glass panels.
Accreditations
Does the internal door supplier have any notable environmental accreditations to demonstrate their sustainable approach? Origin has ISO 14001 which demonstrates we have a solid environmental management system in place with a focus on continuing to improve on our impact. We also have the BES 6001 which is given for responsible sourcing of construction products, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability and an ethical and responsible approach to sourcing and operations.
