Hygienic surfaces
Glass surfaces are smooth, refined and easy to clean. This is a particular strength wherever wall areas, reception or treatment areas are looked after regularly.

Area of expertise
Hygiene works best when it is part of the planning from the start.
Medical rooms need more than a visually light division. What matters are easily reachable surfaces, discreet zones, robust details and solutions that fit neatly into reception, treatment, laboratory or sanitary areas.
Structure without feeling cramped
Partitions and glass doors guide patients, staff and visitors clearly through rooms without needlessly sacrificing light and orientation.
Privacy in the right measure
Clear glass, satin-finish areas, motifs or printed surfaces combine openness with discretion for consultation, treatment and laboratory areas.
Infection protection at reception
Glass can create protective zones at the reception desk, the counter or the handover point and at the same time be integrated neatly into the existing reception.
Made-to-measure work for existing buildings
Practice and clinic rooms are rarely standardised. The site survey, connections, door positions and ease of cleaning are checked for each project.
Robust details
Fittings, edges, seals and glass types are planned so that the solution stands up to daily operation in a medical environment.
Areas of use
For rooms where cleanliness and orientation go hand in hand.
Practices, clinics, laboratories and infection protection all involve rooms in which glass surfaces have to provide clear structure and remain easy to clean in everyday use.
Practice and reception
The reception desk, waiting areas and consultation areas can be organised to be brighter, clearer and at the same time more discreet.
Clinic and ward
Glass separates functional areas, supports orientation and looks high-quality without making corridors or rooms feel heavy.
Laboratory and technical areas
Smooth glass surfaces and transparent dividers help to structure work areas neatly and clearly.
Treatment and sanitary areas
Wall panels, shower areas and wall surfaces can be planned with few joints, easy to care for and matched to the way they are used.
Infection protection
Reception counters, handover points and sensitive contact areas can be protected with glass in a way that is functional and visually neat.
Conversions in existing buildings
Photos, sketches and rough measurements are enough for the first assessment, before a consultation, a showroom visit or a site survey follows.
Advice
Glass surfaces, partitions and infection protection at a glance
The key decisions depend on use, cleaning, discretion and the existing building. These modules help to make your project tangible for the first enquiry.
01 Glass wall panels and wall surfaces
For treatment, sanitary, laboratory and functional rooms, glass surfaces with few joints are particularly worth considering.
- smooth, easily reachable surfaces for regular cleaning
- consider colours, motifs or printed surfaces to match the practice's identity
- clarify cut-outs and connections early with photos or sketches
02 Partitions and glass doors
Glass separates areas, preserves light and can guide routes through a practice, clinic or laboratory more effectively.
- with or without a door frame, depending on the existing building and the effect you want in the room
- privacy through satin-finish, textured or printed areas of glass
- match fittings and the door function to daily use
03 Infection protection at reception
Protective zones should be functional without looking improvised.
- plan the counter, handover point and speaking area according to how they are used
- take cleaning, edges and openings for passing items through into account early
- match the appearance to the reception, its colours and the existing furnishings
04 Shower and sanitary areas
In medical facilities, bright, robust and easy-care shower areas are a visible mark of quality.
- consider glass showers, enclosures and wall panels together
- match seals, water drainage and ease of cleaning to day-to-day operation
- plan the site survey and installation with the existing building and its use in mind

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about glass in medical areas
Which glass solutions are suitable for medical areas?
Typical options are glass wall panels, glass partitions, glass doors, protective screens at reception, shower areas and wall surfaces with few joints for practices, clinics, laboratories and sanitary areas.
Does glass make sense for hygiene in a medical environment?
Glass can make sense because it allows smooth surfaces that are easy to clean. Which solution is suitable depends on the room, its use, cleaning and technical requirements.
Can infection protection be integrated so that it looks neat?
Yes. Glass at reception or at handover points can be planned so that protection, cleaning, passing items through and the effect in the room fit together.
Can privacy, motifs or the practice's colours be incorporated?
Yes. Textured glass, satin-finish areas, prints, motifs or coloured wall panels can support discretion, orientation and the practice's identity.
Which documents help with a first assessment?
Photos, rough measurements, a sketch or a floor plan are helpful, along with notes on use, cleaning requirements, privacy and the area in question.
Planning a practice, clinic or laboratory with glass?
Send photos, rough measurements or a floor plan. Griesshaber will clarify whether a glass wall panel, a partition, a glass door, a protective screen at reception or a combination is the right next step.
