Transform Your Home with Interior Window Walls
Glass separator walls and interior window walls let you divide rooms without blocking natural light or making spaces feel cramped. These transparent barriers use tempered or laminated glass panels mounted in aluminum, steel, or wood frames to create distinct zones while keeping your home bright and open.
Create private meeting rooms and executive spaces while maintaining visual connection across the workplace. Businesses value the productivity boost from natural light distribution.
Separate kitchens from dining areas or entryways from main living spaces. They define zones without sacrificing the open-concept feel that modern homeowners prefer.
Have become essential as remote work continues. These installations provide quiet, professional workspaces that can be closed off during video calls yet remain connected to family areas.
Divide large entertainment spaces into conversation areas or separate media zones from reading nooks. The transparency maintains sight lines while creating functional boundaries.
Clear glass maximizes light flow. It works well for offices, studios, or anywhere you want to maintain visual connection between spaces. Privacy concerns? Add window treatments or choose frosted options.
Frosted or patterned glass provides privacy while still transmitting light. Bathrooms, bedrooms, and dressing areas benefit from these choices. Patterns range from subtle textures to bold designs that become architectural features themselves.
Tinted glass reduces glare and adds color. Bronze, gray, or blue tints create different moods. Some homeowners match tints to their casement windows for design consistency throughout the home.
Paint Color Options: White
Interior windows function differently from exterior ones. They don’t need weatherproofing or thermal breaks between floor slabs, which simplifies installation requirements. The glass itself—whether clear, frosted, or patterned—sits in frames that attach directly to your ceiling and existing structure.
Tempered glass offers safety. If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. Laminated options add another layer of protection with a plastic interlayer that holds fragments together. For rooms where noise matters, acoustic laminated glass can reduce sound transmission by up to 50 decibels.
Energy-efficient windows use Low-E coatings to control heat transfer. While interior window walls don’t face outdoor temperature extremes, these coatings still help when separating heated and unheated spaces like basements.
Novatech makes patio doors in several operating styles, all using the same quality approach as their entry doors.
Framed partitions use aluminum or steel channels around each glass panel. These cost $35–$80 per square foot installed and work well in rooms with traditional aesthetics. The frames add structural support and make installation straightforward.
Frameless designs create sleek, uninterrupted transparency. Specialized hardware clips and channels hold panels in place without visible frames. Expect to pay $50–$150 per square foot. These suit modern homes but need professional measurement—even small errors show up clearly.
Double-glazed units place two glass panes with an air gap between them. This configuration improves both sound control and thermal separation. Budget $80–$120 per square foot. Homeowners use these when creating bedroom suites or home theaters where privacy matters.
Sliding and folding systems let you open or close spaces as needed. A home office becomes part of the living room when not in use, then transforms into a private workspace during calls. These flexible options run $90–$180 per square foot due to their track hardware and engineering.
| Project Scope | Glass Type | Price Range (Installed) | Typical Room Cost |
| Basic framed partition | Single-pane tempered | $35–$80/sq ft | $3,500–$8,000 |
| Frameless design | Single-pane tempered | $50–$150/sq ft | $5,000–$15,000 |
| Acoustic partition | Laminated acoustic glass | $60–$100/sq ft | $6,000–$10,000 |
| Double-glazed system | Insulated glass unit | $80–$120/sq ft | $8,000–$12,000 |
| Sliding/folding wall | Tempered with track system | $90–$180/sq ft | $9,000–$18,000 |
| Fire-rated partition | Fire-rated glass | $100–$200/sq ft | $10,000–$20,000+ |
Several factors affect final costs beyond glass type. Custom sizes cost more than standard dimensions. Curves or angles require specialized fabrication. Ontario building codes may require permits for structural changes, adding $150–$500 to project costs. Our team handles permit applications as part of our turnkey service, ensuring your installation meets all requirements.
Labor represents roughly 30–40% of total project costs. A basic framed partition in a 10×12 room might need $600–$800 in labor, while frameless designs with custom hardware could reach $2,000 or more.
Our installation specialists at Total Home Windows and Doors typically complete interior window wall projects in 3–5 days for standard residential rooms. Larger projects or those requiring structural modifications take longer.
Professional glaziers visit your home to take exact measurements and evaluate structural conditions. Glass cannot be trimmed on-site, so precision matters. They assess whether your ceiling and floor can support the partition weight—glass weighs roughly 6 pounds per square foot for single-pane tempered glass.
Custom glass panels are cut and tempered at the manufacturing facility. This process takes 1–2 weeks depending on glass type and complexity. Frames are prepared and hardware is assembled during this phase.
Installation teams prepare the room by marking mounting points, ensuring floors are level, and protecting existing finishes. Any required structural modifications happen now. Permits are obtained if your project requires them under Ontario building codes.
Mounting channels are secured to ceiling and floor structures. Glass panels are positioned carefully and fixed into place using specialized hardware. Joints are sealed, frames are aligned, and final adjustments ensure panels sit plumb and true. Labor costs run $10–$40 per square foot depending on system complexity.
Studies from Natural Resources Canada show rooms with ample daylight reduce eye strain and improve mood. Interior windows bring light from exterior-facing rooms deeper into your home's core.
When you add functionality without sacrificing openness. Real estate agents in the GTA report that homes with modern glass partitions often sell faster than comparable properties with traditional walls. Buyers appreciate flexible spaces that adapt as life changes.
Standard single-pane tempered glass blocks minimal sound, making it suitable for separating a home office from a hallway but not a bedroom from a television room. Acoustic laminated glass performs better, though it costs more.
Glass doesn't harbor dust mites or allergens like drywall. Regular cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps partitions looking new. Unlike vinyl windows that face weather damage, interior installations last decades with minimal care.
We are so pleased that we went with Total Home for our new door. Eugene was very knowledgeable and helped us get the door we always wanted. He was available for any follow-up questions and made us feel taken care of as customers. Nazar did a FANTASTIC job installing and we are so happy with the final product. No complaints from beginning to end (a rarity with home renovations)!
We got 4 quotes from various window installers. 2 doors and 16 windows. Opted to go with TH because offered the best price, and neighbours had a good experience. Professional/friendly installers. Sales rep Alex was super helpful along the way.
I honestly don’t know where to start—everything about this experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, Vitally impressed me with his professionalism. He walked me through the entire process, gave me a tour of the factory with a wide selection of samples, and offered the best price I found on the market. Within just five weeks, the windows were fully installed. The quality of the windows and materials is excellent, and the installation was flawless. Vlad and his team arrived early, worked efficiently, and paid attention to every detail. They were polite, respectful, and took the time to clean up thoroughly after the job was done. I also appreciated how patient they were with all my questions throughout the process. The finishing and air sealing are top-notch. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend Vitally, Vlad, and their entire team. This has been one of the best service experiences I’ve had.
Fantastic! These installers were unbelievably fast and efficient. I was expecting to need to do touch-ups on the trim etc afterwards, but they left everything looking pristine. I literally just had to re-hang curtains and that was it. Eugene walked me through a potentially confusing rebate process, and kept in touch even when he was on vacation (sorry about that Eugene!). I happily recommend them for window installation, quality of product, and customer service 🙂
The crew arrived on time replaced and installed all 19 windows the first day. The second day patio doors were replaced and installed and all trim completed.
Said, Eugene and TotalHome team did a terrific job in installing the windows and doors in my premises. It was a complete replacement and the entire process was handled by Alex and the total home sales team very well.
Total home came to replace a windows today Vlad the installer was very professional clean and quick highly recommend them for all your window needs.
The windows from total home windows and doors transform my house. The house has never looked better. Vlad did an incredible job installing them. The process was very smooth.
Nazar and his team were exceptional for our big windows and doors job! They made all of the new brick work look seamless and kept us informed with every part of the project. Our windows and exterior doors are stunning which is thanks to their install and trim expertise. Alex was also amazing to work with. Will be calling them back for all future projects for family and friends.
They are very good at what they do and pay attention to detail every step of the installation. This was a very smooth and stress free experience , I couldnt recommend them more . I will be using them again when the windows need replaced .
We recently had new windows installed by Total Home Windows and Doors, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. A big thank you to our project manager, Eugene, who guided us through everything—design options, product selection, and government loan process. He made what could have been a complicated process feel simple and stress-free. His professionalism and support were outstanding. We’re also very happy with the quality of the windows and especially the installation, which was completed by lad Val and his crew. They were truly amazing—friendly, professional, efficient, and very, very clean. They treated our home with great care, and it shows in the final result. We’d also like to thank the office staff at Total Home for always being friendly and helpful throughout the process. Everyone we dealt with made us feel like valued customers. We highly recommend Total Home to anyone looking for windows or doors—and if you can, ask for Eugene. He’s the best. Thank you again to the whole team!
Fourth wonderful experience with Total Home Windows and Doors! This time we had a custom sized patio door installed and we are thrilled. Our sunroom screen door (old and shabby) wasn’t closing properly. And Eugene (our amazing sales rep) suggested replacing it with a sliding door. Something we never considered and it was the perfect solution! We were so happy that Nazar did the install. He was over last year installing windows, and did a super job. Nazar and his assistant were clean and meticulous. And super friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend this great company. After the first job, they had me as a customer for life.
The installer Boris was amazing. You went above and beyond. I didn't have to ask him to do anything. He was already on top of everything that I needed and more. The utmost professional. Highly recommend this company.
The process started with a meeting at our house with Eugene, who was very friendly, very helpful, and eager to earn our business. Their pricing was incredibly fair, and we ended up choosing Total Home to replace the windows on our entire house. When the date came for the work to finally begin, they sent a team of 4 people who worked incredibly efficiently and were able to replace two dozen windows in a single day. They came back one other day to finish the trim and clean up. I was stunned that they did such a great job in such a short amount of time. We are very happy with the result and with the level of professionalism and easy communication thoughout the whole process. Would very highly recommend working with Total Home.
Vitaly and team helped to replace all our windows including main door and patio. I will highly recommend them as they are very well positioned to give best quotes in the market. The quality of windows was perfect.
Our Experience with Total Windows and doors has been fantastic. We got 6 Companies to give us a quote for 25 windows and 2 patio doors. Alex our Sales representative was very helpful with the entire process, Alex gave us the best quote, and great service. The Installation crew was very professional and did an amazing job. Eugene and Said took control of every aspect of our renovation from beginning to the end. Our Windows look great. I highly recommend this company.
From the initial consultation through to the installation, Total Home was great to deal with. The windows also look great. The price was also much more reasonable than many of the more well-known companies. I highly recommend this company for window replacements.
Many thanks to Alex and his team who helped to replace our front door back in November 2024. Very professional and well executed according to our wish. Great job and highly recommend this company !
Vitaly and team replaced all of our windows and doors, including install of a new bay window and sliding patio door. The entire experience from showroom selection, support on specifics for door with sidelights, application for greener home credits, and install, detailing, and cleanup were a great, professional experience! The new windows and doors are a huge step up over our previous builder windows, and the three panes (although a bit pricier, though marginally so with the credit) offer amazing sound barriers and have had a noticeably positive impact to heating and cooling bills. We’d highly recommend total home windows and doors for your projects!
Just a smooth transaction from start to finish. But what really stood out, was the level of quality and professionalism from the Installers. These guys worked so well as a team and it was a pleasure having them in my home. The install was quick and efficient with no hiccups. They were very detailed and there was almost zero dust or mess when they were done which was a huge surprise with how much work is actually needed for install. And most of all, they were very polite, had a great attitude, and I hope they let me know when they are in the area so I can make them espresso(s) haha
Excellent work! Had three windows and one front door replaced. Highly recommend Nazar and his team!
The house had old wooden frame windows and after almost 35 yrs they needed replacing because of drafts. Vitaly was wonderful... didn't just tell me about his products but also had the value add of telling me about rebates and loan programs, told me about pros and con of window changes I was considering. <br> <br>Nazar's installation team was great. It's a big job and keeping the mess to a minimal was hard. He really paid attention to the details (like I would). They were always on-time and worked hard through out the day.
From sales to the office staff to the installation team all was seamless they did a fantastic job of installation would use them again. The price as very reasonable.
Just had 11 windows and two doors replaced by Total Home Windows and Doors. I requested a consult in February and met with Vitaly, who was very knowledgeable and gave us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. Communication was easy and we were able to tour the factory to select a door. Vitaly went over the various options and answered all of our many questions professionally. Once we signed the contract, it took about 5-6 weeks until installation. The installers arrived promptly on the set date and took care to protect our floors and ensure our furniture was out of harms way. Eugene, Said and the rest of the installation team were respectful and efficient. The job was finished in two days and the team thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. The windows are great quality and I can already feel a difference in my home. I would highly recommend this company if you are shopping around - they care about what they do and it shows in their work.
After requesting several quotes from various contractors to retrofit my parent's home with new windows and doors including insulation top-up and sill replacement, Total Home, was selected based on my interactions with Mike B. He was friendly and professional who provided me with a detailed and reasonable quote for the project that was within my parent’s budget. He was in constant contact with me throughout the job. The Total Home team were amazing with installation of the insulation, window sill, windows and doors and went above and beyond expectations in many cases . As an example, the insulation technician (Farook) noticed that the bathroom fan vents were not properly vented through the roof and corrected the issue for me. The windows and doors crew, led by Eugene / Said, were professional and courteous who did an awesome job working in the brutal cold without complaints. I couldn't be much happier with the project and would have no reservations about recommending Total Home for your project.
I recently had replaced my patio door. I'm very glad that I went with them. The work was done even earlier than expected, the installers were amazing, did the whole job within 2.5 hours, cleaned everything and there was attention to details. Also they are priced very reasonably. I would highly recommend them.
Weve engaged Total Home Windows and Doors to change a large patio door and 3 windows on the main floor, as the original builder failed to install proper insulation and water was getting into the house. <br> <br>Eugene came to our place promptly and proposed a couple of solutions and price points to allow us to replace the door / windows. We have been in touch throughout the entire process, and he provided updates on the manufacturing and installation timelines. <br> <br>Nazar went way above and beyond in doing proper fixes once the door and windows had been removed and the extent of damage became visible. Nazar also performed extra work to ensure the siding, and the new door / windows are well integrated to provide proper insulation. The installation was smooth, and the team cleaned up after themselves properly. <br> <br>Everything looks great and no more water comes into the house. Exceptional work, and I could not be happier with the result.
We are thrilled with our experience with Total Home Windows and Doors - from start to finish! We have a very unique situation with our front door: it looks like a double door entry from the outside, but 2/3 of the second door has a closet behind it. We had multiple businesses come to quote, but Alex at Total Home Windows and Doors was the only one who could show us exactly what kind of custom solution they could offer, and at the best price! Communication was excellent with the company during the buying and measuring process, and today Nazar came for our custom install. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of our home while making fast work of getting our new door and sidelight installed. Sharing photos of before, during, and after to see the unique situation. We are thrilled and would 100% recommend this business for your door needs.
Every interaction with Total Home Windows and Doors was excellent. Vitaly provided us with all of the information that we needed to make an informed decision. And Vlad did a great job installing our new front door and two patio doors. Everything looks great and the quality of the work shows. I highly recommend.
prefect installation! thank you Vazgen for fast and clean job!
Great insulation done by vlad
Vitaly and his entire team were fantastic! They were professional and did a wonderful job replacing our windows in our townhome. Vazgen who did our installation was efficient and professional and their workmanship was excellent. They cleaned up after themselves and our windows look fantastic! I would (and have) recommended them to friends and neighbours.
I just had my windows replaced by Total Homes, and it was a fabulous experience. From the start working with Eugene, walking us through the process, to the expert installation led by Valeri it couldn't have gone any better. The windows look amazing, and built to last!. Very highly recommend.

Glass partitions cost $35–$200 per square foot depending on type and customization. Framed systems fit modest budgets while frameless or acoustic options cost more. The reality is installation quality affects long-term value.
Adding a sliding door or hinged door to a partition increases costs by $800–$3,000. Track systems, hardware quality, and glass size determine the final price. Selecting appropriate door styles ensures proper fit.
Drywall costs $1.50–$3 per square foot installed, making it cheaper initially. However, glass offers better light distribution and easier maintenance. Search your priorities—appearance versus budget—when deciding.
Framed acrylic panels cost $20–$40 per square foot and provide similar transparency. Polycarbonate sheets offer another budget option. These alternatives lack glass durability but allow light flow while reducing expenses.
Glass shows fingerprints and requires regular cleaning. Privacy needs may require frosted treatments. Acoustic performance varies—standard glass doesn’t block sound well. Installation detail matters for safety and structural integrity in residential settings.
Interior partitions typically don’t require permits unless they’re load-bearing or affect fire safety. Local building codes vary across Ontario. Our team verifies requirements, allowing you to proceed with confidence and proper documentation.
Patio doors with large glass panels work well for dividing indoor-outdoor spaces. Frosted acrylic, fabric panels, or sliding windows offer vision and collaboration between rooms at lower costs than custom glass walls.
Standard drywall remains cheapest at $1.50–$3 per square foot. For semi-transparent options, corrugated plastic panels cost $10–$15 per square foot. These lack glass aesthetics but suit temporary divisions or budget renovations.
Single tempered glass panels run $35–$80 per square foot for framed installations. Frameless panels cost $50–$150 per square foot. Specialized acoustic or fire-rated glass increases prices to $100–$200 per square foot depending on thickness and certification.
