Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt

Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.

  • In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
  • For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
  • Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.

Interior glazed partitions in the canton of Basel-Stadt

In Basel, many residents live in buildings from the turn of the twentieth century with high ceilings, rooms in enfilade and windowless corridors. A tall glazed partition, running up to the ceiling, carries light from the bedrooms into the hall. In Kleinbasel as in Gundeldingen, most homes are rented: without the property management company's go-ahead, no drilling is possible. Industrial sites converted into lofts offer vast open floors, ideal for full-width glass partitions. In Riehen, villas with gardens often opt for a glazed separation towards the conservatory. For an original wall in the historic centre, consult the municipality beforehand.

  • Under a high Basel ceiling, plan an intermediate transom: it stiffens the partition and makes replacing a pane easier.
  • If mouldings decorate the ceiling, ask for a recessed fixing that preserves them rather than a frame fitted over them.

Frequently asked questions

What details should I send with a glass partition request in Basel-Stadt?

Send the approximate dimensions of the opening, a few photos of the room and the type of wall involved. State the style you want, the frame material and the type of glass, for example clear, frosted or laminated. This allows the company to plan a site visit and suggest a suitable design.

Can an existing wall be opened for a glass partition?

Send available plans and explain whether the opening already exists. A load-bearing wall needs assessment before alterations; the partition specification alone cannot establish structural feasibility. Ask who will arrange any structural study and preparation of the surrounding wall.

What should I compare in glass partitions quotes?

Compare frame profiles, glass specification, opening mechanism and the finish around the partition. Establish whether wall preparation, painting and final measurements are included, rather than comparing a supplied frame with a complete fitted partition.

How should I prepare for the glass partitions visit or work?

Clear the measuring area and identify radiators, sockets or other services near the proposed opening. Choose the door movement with furniture positions in mind, and agree how the occupied room will be protected during fitting.
