Nobody Puts Privacy in the Corner… Unless Our Corner Units Are Involved

June 23, 2025

Corners Are Tricky. We Make Them Work.

In healthcare design, corners often create more questions than answers. Spaces like nurse alcoves, hallway turns, and observation points are tight, highly visible, and critical to workflow. Yet standard privacy glazing rarely fits these areas well. That’s why we developed a better option—one that works with your layout, not against it. Our corner units use two of our most trusted products—BetweenGlassBlinds™ and Vistamatic®—paired at a 90-degree angle. Each panel operates independently, but together they create a cohesive solution for privacy and visibility in compact spaces.

Corner Units are Designed for Tight Spaces

Hospital corners serve more than structural purposes. For example, nurse alcoves support charting, monitoring, and fast patient access. However, they often lack the built-in privacy or clean sightlines that other areas receive. By placing or BGB or Vistamatic® Corner units in a corner, you gain clear views and patient dignity—all without visual clutter.

BetweenGlassBlinds™ Corner Units: Cord-Free and Enclosed

BetweenGlassBlinds™ use a set of blinds sealed between two panes of tempered glass. A magnetic slider, located on the outside, controls the tilt. Since there are no cords or exposed parts, these units reduce infection risk and make cleaning easy. When installed hey function smoothly while keeping environments safe and streamlined.

Vistamatic® Corner Units: Clear Control, Clean Finish

Vistamatic® Vision Panels feature three layers of glass with internal privacy strips. A sliding lever or magnetic switch allows staff to open or close the view instantly. These panels support patient safety and staff efficiency, while providing discreet dual-angle visibility with a unified look. Perfect for Nurse alcoves for behavioral health or pediatric care.

Built for Early Specification

These corner solutions aren’t afterthoughts. Architects can plan for them from the start. Each unit installs cleanly within standard wall systems, so detailing is simpler and retrofit surprises are avoided. As a result, your layouts remain intact—and your design intent stays in control.

Corners That Work Harder

Every space has a purpose, even the ones that don’t shout for attention. When you use BetweenGlassBlinds™ or Vistamatic® corner units you make the most of tight areas without sacrificing visibility or privacy. Let’s talk about how our glazing solutions can support your next design.
