Panther Glass works with medical centres, dental clinics, specialist practices and allied health rooms across Penrith and the Nepean Hospital precinct. Acoustic privacy partitions, frosted vinyl manifestation, infection-control friendly finishes, after-hours installs.
What medical fit-outs need
- Acoustic privacy, consult rooms need Rw 40+ for patient confidentiality. Double-glazed acoustic laminated partitions hit Rw 50.
- Visual privacy without losing light, frosted vinyl applied to glass at the right height range.
- Infection-control finishes, smooth, joint-free glass surfaces are easier to clean and disinfect than painted plasterboard.
- Manifestation lines, required by code on all floor-to-ceiling clear glass.
- Branding, etched practice name on reception glass, frosted patient room numbers, brand-colour back-painted feature walls.
- Out-of-hours install, most practices cannot close during business hours; weekend and after-hours installs are standard.

Frequently asked questions
How private is glass really?
Visually, as private as you want, via frosted vinyl at the patient eye-line. Acoustically, double-glazed laminated gets you Rw 50, which is normal-volume conversation reduced to a low murmur next door.
Can you work on a weekend?
Yes, almost every medical fit-out we do is Friday night to Sunday afternoon so the practice opens Monday morning.
Do you handle Medicare-compliant signage?
We do the glass; your designer specifies the artwork. We apply frosted vinyl or printed full-colour to brand spec.
Can you upgrade existing partitions for acoustic privacy?
Often, yes, we can convert single-glazed partitions to double-glazed acoustic by replacing the panel and stud detail. Saves the cost of removing the framing.
