Advice on removing full-length glass partitions from office space

[toadman]

Hi all,

I’ve just taken on a new office space that’s been split into smaller rooms using full-length glass partition walls. I want to open the space up, but I’ve never dealt with this kind of thing before and can’t for the life of me figure out where to start.

They’re full panels of glass (floor to ceiling) as per the photo. I’d like to remove them safely without cracking anything if possible or making a fool of myself.

Has anyone here done this before?
Do they usually come apart from the top track, or do you have to take off trims/caps somewhere first?
And is this something a reasonably capable DIYer can handle, i will be doing this on my own

Any tips, tools, or gotchas to look out for would be massively appreciated.

Some better close ups might help?
See if there is a makers name.
I suspect that they are like a sliding wardrobe door, in that they slide into a top track first, all the way up.
Then slide the bottom into the floor track and it drops down?

Glass is very heavy. You can buy suckers to help handle the sections but it’s likely a 2/3 person job.

Thanks Tigercubrider. I am now thinking i may cover them in gaffa/strong tape and then just smash them one at atime. sadly i have to do the job on my own, i don't need to reuse them so maybe this will be easier.
