Channel Glass Systems

Single & double-glazed channel glass wall systems for a range of interior and exterior applications. From interior glass walls and partitions to exterior high-performance facades and rainscreens.

Key Benefits

Channel glass is a U-shaped, translucent, machine-rolled architectural glass. Its unique geometry allows it to withstand imposed forces in ways conventional flat glass cannot. Relatively lightweight ¼” (7 mm) thick channel glass can achieve far greater spans than regular flat glass, reaching limitless widths and heights up to 23 ft. (7 m).

The unique channel glass system frame design requires the glass be captured at the head and sill only. Channel glass can create sweeping, virtually seamless glass walls uninterrupted by metal frames, including glass-to-glass corners and serpentine curves.

Bendheim offers a variety of channel glass wall systems, both single and double-glazed, for interior and exterior applications.
