Ventilated Facades

Ventilated glass facade by Bendheim on the exterior of the Kansas City International Airport parking structure.

Openness + Protection: Improved Aesthetics, Security and Lower Energy Usage

Create ethereal buildings and budget-smart complex facade geometries with Bendheim’s ventilated glass facade systems. Our decorative ventilated façade systems increase air circulation, provide well-lit, safe, open spaces, and help reduce a building’s energy load and footprint.

A natural fit for thoughtful, aesthetic design that shapes stunning and resilient structures that appear light and crystalline, merging aesthetics, efficiency, and sustainability.

All Bendheim façade components are fully customizable. Architects can specify custom fritted, digitally printed, decorative laminated, etched, bird-friendly, or other specialty glass types. Depending on the façade design, glass type, and wind loads, maximum glass panel size can reach up to 21 feet.
