The website’s Wholesale Accounts section is designed for glass artists, studios and retailers to browse and order from Bendheim’s thousands of glasses, tools & supplies.

Customers can now easily access the company’s exclusive collection of Lamberts art glasses online. Bendheim offers Lamberts mouth-blown glasses in more than 500 colors, with additional 5,000 varieties available through the Lamberts factory in Germany. The glass features varying degrees of opacity, shading, streakiness, and seediness. Hand-crafted utilizing the centuries-old mouth-blown cylinder method, each sheet is unique, exhibiting extraordinary brilliance, structure, and optimal light refraction in an extraordinary palette of colors.
Lamberts Art Glass is found in installations around the world. A Project Gallery demonstrates the ability of the glass to bring dramatic color and light into buildings ranging from airport terminals to federal courthouses.  The glass can also be provided in safety laminated form and waterjet-cut to almost any shape by Bendheim.

by Leave a Comment

Bendheim glass is among fifteen carefully selected multi-family building product winners featured in the December issue of Builder News magazine.

The collection, designed by Robert A.M. Stern for Bendheim, encompasses four etched pattern glass designs that draw their inspiration from the visual arts and architectural design. All are produced on ultra-clear low-iron float glass, utilizing technologically advanced methods with particular attention to the strictest environmental protection standards. Etched on both sides of the glass, the designs lend a strong sense of dimensionality and movement, allowing them to dynamically interact with light and surrounding design elements.

 

Joe Barnes Marks 40-Year Career at Bendheim, Company Holds Celebration in His Honor

Bendheim Honors Employee’s Lifetime Achievements and Dedication to the Stained Glass Indusry

 

Bendheim recently celebrated the service and achievements of Joseph “Joe” Barnes, during his 40 year career in the company’s Art Glass division. More than 100 colleagues, customers and friends from New Jersey, New York, Kentucky, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio and Vermont attended Joe’s party to honor his lifetime of dedication to the stained glass industry.
Joe’s career in the stained glass business has spanned 65 years. After serving with the Marine Corps in Japan during World War II, he found his first glass job at Leo Popper’s, importers of specialty glass, almost by accident.  After Popper closed its doors around 1970, Joe joined Bendheim to work in customer service, glass selection, cutting and delivery.
Joe became a favorite among many glass artists through his knowledge of glass, commitment to customer service, and his genuine love of people. During his career at Bendheim, he selected glass orders for customers from around the world and offered much needed “how-to” advice.
Joe was the inaugural recipient of the American Glass Guild’s “Lifetime Achievement Award,” now presented annually as the “Joe Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award.”
“Everyone who has ever met Joe has appreciated his kindness and willingness to help. He has touched the lives of thousands of people throughout his career,” said Robert Jayson, President of Bendheim. “For Joe, it did not matter whether you were a young artist just opening a glass shop or a member of an established studio. He treated everyone as if they were the most important customer.”
Over the years, Joe has seen Bendheim grow from a small, family-owned stained glass business to a national leader in specialty glass serving the international architectural and design community with five divisions, thousands of glass products, and extensive processing capabilities. He will be retiring from Bendheim in early 2011 to begin a new chapter of his life. He plans to move back to his hometown in North Carolina to join his family and pursue his dreams of travel. He also hopes to stay in touch with friends, colleagues and customers.

Etched Glass Featuring Italian Double-Sided Satin Fibers Adds Subtle Luxury to Bathroom Makeover

The DIY Network’s popular show “BATHtastic!” selected Bendheim Cabinet Glass for a major part in the transformation of a home’s outdated bathroom. The episode is titled “Cheap to Chic.”
“BATHtastic!” selects the latest new materials, offers expert design tips and brings do-it-yourself know-how to revitalize any type of bathroom, great or small. In this episode, the show’s host Matt Muenster installs Bendheim Italian etched cabinet glass inserts, featuring a dimensional, double-sided satin fibers pattern, into the bathroom vanity cabinets. The glass brings subtle luxury, visually expands the space, and provides privacy.
Both surfaces of the ultra-brilliant (low-iron), tempered safety glass are acid-etched to produce a satin-like, ultra-smooth surface highly resistant to dirt and stains. Unlike sandblasted and coated glass, the surface of the acid-etched glass is permanent, extremely consistent and maintenance friendly.
Bendheim’s Cabinet Glass enhances the sleek vanity and complements a new crystal-encrusted ceramic backsplash, a pair of sinks with ultra-modern minimalist faucets, and updated lighting. Matching overhead cabinets and custom, built-in Bendheim glass shelves maximize storage. A high-contrast color scheme ties the design together and brings visual impact to the overall remodel at a total cost of $15,000.
