by Leave a Comment

Bendheim opens a new showroom in Passaic, N.J., showcasing a comprehensive selection of decorative architectural glasses from the company’s collection of more than 2,000 varieties. The venue is designed as an educational resource enabling architects and designers to increase their knowledge of decorative glass and explore custom design solutions.
Visitors to Bendheim’s Passaic, N.J., showroom will have access to the latest decorative laminated glasses, as well as etched, patterned, back-painted, mirrored, and fine mouth-blown art glasses. Bendheim’s extensive manufacturing capabilities – housed within the production hall next door – allow architects and designers to collaborate with the company experts, creating unique products to suit specific project requirements.
“The most innovative solutions, often resulting in award-winning applications, emerge when design professionals and glass experts work together to solve a challenge,” said Steven Jayson, Vice President of Bendheim. “The showroom is designed for these creative collaborations, with hundreds of inspiring glasses and our experts at hand.”
The showroom is conveniently located near five major highways, including the Garden State Parkway and Route 80, and is easily accessible by train or car. The new space joins Bendheim’s New York City-based architectural glass showroom, serving architects and designers since 1989.

Bendheim’s Optichroic® Glass & Unitized Channel Glass Wall Systems Win Product Innovation Awards

by Leave a Comment

Bendheim is the proud recipient of two of the inaugural Product Innovation Awards (PIAs) by Architectural Products Magazine. PIAs recognize innovation in products, materials, and systems that lead commercial and institutional design to new heights. Bendheim’s Optichroic® Laminated Dichroic Glass was honored in the “Surfaces: Multi-Surface” category, while Bendheim’s Channel Glass Wall Systems earned an award in the “Products in Application” category.

Winners of Architectural Products’ PIAs are outstanding products and applications within the built environment. A panel of 44 architects, designers, and specifiers selected the winning entries from approximately 300 submissions for their superior qualities, functionality, and performance.

“Employing contemporary technological innovation to advance design is the hallmark of architectural progression,” commented one of the judges evaluating products in the Surface category. “The Optichroic Laminated Dichroic Glass achieves that goal.”

Bendheim’s Optichroic® Laminated Glass is the first dichroic glass of its type for architectural applications, available in maximum sheet sizes of 54 by 120 inches. Due to its unique ability to capture and radiate the full color spectrum of light, the glass has been featured in a variety of applications, including signage at the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business and the Times Square Building in New York City, where Optichroic helped modernize elevator cabs with dazzling contemporary wall cladding.

Bendheim Wall Systems won the award for its role as the main exterior design element in The Schermerhorn House, an affordable housing project in Brooklyn, NY. Ennead Architects utilized Bendheim’s Lamberts® channel glass in a highly creative manner for this budget-sensitive project. Our innovative H60 Unitized Frame System permitted the 57 channel glass units to be pre-assembled off-site and hoisted into place allowing the building to be enclosed more quickly than conventional site-built assemblies. The horizontal orientation of the channels maximizes the use of annealed glass and minimizes the amount of more costly tempered glass. Commingling obscuring textured glass channels with clear vision channels eliminated the need for integrating separate window units. The 57 double-glazed, unitized H60 assemblies incorporate over 7,000 square feet of our channel glass, creating the appearance of glass columns rising up the facade. It is the largest horizontal channel glass application in the United States.

Bendheim’s new production line represents the latest in film lamination technology for the manufacture of decorative laminated safety glasses. It can incorporate a virtually unlimited range of specialty interlayers, including custom colors, fabrics, metals, wood veneers, and photographic images.

“Acquisition of the new lamination line is just one of Bendheim’s many efforts to offer our customers the finest quality, most advanced products,” said Donald Jayson, Sr. Vice President at Bendheim. “We continually reinvest in our business to ensure Bendheim is at the forefront of decorative glass innovation.”
The new machinery applies heat and pressure in a vacuum chamber to permanently encapsulate film interlayers between two or more lites of glass. The resulting laminated glasses offer unique aesthetics, enhanced sound control properties and safety, in sizes up to 80” by 130” and thicknesses up to 1.75”.
The new lamination line further expands Bendheim’s extensive, 100% vertically integrated New Jersey production facilities. In addition to manufacturing safety laminated decorative glasses, Bendheim’s capabilities include tempering, water-jet-cutting, edge polishing, back-painting (color coating), and custom CNC glass fabrication.
