Introducing TurnKey™: Quick-Assembly Glass Wall Systems

by Leave a Comment

New Interior Cladding System Offers Unparalleled Versatility and Reliability

Fast installation and flexible design options are the key advantages of our new quick-assembly glass cladding system. Created to facilitate rapid interior wall transformations, TurnKey™ uses completely reversible connections to install glass cladding panels. It is also the first Bendheim system to incorporate artisanal mouth-blown art glass.

TurnKey is a patented, petite clip system that does not require the use of adhesives or expensive glass drilling. The 1” clips are far smaller than traditional stand-offs. Their miniature design is ideal for a range of glass sizes, including our mouth-blown glass panels. The system accepts a wide variety of additional glass options, including back-painted, mirrored, etched, textured, decorative laminated, digitally printed, and dry-erase glass marker boards. It provides designers with virtually unlimited opportunities to revamp interiors – lobbies, feature walls, donor walls, writable wall claddings, and more – fast and on budget.

TurnKey is ideal for panelized interior claddings. It easily installs floor-to-ceiling glass walls in confined spaces or those without access to freight elevators. The system can be used for both opaque and translucent walls. An integrated LED option offers budget friendly back-lighting.

Fittings and channels are available in custom hues to match any desired aesthetic. Color matching helps maintain clean design lines with any glass type – transparent, translucent, or opaque. Please view our TurnKey brochure for more information.

Architectural Glass Takes a Decorative Turn to Enhance Aesthetics & Comfort

 

Low-Iron "Waterfall" Fluted Textured Glass

Low-Iron “Waterfall” Glass

The popularity of workplace privacy is sparking a demand for textured glass walls and partitions. We are continuing to respond to this growing trend with the introduction of new privacy glass designs, offered in ultra-brilliant low-iron glass. Our expanded textured glass collection is one of the most diverse in the architectural glass industry.

“Waterfall”, one of the recent introductions, is a linear privacy glass texture in 3/8” (10 mm) thickness. It features an organic micro-fluted “cast” design with a hint of rhythmic waviness.

From a distance, it evokes the soothing appearance of cascading water. The ultra-brilliant low-iron glass obscures views, while allowing maximum daylight. Its light-diffusing and glare-reducing properties are ideal for privacy-oriented office spaces.

A leading software development company’s new headquarters is the first project to feature our new “Waterfall” glass. The 60,000 square foot office space provides a mix of private and open collaborative work spaces. It embraces the needs of the hip creative brand and caters to its artistic millennial workforce. Our linear textured glass walls support the multi-functional design and enhance the verticality of the space.

“Waterfall” is one of the many recent low-iron glass textures to be introduced by Bendheim, including  “Corduroy” and “Solar”. The glass is available in safety tempered and/or laminated form, in sizes that can accommodate tall floor-to-ceiling applications. Our vertically-integrated glass fabrication facilities offer the opportunity to tailor each design through the addition of custom colors, interlayers, graphics, and more.

The “Lite” SatinTech™ mirrors provide softened reflections, creating luminous feature walls for a variety of applications, including hospitality, commercial, and residential interiors. The laminated etched mirrors display a sense of depth as they capture movement and accentuate colors in the space. The mirrors are available in a range of sophisticated earth tones, including pale and dark bronze and several shades of grey.

SatinTech™ Pastel Collection

The reveal of this new palette comes on the heels of our recent ADEX Platinum Design Awards for the Houdini Unlocked™ and SatinTech™ Pastels. Both architectural glass collections gently disperse light and eliminate unwanted glare.

“Mirrored etched glass is a ‘quiet’ but powerful design element that can transform the space,” said Donald Jayson, Bendheim’s Senior Vice President. “Our carefully chosen color palette offers a contemporary aesthetic ideal for today’s design.”

Our new SatinTech mirrors are durable and maintenance friendly; a great fit for high-traffic environments and applications requiring safety glass, including elevator interiors. They are available in sizes up to 60” by 120”, in ¼” approx. thickness.

Bendheim’s Restoration Glass® Adds Chic Vintage Character to Brooklyn Residence

by Leave a Comment

A 19th century Brooklyn landmark, turned contemporary residence, features our Full Restoration Glass®. The “antique” hand-made glass features a delicate waviness and occasional small air bubbles, adding classic character and style to the kitchen and master bathroom.

Restoration Glass® is handmade using centuries-old techniques to ensure quality and authenticity. It exhibits mild surface distortions, an occasional air bubble, and other characteristics that can only be found in original mouth-blown and antique window glass. The distinct aesthetic of the glass makes a dramatic impact on architecture.

White Arrow Studio designed the 2,000-square-foot luxury residence to embrace the original detailing and history of the building. The designers selected period-inspired architectural materials to convey an authentic vintage vibe with a touch of modernity and elegance.

Natural light, transmitted through Restoration Glass®, creates dynamic reflections similar to those off rippling water. “This is one of the reasons we selected Bendheim glass” said Keren Richter, Interior Designer at the White Arrow Studio. “We loved the characteristic wavy appearance of the glass, which refracts in an interesting way when touched by light. During specific times of the day, the glass casts stunning water drop reflections on the walls.”

Bendheim’s Restoration Glass® is architects’ and designers’ preferred choice for classic-style home and building renovations. It is found in our country’s most prestigious restorations, including The White House, Monticello – Thomas Jefferson’s Home in Virginia, and Mark Twain’s House in Missouri.

It is available in two varieties, “Full” and “Light,” exhibiting two different levels of distortion. Full Restoration Glass® has a more pronounced texture and accurately represents antique window glass made in the 17th and 18th centuries. Light Restoration Glass® is less distorting and closely resembles window glass found in structures from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Construction Specifier Magazine Publishes Cover Story on Our Glass Rainscreen Systems

See-through rainscreen systems

“The Construction Specifier,” the official magazine of the Construction Specifications Institute, presents readers with an informative editorial about Bendheim’s open ventilated glass rainscreen systems.

Titled, “See-through rainscreens – Looking at the age of open, ventilated glass facades,” the article highlights the aesthetic and performance benefits of ventilated glass facades. In a properly designed rainscreen assembly, glass repels 90 to 100% of the wind-driven rain and moisture. It can comprise the entire facade for non-conditioned spaces, such as transit and parking facilities, or over-clad the performance walls of conditioned spaces.

Written by Said Elieh, Director of Technical Design for Bendheim Wall Systems, the cover story educates architects, designers, construction managers, and specification writers about glass rainscreens and moisture protection, installation methods, testing requirements, and contemporary applications. It highlights the benefits of glass, including its unique ability to transform mundane structures into exciting modern buildings. Glass is an excellent architectural material. It evokes a range of positive associations—prestige, openness, and brightness. It is also exceptionally maintenance-friendly, resisting permanent staining and graffiti.
