Channel Glass

Channel glass is a specialty architectural glass for interior and exterior wall applications, distinguishable by its signature linear aesthetic. The U-shaped glass channels are self-supporting, standing as tall as 23 feet (7 m) in a relatively lightweight ¼” (7 mm) thickness. They require minimal perimeter framing, creating virtually seamless glass walls that can be hundreds of feet long and can span across elevations.
