Many of the latest building codes are now demanding glazing systems to achieve U-values as low as U-0.32, including framing. Meeting these benchmarks requires a holistic systems approach. Bendheim channel glass systems can achieve a center-of-glass U-value of U-0.12, offering architects and builders the ability to provide an ultra-efficient building envelope.
“Unlike traditional glazing systems, our channel glass systems design only requires support at the head and sill,” says Director of Sales for Bendheim Wall Systems, Peter Stattler. “That minimalist framing reduces thermal bridging, lowers U-values and streamlines the path to code compliance.”

The result is a high-performance façade that is energy efficient, cost-effective and architecturally refined. Lightweight and easy to install, the Bendheim channel glass system delivers large-scale, light-filled walls with minimal visual interruption and maximum thermal control. Bendheim channel glass panels are lightweight, easy to install and provide larger, uninterrupted glass walls that bring in natural light while maintaining optimal insulation.
Also, approximately 95% of Bendheim's product catalog now includes third-party Health Product Declarations (HPDs).
