Privacy glass technology

The innovative Lyto technology provides complete blackout in just a few seconds for windows, doors, privacy glazing in bedrooms and bathrooms, skylights and entry doors. The solution also has potential in buildings where control of daylight and the comfort and privacy of occupants is particularly important, such as healthcare and educational facilities.  

The technology is sleek, adaptable and the shade is completely contained within a double or triple insulating glass unit. With no mechanical parts, this new shade solution isn’t subject to the mechanical failures. The shade is activated in seconds by passing a small current through the conductive layers creating an electrostatic attraction between the ultra-thin shade and the glass surface. 

Guardian Glass has licensed its patented Lyto technology to Privacy Glass Solutions. The product is expected to be available from Privacy Glass Solutions by the end of 2024. Initially, the product will be available in one color combination, white/off white. Additional color combinations to follow after launch.

Bird-friendly channel glass

With the entire channel glass line now certified as Bird-Smart, Bendheim offers an alternative to traditional opaque building walls and flat architectural glass. Architects and designers can now choose from the various surface textures, hundreds of colors, thermal performance coatings, insulation inserts, and frame systems.

Piccolo channel glass’ fine, corduroy-like texture, for example, deters birds from flying into it by reducing reflection on the glass surface. Channel glass can be manufactured in lengths up to 23 feet tall and can be installed in openings spanning hundreds of feet without interruption.

In addition to creating bird-friendly glass textures, Bendheim and Lamberts are committed to sustainability. Bendheim’s Lamberts glass contains 40 to 50% recycled glass, of which 25 to 35% is post-consumer content. Bendheim channel glass has also received third-party prepared Environment Product Declaration (HPD) and Health Product Declaration (HPD).

Bendheim’s channel glass façade systems diffuse light and minimize glare while also offering thermal performance with a U-value range of 0.49 to 0.19. Channel glass adds elegance with glass-to-glass corners and serpentine curves, and just ¼ inch thick, lightweight and easy to install.
