We are eager to share our knowledge and experience with architects and designers.”
Bendheim Wall Systems’ Lamberts channel glass is translucent, U-shaped glass used to create sweeping walls of glass without the need for intermediate framing members. Reaching heights up to 23 feet, it is an ideal daylighting material and contains as much as 40 percent post-consumer recycled glass. Many award-winning projects feature striking Lamberts channel glass walls and elements; among them, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art by Steven Holl and The Santa Monica Civic Center Parking Structure by Moore Ruble Yudell.
