The Bloch Building is easily the biggest channel glass project in North America. LINIT is the channel glass featured in two other Steven Holl projects: the new Swiss Embassy residence designed with Justin Rüssli, and the Central Section of Higgins Hall at Pratt Institute, in collaboration with Rogers Marvel Architects. Both projects won 2007 AIA NY Chapter Architecture Honor Awards, as did Diller Scofidio + Renfro's Boston ICA, also using LINIT. The Solar channel glass installed on the Bloch Building (and the Swiss Embassy residence) is a proprietary fine-mesh texture only from Lamberts. The glass appears white because the low iron content removes the pale green cast typical to thick glass, and the planks are sandblasted and insulated with an acrylic interlayer called Okapane (also used at Higgins Hall). The SGCC-certified and 100% heat soak tested planks – testing unique to the LINIT brand of channel glass - are made to a custom width broader than a standard channel glass profile. Why is LINIT channel glass installed on all these stellar projects? No other channel glass provider gives as much critical support to the architect and valuable assistance to the glazier as Bendheim Wall Systems does. To use LINIT channel glass to enhance your distinctive designs, call me at 800-221-7379 X 223 or email me at mfink@bendheimwall.com. ENJOY YOUR VISIT!
