Channel glass is a translucent, U-shaped, cast glass wall system that is self-supporting.  Why is it different than a traditional storefront or glazed wall?  Because of its U-shape, which can create a depth between 8”-20” in the glass wall, channel glass can provide great thermal performance, privacy and a self-supporting wall system. It also creates a beautiful translucency of light while also providing complete privacy and a very modern profile. It can be used in interior or exterior applications, and installed vertically or horizontally.
