A custom-engineered channel glass system by Bendheim creates the parking facade of the high-profile Frost Tower in San Antonio, Texas. The project includes approximately 28,000 square feet of our single-glazed Lamberts® channel glass, with alternating glazed and open sections that become a design element and provide natural ventilation. The translucent glass channels admit over 70 percent of daylight into the parking structure, while their privacy-friendly texture obscures views of the parked cars from outside.

The glass is captured at the top and bottom in our customized SF60S frame system, which accommodates the substantial floor movement caused by the variable loading of the decks, as vehicles enter and exit the 1,000-space parking structure. The system includes a special faux frame for the large non-glazed openings, creating a visual continuation to the channel glass frame.
