Bendheim's innovative channel glass rainscreen creates a highly recognizable facade, while protecting the building and the works of art it houses from the elements. Photo by Timothy Hursley.
The facade features approximately 40,000 sq. ft. of our channel glass, installed in a unique configuration designed and engineered by Bendheim, in collaboration with the architects. Photo by Timothy Hursley.
The channel glass rainscreen sits approximately 6 inches off a layer of waterproof aluminum, and features 2-inch gaps between the channels. Photo by Timothy Hursley.
Located a block from the Mississippi River, Shaw Center serves as a dramatic addition to the revitalization of downtown Baton Rouge. Photo by Timothy Hursley.
The unique flange-outward facade design adds visual complexity, while creating a vortex that prevents wind and rain from accessing the metal panels behind the channel glass. Photo by Timothy Hursley.
