Translucent Linear Channel Glass System
The Pilkington Profilit™ translucent linear channel glass system consists of unique, self-supporting cast glass channels and an extruded metal perimeter frame. The end result is a wall that obscures vision but allows light to pass through. Pilkington Profilit can be used in interior or exterior applications. The "U-shaped" channels can be installed either vertically or horizontally.
The glass is available in a variety of colors and textures with varying translucency, allowing for the passage of natural light without the loss of privacy. Pilkington Profilit is energy efficient, provides excellent sound reduction, and it's one of the most cost-efficient glass wall systems available. It can be single glazed for interior use or dual glazed for exterior applications. Technical Glass Products is the exclusive supplier of Lumira™ aerogel insulation panels, which can be provided for greater energy efficiency.
