3.11.10 | Passaic, NJ | Bendheim Wall Systems, Inc. is introducing its new SF60S Single Glazed Store Front channel glass frame system. Engineered by Bendheim and tested by independent laboratories, this exterior single-glazed frame system meets strict U.S. building requirements for performance walls and screen walls in vertical or horizontal configurations. The system is designed for single-glazed walls with open or sealed joints and is fully tested for air and water infiltration, structural design load, and seismic displacement. Where thermal performance is not required, the SF60S with sealed joints acts as the building envelope for occupied areas. It can also be used as a rain screen with open or sealed joints and with or without a structural wall behind it.

This frame system carries the same design elements as Bendheim's double-glazed SF60 Store Front system, facilitating transitions from single- to double-glazed applications in the same plane without any change in frame appearance.

Bendheim Wall Systems has been designing proprietary frame systems since 2003. The SF60S Store Front system is the latest in the company's line of seven fully-developed frame systems, offering the right solution for each project. Bendheim Wall Systems is the provider of Lamberts channel glass, translucent, U-shaped glass used to create sweeping walls of glass without the need for intermediate framing members. Reaching heights of 23 feet, Lamberts channel glass is an ideal daylighting material and contains 60% recycled material including as much as 40% post-consumer recycled glass. Many award-winning projects feature striking Lamberts channel glass walls and elements; among them, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art by Steven Holl and The Santa Monica Civic Center Parking Structure by Moore Ruble Yudell. For more information on the company and its products, call 1-800-221-7379, or visit www.bendheimwall.com.
