Bendheim 504 Rough Cast™ Channel Glass
504 ROUGH CAST™ CHANNEL GLASS
504 ROUGH CAST™ CHANNEL GLASS
Our most popular light-diffusing, privacy channel glass texture. U-shape (channel shape) enhances the structural properties of the glass, allowing it to achieve far greater spans than regular flat glass
Up to 23’ tall, hundreds of feet wide Sustainably produced in an oxygen-assisted furnace, low carbon footprint. Bird-friendly tested, ABC threat factor 25 anterim metal supports required. Lightweight
Ideal for daylighting applications. Available in superior, ultra-low-iron glass, which is near-colorless and brilliant. Available in regular-iron glass, which has the characteristic greenish-blue tint visible through the edges of the glass; contains 30% – 40% post-consumer recycled content
Available with Low-E and Azur™ thermal performance coatings (regular, non-low-iron channel glass).Fully tempered (safety) and heat soak tested for exterior applications, offering improved resistance to high wind loads and temperature fluctuations

TESTING
Bendheim tempered safety channel glass is 100% heat soak tested (test is recommended for all exterior tempered glass applications), and Safety Glazing Council certified. It meets the requirements for ANSI Z97.1 & the Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC 16FR, Part 1201 – Safety Standard for Architectural Glazing Materials. Heat soak testing minimizes the risk of spontaneous tempered glass breakage as a result of nickel sulfide inclusions.
APPROX DIMENSIONS
- Length = up to 23 ft. (7 m); glass is fabricated to specified length
- Width = 9" (230 mm), 10.3" (260 mm), 13" (330 mm), or 19.5" (480
mm)
- Flange depth = 1.6" (41 mm) for interior use, 2.4" (60 mm) for exterior use.
- Thickness = 0.24" (6 mm) for interior use, 0.28" (7
mm) for exterior us
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
- Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) = 77% for double-glazed, uncoated, ultra-clear (low-iron) channel glass / 72% for doubleglazed, uncoated, clear (regular) channel glass.
- STC Rating = STC 34 to STC 38 | Note: STC 34 is based on test of Bendheim I-41 conventional interlocking double-glazed channel glass wall system with push-in gaskets. Wet-sealed I-60 channel glass system is projected to reach STC 38. Compare to STC 33 for a typical interior wall (1/2" drywall on each side, wood studs, no insulation) and STC 39 for a typical insulated interior wall (1/2" drywall on each side, wood studs + fiberglass insulation)
OPTIONS & CUSTOMIZATIONS
- Available in ultra-low-iron glass, featuring superior clarity & brilliance, or glass with high recycled content (approx. 40% postconsumer + over 20% pre-consumer)
- Sand-Blast & DuraEtch® Options: sand-blasted 2nd surface and durable, fritted Dura-Etch® (simulated acid etch) obscure views, diffuse light, and protects against glare
- Fritted Colors : a rich palette of hundreds of colorfast, scratch resistant, translucent & opaque colors
- Thermal Performance Coatings : Low-E & Azur
- Thermal Insulation Interlayers : Okapane (acrylic tubes) & Wacotech TIMax (fiberglass)
INSTALLATION
Approx. ¼”-thick lightweight glass in channel form is relatively easy to install, especially with the smart design of Bendheim’s channel glass wall systems. No specialized training is required. Any competent commercial glazier with curtainwall or storefront installation experience can handle the channel glass installation. Cranes are not required, as individual glass channels are lightweight. The channels can be glazed on site or pre-assembled at the glazier’s shop using Bendheim’s unique unitized channel glass systems.
