Case Studies

The Pilkington Profilit™ channel glass wall system consists of 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. It can be used in interior or exterior applications, and installed vertically or horizontally.

“It lets in light, allows for privacy and is visually interesting day or night.”

-Jim Graham, principal, Graham Baba Architects

KEY FEATURES


  • Available in long channel lengths – up to 23 ft (7 m)
  • May be tempered or filmed to meet impact safety requirements
  • Allows passage of light while maintaining privacy
  • May be insulated with Lumira® aerogel for energy efficiency
  • Sound insulation (up to 42 db uninsulated, 44 db with Lumira aerogel insulation)
  • Can be utilized in curved walls
  • Installs vertically or horizontally
  • Aluminum perimeter frame provides additional structural strength
  • Interior applications may be installed into wood jambs or millwork instead of TGP’s aluminum framing
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Proven performance – used in Europe for more than 30 years
  • Most channels available with pinstripe wires
  • View perimeter framing system

Testing


Pilkington Profilit has been tested to meet the following standards: AAMA 501.4, AAMA 101, AAMA 1801-97, AAMA/NWWDA 101/1, S.297, ASTM F 588-97, NFRC 100-97, ANSI Z97.1-1984, CPSC 16CFR 1201, Category II (with safety film). All testing carried out by Architectural Testing Inc., York, PA. Formal test reports are available by contacting Technical Glass Products.

Insulation


For added energy efficiency, Pilkington Profilit can be filled with Lumira® aerogel, a new class of lightweight insulation material produced by Cabot Corporation which is ideally suited for daylighting design. Lumira aerogel promotes soft, even light dispersion, reduces unwanted noise and resists condensation. TGP is the exclusive supplier of Lumira aerogel for channel glass systems.
