Pilkington Profilit Translucent Linear Channel Glass System

Pilkington Profilit Translucent Linear Channel Glass System

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.

  • 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.
