A custom-engineered channel glass system by Bendheim creates the parking façade of the high-profile Frost Tower in San Antonio, Texas, by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. The system accommodates the substantial floor movement caused by the hourly changes to the loading of the decks, as vehicles enter and exit the 1,000-space parking structure.
The project includes approximately 28,000 square feet of Bendheim’s single-glazed Lamberts® channel glass, captured at the top and bottom in the company’s customized SF60S frame system. It also includes a special faux frame for the large non-glazed openings, creating a visual continuation to the channel glass frame.
