profilit center

The Pilkington Profilit glazing system consists of self-supporting glass channels with opaque glazing members that allow light but no view—a benefit Darnell appreciates. Fabricated in channels up to 22 feet long, the glass comes in different colors, textures, and degrees of translucency. The manufacturer says the system is also energy-efficient and conducive to curved-wall applications. It’s shown here on an El Dorado project.
