Textured glass

Bendheim, Passaic, N.J., introduced EcoGlass, a new line of textured architectural glass containing 60 percent recycled material that is produced in a highly enviro-sensitive factory. The glass is well-suited for a range of commercial and residential applications, including curtain walls, partitions, sliding doors, shower enclosures and lighting.

Manufactured by Glasfabrik Lamberts in Europe’s only clean-burning oxygen/fuel-fired cast glass furnace, EcoGlasses contain a minimum 20 percent pre-consumer and up to 40 percent post-consumer recycled glass. For safety and security applications, Bendheim tempers EcoGlass in a highly energy-efficient oven and laminates utilizing environmentally-sensitive processes and materials.

The glass is available in 10 textures, offering varying degrees of privacy. It can be supplied in combination with custom color interlayers or color coatings for decorative feature walls and backsplashes. The glass comes in 5/32 inch (4 millimeters), ¼ inch (6 mm) and 3/8 inch (10 mm) thicknesses and is available in sheet sizes up to 70 inches by 126 inches.
