The design Architect found a Bendheim system, but is looking for other manufacturers, preferably in the US. - ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 1566 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2023 - 09:49 am:    Hi Lisa Are you talking about this type of system? https://bendheim.com/system/ventilated-glass-facade-systems/ I would love to get a chance to specify a system like that. I don't know another off the top of my head but I wonder if companies like Sentech or McGrory could offer something similar.

But more of a shingled type assembly. Like the small glass boat storage shed here: https://www.aw-arch.com/community-rowing-boathouse Ironically, I wrote the spec for that too, but had no idea about the shingle system until I saw the completed building. Plan to get a better handle on this one. - Loretta Sheridan Senior Member Username: leshrdn Post Number: 91 Registered: 11-2021 Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2023 - 11:43 am:    I looked up that Community Rowing boathouse and Architectural Record lists suppliers. Maybe try contacting the reps listed there? https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/12128-community-rowing-boathouse-by-anmahian-winton-architects Lisa Goodwin Robbins, RA, CCS, LEED ap Senior Member Username: lgoodrob Post Number: 421 Registered: 08-2004 Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2023 - 12:15 pm:    Loretta, Good idea, but the clip system isn't listed there. Now I'm thinking the project is too old for anyone to remember. - ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 1567 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2023 - 12:29 pm:    Based on Loretta's linked article my guess is that the system may have been by Schuco, who is apparently still around and located in CT. Might be worth a phone call. If they did it, I'll bet they'd remember it.
