U glass can be used in straight and curved applications and the channels can be fixed horizontally or vertically. It can be used internally and externally and is a very popular glazing solution selected by architects because of its unique, aesthetic characteristics. It is commonly referred to as ‘channel glass’ and each individual length ‘a blade’. Cast in sheet form whilst still molten, it is rolled and the side wings are formed to create a U shaped profile. It can be constructed similarly to masonry block-work walls or can be fitted like wall cladding. Translucent concrete can be used internally & externally.
