Thermally Broken Perimeter Channel (U-Channel) – PC3710 (25.5 to 37.5mm glass thickness)

You may say "u-channel" or "u channel", we say "perimeter channel" - a very versatile glass framing product. Beginning as a companion part to Stella’s structural glass walls, the labour-saving details of our perimeter channels have led to their popularity as a stand-alone glazing solution with options available for a variety of glass thicknesses.

PC3710 Thermally-Broken Perimeter Channel

Our PC3710 Perimeter Channel is thermally broken.
It accommodates glass thicknesses from 25.5 to 37.5mm [1″ to 1  1/2″].

While there’s nothing “standard” about it – it’s an established product for us – meaning we keep it in stock for shorter lead times.

Don’t see a channel to fit your exact glass thickness? Talk to us and we’ll create a solution for your project.

This product is typically chosen for exterior structural glass walls.

It can be used on point-supported glass walls but does not need to be – it’s a popular stand-alone product for non point-supported glass walls too.

Looking for a huge non-operable window wall for your custom home? This product can be used here too!

 

How Stella Perimeter Channels Reduce On-Site Labour Hours

• Glazing clips – glass is positioned first, then clipped in place

• DIY or fully-fabricated package – Can be supplied in 12ft lengths to cut on-site or we can take care of all the details – cut to length and pre-drilled with drainage and fixing holes, complete with all the connection hardware included
• Ledge brackets – Optional inserted shelf brackets eliminate the need for spider fittings at wall edges and allow the glass to be stacked without transferring loads to the panel below
