Westcrowns Inc. of Ocean Isle, N.C., has announced that it has provided Pilkington's Profilit channel glass system for more than 150 installations in the United States.

Profilit is a structural glass system that creates light transmitting walls. It incorporates an engineered perimeter frame, combined with various widths and sizes of U-shaped glass channels.

Typical U-channel glass is 10.3 inches wide with 2.5-inch returns. The channels are interlocked to form double-glazed units. The complete glazing assembly comes in an aluminum perimeter frame, so no intermediate aluminum-framing members are necessary to provide structural integrity.

Profilit can be tempered in the United States in accordance with ANSI standards.
