About the video
It’s a 10-minute short course which describes:
cost, uses, physical and thermal properties, finish, color and attachment options, and special design considerations, benefits and liabilities; everything you need to begin specifying the material for your residential or commercial project.
Unlike other glass, channel glass has a high recycled content and the opportunity for improved thermal performance over standard insulated glass units.
Meet the instructors
Eric Reinholdt is a founder of Thirty by Forty Design Workshop which was established in June 2013 in a home he designed overlooking Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. In 2016, he designed and constructed the Long Studio to complement the Longhouse and serve as a full-scale model of his design principles and the latest in building science; this is the home for 30X40.
“My work celebrates humble materials, subtle contrasts and finely-crafted details. I have a strong interest in modern regionalist design, local materials and familiar building forms juxtaposed against modern, open floor plans. I employ a minimalist, Shaker-like palette of details inspired by the site and natural surroundings.”
