Translucent Linear Low-Iron Channel Glass System
Pilkington Profilit™ OW (Low-Iron) allows the passage of light in interior or exterior applications. It consists of an extruded perimeter frame and self-supporting low-iron oxide cast glass channels. The lower iron content allows for greater light and solar transmission and a less green appearance than is typical of standard glass.
