Recently expanding it palette with three new hues to include Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn, Bendheim’s Optichroic dichroic architectural glass offers a broader, space-inspired aesthetic. Architects can choose from a wide range of finishes, textures and light-diffusing interlayers to create different effects. Originally developed in the late 1950s by NASA to protect against the potentially harmful effects of direct sunlight and cosmic radiation, the light reflects off the glass and changes in color as the occupant’s angle of vision changes. Pictured here at the Rapt Studio-designed Pluralsight technology education company in Draper, Utah, the dichroic glass was specified for the elevator lobbies throughout the building.
