Turnkey Glass Cladding System

TurnKey is a patented, petite clip system that does not require the use of adhesives or expensive glass drilling. The system played an important role in the transformative renovation of the elevator lobby at 200 Varick Street, a prominent Art Deco building in Manhattan’s Hudson Square. The redesign, overseen by BR Design Associates, celebrates the building’s rich history and modern updates while showcasing Bendheim’s innovative glass solutions.

The renovation incorporates Bendheim’s cutting-edge TurnKey glass cladding system to enhance the space. The lobby now includes a dramatic backlit portal and translucent walls that contribute to the elegant, timeless atmosphere. The easily installed TurnKey system spans nearly 1,000 square feet and seamlessly transitions from the walls to the ceiling. The stairs and walkway are clad with glass and LED backlit panels. The translucent white glass evenly distributes light without a trace of shadow lines. GFC Ornamental Glass installed the Bendheim system.

 “We tried to create that modernism, but it’s still a design that isn’t going to age,” said Michael Rait, Founder and Principal at BR Design. “We feel like we introduced a lot of elements there, like the illuminated brick, and then that illuminated portal is using light to create a dramatic design.”
