"We were challenged to transform an ordinary 1980s building into something interesting. Längle glass fastening elements as the primary component provided the ideal solution. Our concept of cloaking the building with a decorative glass skin modernized and accentuated the existing structure – a perfect transformation. 3001 Orchard Parkway garnered well-deserved attention and admiration for its cost-effective implementation and easy installation: a ventilated facade like no other in the area – undoubtedly a major success. We plan to use the AL-Wall product again as soon as possible to transform other buildings in an innovative way."

"This was the first time we installed Längle glass fastening elements, and hopefully not the last. Everything went very smoothly and was well organized – a stress-free process, even though the building residents had to vacate the building during installation. The Bendheim team responded quickly, and it was a pleasure working with them. We are proud of the installation and the beautiful transformation."
– Christine Jacobs, Classic Glass, Inc., Glazier
