Lumi Frit Surface 1
![Bendheim Fritted Products.](/ext/resources/Issues/2020/11-November/Bendheim-Fritted-Products.jpg)
Adding to its already robust line of specialty glass, Bendheim presents a new fritted product that appears brilliant white from the outside in daylight while still affording views for building occupants. Ultrawhite frit dots covering 50% of the low-iron glass make this possible. In the evening, the pattern’s opacity transforms the glass into a projectible exterior screen. Three dot diameters are available for the pattern.
