Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

For Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Lamberts LINIT™ channel glass supplied by KAPHS forms an innovative, energy-efficient façade across the entire podium. The external glass — LINIT®EcoGlass P26/60/7 504 with a translucent L1 coating — offers excellent transparency while softly diffusing daylight for a sleek, contemporary exterior.

Internally, the glass carries a Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coating to reduce heat transfer and improve thermal performance, while aerogel introduced within the air cavity significantly boosts insulation — minimising heat loss and maximising energy savings for the healthcare environment.

Channel glass at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

Available in low-iron and textured finishes with optional solar-control and Low-E coatings, the glass can be installed in single or double-glazed configurations and backlit for a dramatic night-time effect.

As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the Lamberts LINIT™ system — channel glass that enables expansive, self-supporting translucent walls with diffused daylight and minimal framing. Sourced through Lamberts, the glass at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi was engineered to perform in the region’s demanding climate while elevating the building’s identity.

For architects, developers and contractors across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, this project shows how channel glass can transform a landmark scheme — balancing aesthetics, daylight, privacy and durability in equal measure. Every panel was selected, engineered and delivered to exacting tolerances, and backed by KAPHS’s regional expertise the result is a surface that looks exceptional on day one and keeps performing for decades in the Middle East climate. As one of the region’s most recognisable installations of its kind, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.
