US Glass Magazine Article Features Sentech’s Dave Dunham

Have you ever wondered what goes into designing glass walkways that are both breathtaking and structurally sound? In the May 2026 issue of USGlass Magazine, the fascinating article “The Psychology of Glass Walkways” explores the intersection of structural engineering, design, and human perception.

This fascinating intersection of human biology, psychology, and structural engineering is the focus of the cover feature in the May 2026 issue of USGlass Magazine, titled “The Psychology of Glass Walkways” (Page 38). Sentech Architectural Systems and our engineering experts are featured in the article, sharing our insights into how we design transparent structures that inspire awe while ensuring absolute peace of mind.

In the magazine Joshua Huff writes: “David Dunham, P.E., chief sales officer at Texas-based Sentech Architectural Systems, explains that most step-on glazing is designed with triple laminated glass with an added “sacrificial layer.” Though this layer of glass might crack, its failure does not compromise the structural integrity of the entire system, as noted by several high-profile glass breakage incidents at the Sapa Glass Bridge in Vietnam and China’s Yuntaishan Mountain glass walkway. Those incidents highlight the necessity of redundancies to save lives.”

Not all step-on glazing systems are created equal! At the heart of Sentech’s two decades of success is a core philosophy driven by innovation and transparency. To learn more about Sentech’s step-on glazing systems and high-performance façade solutions visit sentechas.com.
