I'm looking for a glazing source or photos for thick (cast?) glass that, in plan, is "zig zag" on one side and flat on the other. The glass is maybe 2.5" thick and will be used in an exterior application. I've found fluted or channeled options, but the system I'm looking for is distinctly "zig zag" in form. Please see crude plan sketch below.
Any help for a source (or photos) would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

i believe what you are looking for is prismatic glass
the internet suggests it is hard to find

for more information, it looks like they wanted to use it on the new world trade center, but didn't have much luck
