Bent / Curved Tempered Glass

Bent glass transforms rigid panes into fluid curves, enabling the iconic, organic forms of contemporary architecture. It is produced through two primary methods:

Core Technology

• Heat-Bent Glass: Glass is heated until pliable and formed over a mold, then annealed. Used for decorative applications.

• Curved Tempered Glass: After heat-bending, the glass is rapidly cooled (tempered). This combines the curved shape with the safety and strength of tempered glass, making it suitable for structural facades.
  

Key Advantages

• Design Freedom: Enables seamless, flowing architectural forms.

• Structural Safety: Curved tempered glass offers high strength and safety upon breakage.

• Aesthetic Impact: Creates dynamic visual effects and sleek, modern lines.

Primary Applications

• Iconic building facades, skylights, and curved canopies.

• High-end interior elements like curved balustrades and partitions.

• Transportation design (e.g., high-speed train windshields).

• Advanced display cases and luxury product design.

In short, bent glass is the key material for turning visionary, fluid architectural designs into reality.
