Bent tempered glass

Building glass is mainly associated with flat surfaces of facades, partition walls and other interior design elements. However, it also has another aspect which makes it three-dimensional and that is bending.

Bent insulated units offered by PRESS GLASS are made in a process based on tempering. After reaching the glass temperature close to the softening point, the glass pane is curved to obtain the required shape and then quickly cooled down, i.e. tempered. The process of bending provides glass with a new functional and aesthetic quality.

Market offering

PRESS GLASS offers monolithic panes and insulated units for cylindrically bent glass panes. We have the capability to bend monolithic float glass, non-coated or low emissivity coatings as well as solar control coatings, tinted and laminated glass.

To make a product more attractive and to extend the range of its application, bent glass can be covered with screen print or digital print according to standard patterns or individual designs.

Glass bending direction:

 

LB - glass bending along a longer edge

CB - glass bending along a shorter edge

The range of offered bent tempered glass covers:

glass with drillings or cuttings
with edges that have been beveled, grinded or polished
glass in a shape of rectangles polygons or arcs
monolithic glass and double or triple insulated units

laminated glass

* coatings only on one side (concave)

Summary of advantages

it is a perfect decorative material
it gives an aesthetic impression

Owing to tempering, it gains all advantages of tempered glass:

it is more resistant to external loads
it is resistant to thermal shock
it reduces risk of getting hurt if the glass pane breaks
it is classified as safety glass
