Since ancient times, man has been fascinated by the beauty and symmetry of curved glass. From delicate wine glasses to massive stained-glass windows, curved glass is an integral part of our lives. But what is it that makes curved so special? By heating the glass and then quickly cooling it, bent glass manufacturers are able to shape it into gentle curves or more dramatic swooping forms.
What is curved glass？
Curved glass is a type of curved sheet glass that has been curved by different methods including heating and rolling. It can be used for a variety of purposes such as curved windows, curved doors, curved shelves, and curved desktops. This type of glass has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to create aesthetically pleasing curved surfaces for both indoor and outdoor applications. Also, it offers significant advantages in terms of both strength and price, making it an attractive option for a variety of industries.
Can curved glass be tempered？
Of course！
The tempered curved glass is an interesting prospect, as it offers advantages such as increased mechanical strength, resistance to thermal shock, and improved safety. It also requires a particularly sophisticated process to manipulate the glass, enabling manufacturers to produce its tempered curved shape without compromising on the qualities tempered glass offers. This curved tempered glass has become the new standard for many modern architectural purposes.
