BENT GLASS is a heat-treated (fully-toughened or heat-strengthened) glass that is bent to a single-radius profile through an advanced cylindrical bending system controlled though millimeter-precise integrated gear system. This ensures absolutely even curvature throughout the width of the glass. The heating is controlled through a high-powered top-and-bottom convection heating system that enables heat-treatment of the most advanced coatings available in the market. Along with this the machine is equipped with an advanced and precise cooling (or quenching) system to ensure minimum levels of iridescence. It is an extremely bespoke product in the architectural space, and can be used to create aesthetically stunning facades, interior partitions, frameless glazing, shower cubicles and furniture.
