curved glass Curved glass panels are one of the prestige & bespoke products supplied
by Specialist Glass Products, Curved glass is available in Annealed,
Laminated & Toughened and any combination of these can be sealed into
double glazed units.

The use of curved glass for both traditional and contemporary applications
is becoming more widespread.

Toughened Bends
Toughened or tempered curved glass is produced by applying heat, when the glass is
up to temperature it is then curved to the required radii and then cooled rapidly. This
introduces stress into the glass which strengthens it.

If toughened glass is subjected to impact or thermal stress it breaks into small blunt
fragments which reduces the possibility of injury.

Annealed Bends
Annealed glass is curved also using heat however this is applied whilst the glass is in or
over a mould, the glass is heated which allows it to take the shape of the mould, Float,
Patterned, K glass, wired and tinted can all be curved using this method.

Annealed bends can be using in Single or double glazed applications where safety is not
an issue. They can also be laminated in pairs to create a laminated safety glass.

Laminate Bends
Curved Laminate bends can be used for shopfronts, sneeze screens, revolving doors
& furniture and also as components in double glazed units. Coloured, patterned & K
glasses can be curved.

The application of an interlayer between two annealed bends creates a safety glass
where if broken the glass will hold and any shards will remain bonded to the interlayer.

Depending on the arrangement, number and thickness of glass sheets and interlayers in
the construction of the laminated glass, different levels of protection are possible.

Specialist Glass can offer a range of laminates including Cast in place, PVB, SGP, EVA &
Vanceva each one offering different properties in different applications.
