Bent Heat Treated Glass is a type of glass that has undergone a specific heat treatment process to enhance its strength and durability while being bent into a curved shape. This unique combination of heat treatment and bending provides a versatile and aesthetically pleasing material for various architectural and design applications.
FACADE / INTERIOR
Features:
Increased Strength: The heat treatment process increases the strength of the glass, making it more resistant to impact and thermal stress.
Curved Design: The glass is bent into smooth, curved shapes, offering a modern and elegant aesthetic.
Safety: When broken, bent heat treated glass shatters into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury.
Optical Clarity: Maintains high levels of transparency and clarity, ensuring an unobstructed view.

Core Benefits
Enhanced Strength and Durability:
Increased Toughness: Bent heat strengthened glass is significantly stronger than standard annealed glass, making it more resistant to mechanical stress and impact.
Thermal Resistance: It can withstand higher temperatures and sudden temperature changes without cracking or breaking, making it ideal for various environments.
Design Flexibility:
Curved Shapes: The bending process allows for the creation of smooth, curved glass shapes that can fit unique architectural designs and applications.
Customization: Available in various shapes, sizes, and thicknesses to meet specific design and structural requirements.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Modern and Elegant: The curved design and high optical clarity add a sleek and sophisticated touch to any building or interior space.
Transparency: Maintains high levels of transparency, allowing for unobstructed views and natural light to pass through.
Safety:
Improved Breakage Pattern: While not as safe as tempered glass, heat strengthened glass breaks into larger, less dangerous pieces compared to standard glass, reducing the risk of injury.
Compliance with Safety Standards: Meets various industry standards for safety and performance, making it suitable for structural and architectural applications.
Versatile Applications:
Exterior Facades: Ideal for building facades, curtain walls, and other exterior applications where strength and aesthetic appeal are important.
Interior Design: Used in partitions, railings, and decorative elements to create stylish and functional spaces.
Furniture: Commonly used in modern furniture designs, including tables, shelving, and more.
Longevity and Low Maintenance:
Durable Performance: Enhanced strength and resistance to wear and tear ensure a longer lifespan compared to standard glass.
Easy Maintenance: The smooth, glossy surface is easy to clean and maintain, retaining its appearance over time.
Energy Efficiency:
Thermal Insulation: Provides better thermal insulation compared to regular glass, contributing to energy savings and improved indoor comfort.
UV Protection: Some options offer UV protection, reducing the effects of harmful UV rays and protecting interior furnishings from sun damage.
Bent Heat Strengthened Glass combines strength, design flexibility, and aesthetic appeal, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of architectural and design applications.
