Product Description

🌟 Product Description

Product Definition: Hot bent glass is a curved glass that is heated to a bending softening state by high-quality flat glass, formed in the mold, and then annealed.

🎨

Aesthetics

There is no connection in the middle, beautiful lines, giving architecture and furniture a unique sense of art and modern atmosphere.

📐

Specificity

Various irregular curved surfaces can be made according to demand. Composite products such as hollow and sandwich can also be produced.

🛡️

Safety

Increased strength to withstand impact force. Small fragments after crushing with vertical sections and fewer sharp corners reduce injury risk.

📑 Product Classification

Single Bend

Relatively easy hot bending, though curve edges are usually 150mm from straight edges. Requires local heating in specialized furnaces for precise mold fitting.

Bending

Common in aquariums and counters. Challenges include bending straight edges and avoiding mold marks at corners. Requires high-level operation and accurate molds.

Composite Bend

Includes spherical glass, turning arch corridors, and glass wash basins. Requires very high technical skills, accurate molds, and professional hot bending furnaces.

🏗️ Product Use

🏙️

Architectural Field

Interior and exterior decoration, lighting roofs, sightseeing elevators, arched corridors, and enhancing architectural artistic sense.

🏠

Civil Field

Glass furniture, aquariums, wash basins, counters, and various home decorations for beauty and practicality.

⚙️ Production Technology

Ingredients: Suitable raw materials (silica sand, sodium carbonate, limestone) are selected based on design.

Melting: Raw materials are melted to a softening state at high temperatures in glass melting kilns.

Molding: Liquid glass is extruded or stretched into desired shapes through molds with controlled temperature and pressure.

Annealing: Processed in an annealing furnace to create a compact internal structure, improving strength and stability.

Surface Treatment: Grinding and polishing are applied as needed to improve the final appearance quality.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is hot bent glass?

Hot bent glass is created by heating flat glass until it softens, shaping it in a specific mold, and then annealing it to ensure durability and a curved aesthetic.

Is hot bent glass safe for furniture?

Yes, the production process increases its strength. If broken, it shatters into smaller fragments with fewer sharp corners compared to regular glass, reducing the risk of injury.

Can you create custom irregular shapes?

Absolutely. We can produce various irregular curved surfaces, including composite bends like spherical glass or custom wash basins, depending on the mold and technology used.

What are the primary applications of this glass?

It is widely used in both the architectural field (elevators, arched corridors) and the civil field (furniture, aquariums, and counters).

How is the quality of the curved surface ensured?

Quality is maintained through precise mold design, controlled melting temperatures, and a careful annealing process that stabilizes the internal structure of the glass.

What is the difference between single and composite bends?

Single bends involve a simple curve along one axis, while composite bends include complex shapes like spheres or multi-angled turns which require specialized furnaces and high technical expertise.
