A creative alternative for architects and designers, Bent Glass can be laminated, tempered or heat-strengthened glass that is bent, during the heat-treating process, to a specified radius to create unique profiles for installations in commercial and residential applications.

Application:

Handrails and Spiral Staircases Shower Enclosures Partitions and Elevator Enclosures
Commercial/Residential Windows Curtain Walls and Storefronts

Definitions:

Outside Arc Length - Girth measured on outside face of glass.
Inside Arc Length - Girth measured on inside face of glass.
Degree of Bend - Calculated angle of circumference.
Chord - Distance between opposite edges of bent glass.
Depth of Bend - Dimension from chord to surface of glass at highest point of bend.
Inside Radius - Dimension at which glass is bent along the concave surface.
Outside Radius - Dimension at which glass is bent along the convex surface.
Centerline Arc Length - Girth measured at the center of the glass.
Angle of Rise - Calculated measurement of the degree of slope.
Offset Dimension - Calculated dimension of the height of slope.
