BENDING GLASS

Customized Hot Bent Glass for Special Shapes & Architectural Design

Bending Glass — often called Hot Bending Glass — is a form-shaped glass product created by heating flat glass to a pliable temperature and molding it into custom curves and shapes. This advanced thermal forming technology enables the creation of elegant, seamless glass panels that enhance both function and aesthetics for architectural, interior, furniture and display applications.

With performance-driven precision and fully tailor-made shapes, bending glass brings visual fluidity and design versatility to spaces such as façades, railings, partitions, staircases, skylights and artistic installations.

Product Introduction

Hot Bending Glass is manufactured by carefully heating high-quality float or safety glass to approximately 580–600 °C until softened, then shaping it over molds or bending forms. Once formed, the glass is gradually cooled to lock in its curved geometry while maintaining structural integrity and optical clarity.

Unlike standard flat glass, bending glass allows architects and designers to realize three-dimensional glass shapes that enhance light diffusion, create visual flow, and support unique architectural concepts.

Key Features

Customized Shapes & Design Freedom — Glass panels can be bent into almost any form or curve to match design requirements. Smooth, Continuous Curves — The hot bending process achieves sleek and seamless lines for modern design aesthetics. Optical Clarity & Strength — Heat-formed glass retains superior transparency and structural performance. Multiple Glass Options — Compatible with clear, ultra clear and tinted glass types. Deep Fabrication Capabilities — Supports hole drilling, CNC cutting, safety corners, edge polishing and other custom processing. Integration With Composite Systems — Bending glass can be transformed into laminated, insulated or other hybrid glass formats for enhanced performance.

Applications

Hot bending glass is ideal for a wide range of design and architectural uses, including but not limited to:

Interior railings and staircases

Facade and curtain wall feature panels

Balustrade and partition walls

Skylights and atrium structures

Special furniture such as tables and display counters

Aquarium and curved showcase walls

Window and door design with seamless curvature

This flexibility makes bending glass a standout choice for projects seeking three-dimensional form, natural light integration and design distinction.
