Curved glass – Fluid design and customized technical solutions

Curved glass is the perfect choice for projects that aim to combine functionality with modern aesthetics. Transparent Design manufactures custom curved glass using state-of-the-art technologies, tailored to each client’s requirements—whether for commercial buildings, residential spaces, or spectacular interior designs.

Curved glass can be produced using several methods, but the method implemented by Transparent Design, using bending modules on tempering lines, is one of the most modern and efficient. It allows for uniform curves with precise radii, increased production speed and the combination with other processes (e.g. lamination after bending).

• Transparent Design have recently put into operation an automated bending module, which allows us to produce tempered curved glass with an arc size of up to 3000×3000 mm and a minimum bending radius of 1500 mm, depending on the glass thickness.
• Soon we will add two new automated bending modules to our existing furnaces, enabling curves with a minimum radius of 600 mm, depending on the glass thickness.
• We are in the process of commissioning a new line for tempering and bending glass sheets of up to 9000×3000 mm, both convex and concave. The minimum allowed radius for concave bending is 2500 mm (for 8–10 mm thick glass), and for convex bending 3500 mm (for 8–10 mm thick glass).

The glass bending process can be applied to a wide variety of glass types, depending on the project’s aesthetic, functional, and safety requirements: clear float or low-iron glass, low-E glass, body-tinted or acid-etched glass.
