Well formed curved glass as a material brings with it several key benefits which will enrich any building design.Ĭurved glass is an aesthetic winner. What are the key benefits of using curved glass? The design opportunities are limited only by your imagination. There are endless opportunities to use curved glass in architectural building designs, be it in a façade, balustrade, spiral staircase, lift shaft, revolving door or overhead skylight. The 3D method of bending glass is therefore a lot more labour intensive and time consuming to manufacture. This requires an individually specialised steel tool to define the desired finished shape of the glass piece. The one directional curve can be formed from a flat glass pane using CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) manufacturing equipment.īy contrast, 3D bending requires the original flat piece of glass to either stretch in different directions, compress into itself or a combination of both. The 2D method is by far the most common, easiest and cost-effective way of producing curved glass. Three dimensionally (3D): where a multi-directional bend is created, resulting in a complex curvature, for example a dome. ![]()
