Bent&tempered glass has the same physical and mechanical characteristics of horizontal tempered glass. After heating, the softened glass pane is bent between computer controlled bending jaws in order to form the desired radius followed by sudden cooling by compressed air.
Processes such as cutting, edge processing and drilling cannot be performed on bent&tempered glasses. Only sand blasting for decorative purposses is allowed. Bent glass is used on facades, balustrades, glass doors, furtniture glass, automative glass, etc.

Camglass Turkish Curved Bent Glass Manufacturer in Turkey
Curved glass, also called bent glass, is produced as tempered and non-tempered (mold camber) camber.
The tempered curved glass bending process is heated heavily until it reaches the melting point of flat glass, the glass starts to melt into a concave or convex mold with gravity, and after it melts the shape of the mold, it is slowly cooled and the bending process is completed.
The cooling process takes a long time, such as four to five hours. The reason for this is to reduce the internal stresses that will occur inside the glass and to prevent cracking and breakage. Considering the technical features of the glass, many designs are made with the bending process, it is possible to produce forms that may seem impossible.
There is an external intervention in the processes deemed necessary in the production of tempered curved glass.
The tempered dome glass bending process involves heating it to 600 degrees Celsius. The high temperature is enough to bring the glass to a state where you can bend it.
