Building glass is mainly associated with flat surfaces of facades, partition walls and other interior design elements. However, it also has another aspect which makes it three-dimensional owing to bending.
Bent glass units offered by PRESS GLASS are made in a process based on tempering. After reaching the glass temperature close to the softening point, the glass pane is curved to obtain the required shape and then quickly cooled down, i.e. tempered. The process of bending provides glass with a new functional and aesthetic quality.
Market offer
PRESS GLASS offers single glazed units and glazed units, cylindrically bent glass panes based on monolithic float glass, non-coated or with thermal insulating and solar control coatings, tinted or laminated glass.
To make a product more attractive and to extend the range of its application, bent glass can be covered with screen print or digital print according to standard patterns or individual designs.

Summary of advantages
Owing to tempering, it gains all advantages of toughened glass:
Application
Bent toughened glass is always produced upon an individual order, which is verified for technical production capacity.
Bent glass offered by PRESS GLASS can be used:
in different building structures:
in interior design:
We constantly modify our manufacturing processes and change habits to limit the negative effect on the environment.
In order to facilitate the changes, we have adopted ISO 14001, the worldwide management system for environmental protection.
