A
creative alternative for architects and designers, Bent tempered is tempered
or heat-strengthened glass that is bent, during the heat-treating process,
to a specified radius to create unique profiles for installations in
commercial and residential applications.
Bend tempered glass is custom-tempered by heat treating glass through a
horizontal tempering furnace. Although Bend tempered glass is usually
specified as fully tempered, Bend tempered glass can be heat-strengthened
for applications where fully tempered glass is not required.
Heat-strengthened and tempered Bentemp® glass is available for
insulating glass (IG) units using clear, tinted, reflective, Low-E glass
(including the new generation of post-temper able Low-E coatings) or
spandrel.
Applications
Typical applications include glass handrails, spiral staircases, custom
shower enclosures, curved ceramic frit spandrel glass, revolving doors,
partitions and insulating glass units. Depending on the application design,
there is specific information that will be required to ensure accuracy.
