Curved

Glass bending is the process of giving glass panels permanently curved forms using controlled heating methods. This process is critical for realizing the dynamic and organic lines of architectural projects. At Akcam facilities, glass is heated in our glass bending furnaces to its softening point and spread onto special molds to achieve the desired curved shape. After the bending process, it is possible to subject the glass to a tempering process to increase its strength (Curved Tempered Glass). In this way, curved glass meets both aesthetic and safety standards.

Controlled Heating, Perfect Curve

Our domed furnaces apply precise heating profiles, taking into account the surface tension and thickness of the glass. The special molds used are designed to minimize optical distortion of the glass during bending. This level of control guarantees high visual quality and precise form consistency in the finished product.

Dynamic Architectural Solutions

Curved glass is used in areas such as revolving doors, cylindrical facades, elevators, shop windows, and spiral staircase railings. The curved forms add fluidity and movement to the interior and exterior design of a building while maintaining structural integrity and offering a solution in areas where standard flat glass is not feasible.

Preventing Visual Distortion

The heating and cooling rates at the bending point of the glass are precisely controlled. This prevents the formation of ripples or optical aberrations on the glass surface, thus preserving transparency.

Maximum Security

Curved tempered glass is produced by tempering the glass after the bending process. When broken, this product shatters into small, harmless pieces, ensuring that curved glass also meets high safety standards.

Project Diversity

We have the capability to bend a wide range of glass thicknesses, from thin decorative glass to thick structural glass, to meet diverse architectural load and aesthetic requirements.
