The difference between hot curved glass and curved steel glass

Hot-bent glass is the glass through pretreatment processing (cut to the required size) and then heated to the softening temperature, and then bent and formed by its own weight or external force and cooled naturally to make the required arc glass.

Bent tempered glass or bent heat reinforced glass is made by rapid air cooling by special equipment after the glass is bent and formed.

The processing specifications of hot bent glass are: processing thickness: 3.4mm-19mm, maximum size: 3000mmx6000mm.

The processing specifications of bent tempered glass are: processing thickness: 5mm-19mm, maximum size: 2400mmx4200mm.

Scope of application in the construction industry: all kinds of curved shaped glass, including glass curtain walls, partitions, ceilings.

Product shape diversity: hot bent glass products have a variety of styles; The bent steel glass has a single style, which is only suitable for arc bending with a radius of more than 1500mm.

Safety performance of the product: hot bent glass is unsafe glass; Curved steel glass belongs to safety glass.

Appearance quality: smooth surface of hot bent glass, no light distortion; Curved steel glass has wind spots and fragmentation phenomenon.

Product reprocessing: hot bent glass products can be further cut, hole opening and other processing; Curved steel glass has no secondary processing capacity.

Features of bent glass:

The first property of bent glass is aesthetics. It breaks through the single shape of ordinary flat glass, the style is unique and beautiful, the lines are softer and smoother, so it is more flexible in application, hot bent glass is often used in aquariums, counters, curtain walls, turnstiles, etc. Increase beauty and quality through unique shapes. Of course, in order to meet the special requirements of customers for home decoration design, hot bending glass is also commonly used in walls, ceilings, doors and windows, etc. Due to the soft lines of curved glass, it often creates a more natural and harmonious home environment.

The second feature of hot bent glass should be said to be its specificity, that is, according to different shape needs, it can be tailored to customers into a variety of irregular bending surfaces, and even can be produced into hollow or laminated and other composite hot bending glass products. Because of this feature, hot-bent glass is exceptionally popular in the architectural and civil markets. Building hot bending glass is mainly used for building interior and exterior decoration, lighting roof, sightseeing elevator, arched corridor, etc.
