Annealed Bent / Hot Bent Curved Glass

Façades Atriums Interior Partitions Laminated Options Insulated Glass Units

Annealed bent glass — produced by heating float glass to its softening point and shaping it over precision molds — delivers smooth, continuous curves with minimal optical distortion. It is ideal for façades, atriums, and interior partitions. For added performance, it can be laminated or processed into insulated glass units, enhancing safety and energy efficiency.

Curved Tempered Glass

Balustrades Canopies Curtain Walls Impact Resistant International Safety Standards

When projects demand both curvature and strength, curved tempered glass is the solution. Heated and rapidly cooled while shaped, it achieves four to five times the strength of annealed glass. Resistant to impact and thermal stress, it meets international safety standards. Applications include balustrades, canopies, and curtain walls, where durability and design freedom are equally critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the difference between annealed bent glass and curved tempered glass?

Annealed bent glass is shaped at high temperatures and cooled slowly, making it easier to cut and process after bending. Curved tempered glass is rapidly cooled after shaping, which creates surface compression and makes it four to five times stronger than annealed glass. Tempered glass cannot be cut after processing, so all dimensions must be finalized before production.

Q Can annealed bent glass be laminated or made into insulated glass units?

Yes. Annealed bent glass is highly versatile and can be further processed into laminated glass by bonding layers with PVB or SGP interlayers, or incorporated into curved insulated glass units (IGUs). These options significantly improve safety, acoustic performance, and thermal insulation for façade and atrium applications.

Q What types of geometry are possible with 3D curved glass?

South Star's 3D curved glass technology goes well beyond standard cylindrical curves. It supports double curvatures, S-shaped profiles, compound bends, and fully freeform geometries. This allows architects to specify sculptural, non-repetitive glass shapes for landmark buildings such as stadiums, cultural centers, and high-end residential or commercial developments.

Q Does curved tempered glass comply with international safety standards?

Yes. Curved tempered glass manufactured by South Star Glass is produced in compliance with major international safety standards, including EN 12150, ASTM C1048, and AS/NZS 2208. Its high impact resistance and thermal stress tolerance make it a certified safety glazing material suitable for balustrades, canopies, and structural curtain wall systems.

Q What are the typical applications for curved glass in architecture?

Curved glass is widely used across a broad range of architectural applications including building façades, glass atriums, interior partition walls, curved balustrades, overhead canopies, curtain wall systems, museum and cultural center envelopes, luxury hotel lobbies, and stadium roofing. Both functional performance and aesthetic impact are key drivers for specification.

Q How does South Star Glass ensure optical quality in bent glass production?

South Star uses precision-engineered molds and carefully controlled heating and cooling cycles to minimize optical distortion during the bending process. Each panel undergoes strict quality inspection for surface clarity, curvature accuracy, and dimensional tolerance before delivery. Patented techniques and decades of manufacturing expertise ensure consistent optical quality across large-scale projects.
