What is hot bent glass
source：www.hlwan.cn | Release time：2025-05-07
Hot bent glass is a type of glass product that softens flat glass by heating and then bends it into shape in a mold. Here is a detailed introduction:
1. Production process
Heating: Place the flat glass in a hot bending furnace and evenly heat it to the softening point temperature, usually around 600-700 degrees Celsius, using heating elements.
Bending molding: When the glass reaches a softened state, external force is applied to the glass using a mold to bend it into shape according to the mold. The shape and size of the mold are designed according to the specific shape and specifications of the required hot bent glass.
Cooling and shaping: After bending and shaping, glass is rapidly cooled and shaped through natural cooling or forced air cooling to obtain a stable bending shape.
2. Characteristics
Aesthetics: It can be made into various curves and shapes according to design requirements, such as circles, ellipses, arcs, etc., which can meet the needs of different architectural and decorative styles and add unique artistic effects to the space.
Safety: Hot bent glass is usually reinforced to make its strength higher and impact resistance better than ordinary flat glass. When subjected to external impact, it is not easily broken into sharp fragments, reducing the risk of harm to the human body.
Transparency: It maintains the original good transparency of the glass, allowing light to fully pass through, making the indoor space bright and transparent, while also providing clear visibility.
Thermal insulation: Hot bending glass can improve its thermal insulation performance by using hollow or sandwich structures, effectively reducing heat transfer and energy consumption, and playing a role in energy conservation and environmental protection.
3. Application Fields
Architectural decoration: commonly used in doors, windows, curtain walls, skylights, stair handrails, and other parts of buildings to create unique architectural appearances and spatial effects. For example, the curved curtain walls of some large commercial buildings can create a smooth and modern visual effect by using hot curved glass.
Furniture manufacturing: can be used to make countertops, cabinet doors, screens and other components of furniture, adding elegant curves and unique shapes to furniture. The hot curved glass countertop of some coffee tables is not only beautiful, but also has good practicality.
Display field: In museums, exhibition halls, shop windows and other display venues, hot bent glass is often used to make display cabinets, display stands, etc., which can better display exhibits and attract the attention of the audience.
In the field of transportation, the window glass of vehicles such as cars, trains, and airplanes also uses hot bending glass to adapt to the curved shape of the body, while ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, and providing certain safety protection.
