The Art and Science of Bending Glass

Understanding Geometry and Design

The process of bending glass starts with understanding the geometry of the desired curves. Our team excels in creating precise templates and molds, which are crucial for achieving the exact curvature required by our clients. This involves intricate calculations and a deep understanding of spatial design.

Expansive Mold Inventory

We boast an extensive inventory of molds, one of the largest in the industry, which allows us to offer a wide range of shapes and sizes for bent glass. This vast selection ensures quick turnaround times and the ability to meet custom requirements without the need for extensive new tooling.

Prototyping

Our prototyping process is a critical step that ensures each piece of curved glass meets our stringent standards for quality and design. By creating prototypes, we can refine aesthetics and functionality before final production, ensuring each piece is perfect.

Temperature Control and Kiln Precision

Glass is bent in our gas and electric kilns, where temperatures are meticulously controlled to ensure consistency and strength. The glass is heated to a precise temperature that allows it to soften and bend into molds without compromising its durability.
