Bent Tempered Glass
Bent tempered glass is a safety glass with increased mechanical and thermal strength, used on curved architectural surfaces. With a range of size and radius options, Camglass offers solutions for the curved forms required by architectural designs.
Used in insulating glass units with suitable glass and coating combinations, it provides thermal insulation and solar control on curved facades. Performance values are determined by the build-up of glass, coatings and cavities in the unit.
Available in clear, low-iron, tinted and ceramic printed options. Laminated options with clear and coloured interlayers meet a variety of design needs.
Camglass bent tempered glass is supplied as monolithic, laminated or insulating glass according to the project’s size, radius and performance requirements.

Related Production Processes
Before bent tempering: Cutting and edge grinding; drilling and CNC processing according to the fixing detail. For the ceramic printing option, printing is completed before heat treatment.
After bent tempering: Lamination or insulating glass assembly as required by the project, ensuring form and dimensional compatibility between the layers.
Applications
Glass Balustrades
Facade Systems
Interior Partitions

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes can bent tempered glass be produced in?
Arc length, height, radius and glass thickness are determined together according to the project geometry. Radius and dimensional suitability are assessed before production.
Can bent glass be laminated or insulated?
Yes. It is available as single glass, bent laminated glass or bent insulating glass units. The form fit of the layers is ensured in laminated glass, and insulating units with suitable glass and coating combinations provide thermal insulation and solar control on curved facades.
Which glass options are available?
Clear, low-iron, tinted and ceramic-printed options are available. Laminated options with clear and coloured interlayers meet different design needs.
