Bending Capabilities
Our marine glass products can be custom-made to fit your project’s parameters. Glasshape can manufacture certified specialty marine glass in both flat panes and our signature bends. We have the ability to bend our glass into many different shapes and sizes, providing a limitless array of options for custom designs.
Our glass is bent using two main methods
2D - Two Dimensional:
When using this design, the direction of curvature runs in one direction, effectively creating a cylindrical form.
3D - Three Dimensional:
Three dimensional designs use a multi-directional bend, resulting in a complex curvature, like a dome.
