Curved glass is an arc-shaped glass product formed by heating and softening flat glass through special bending and molding processes, then precisely bending and shaping it on a dedicated mold. As the core category of curved forming glass, it combines excellent practical performance and high-end aesthetic texture, widely applicable to multiple mainstream industries such as architecture, consumer electronics, and automobiles, and has become a core material for enhancing the appearance and functionality in modern product design. Konshen glass's advanced glass bending equipment and rich curved glass processing experience turn your design into reality.
Curved glass is becoming increasingly popular in electronic display devices due to its ability to enhance both the visual appeal and user experience. Anti-Glare, Anti-Reflective, Anti-fingerprint coating are commonly selected for some usages.
Curved glass is found in certain electronic products, especially in smartphones, TVs, and monitors. The curved screens not only improve visual appeal but also enhance touch interaction and user experience.
Curved glass is commonly used in interactive kiosks, such as self-service check-in stations, digital directories, and information booths. The curvature of the glass enhances the aesthetic appeal of the device while also improving its usability.
In the automotive industry, curved glass is being increasingly applied to in-vehicle screens and displays, benefiting from its wide display size and premium visual experience.
Curved glass is often used in building facades and Exhibition Halls, particularly in modern architecture. The curved shape can provide a unique visual effect, giving buildings a sleek and contemporary look.
In interior design, bent glass is used for features like glass railings, staircase balustrades, shower partitions, and decorative panels. The curved form adds a unique visual element, creating a softer, more fluid aesthetic in the space.

Conventional Hot Bending Process (Suitable for curved glass for construction, furniture and general decoration, applicable for both single-layer and double-layer laminated glass) It is the most industrially mature hot bending process, divided into mold hot bending method (adopted in over 90% of applications) and moldless hot bending method (niche application for large-curvature and shallow curved surfaces). The mold hot bending method is further classified into vacuum hot bending and compression molding hot bending, with core differences in forming pressure and curvature adaptability. Mainstream: Mold vacuum hot bending method (Suitable for shallow-curvature and large-size glass, such as building curtain walls and curved display windows) |

High-end Precision 3D Hot Bending Process (Suitable for precision components in electronics and automotive industries, such as 3D cover glass for mobile phones, curved central control screens for automobiles, and watch dials for smart watches) As an upgraded version of the conventional hot bending process, it is core-adapted to thin high-aluminosilicate glass (thickness: 0.33~1.1mm). It requires no steps, no warpage on the curved surface, thickness deviation ≤0.03mm, and surface profile accuracy ≤0.02mm. Its core differences from the conventional hot bending process lie in higher temperature control precision, lower forming pressure, superior molds and atmosphere protection. The graphite mold vacuum hot bending method is the mainstream and an industry standard. |
