Overview Of Curved GlassTruCurve - Premier supplier of curved glass and glass laminating in Ireland

Curved glass is produced by means of a heat process which softens the glass, enough to shape it. There are several different methods used to achieve the shape, the most common of which is allowing flat glass to sag, or bend, into a metal mould under the force of gravity. This is the method Trucurve uses.

Curved glass is widely used in our modern world and many times we don’t even notice it. For example the front windscreen of a bus or the glass front of the display counter in the local deli shop. Yes it’s all around us, and it’s because of this very fact, the huge diversity and range of its use, that the industry is broken into 3 main areas.

  • 1. Architecture
  • 2. Automotive
  • 3. Furniture
Each segment of the industry has different critical criteria with which to contend and the ovens used in the production process are custom designed to suit these different criteria. No oven can do everything and so companies tend to specialise in one of the broad categories mentioned above.

‘Architectural applications’ is the industry sector that Trucurve Glass targets mainly. It includes most internal and external applications of glass in a typical building and very often it is used by designers to form a feature or focal point.
So its not just its practical use that we are highlighting here, we also hope to reveal its aesthetic value as an important part of modern décor and its use in artistic applications anywhere from wall murals to name plates.
