Flat glass is heated until soft, carefully formed to the desired shape, and then
annealed by controlled cooling to minimize trapped energy within the glass.
The resulting bent annealed product offers un-enhanced strength and the
stability of minimized internal stresses, but if broken, breaks in a
traditional large fracture pattern.

This product begins as flat glass commonly selected from the broad
range of commercial float products including clear, ultra clarity low-iron,
grays, bronzes, greens, and blues. The surface may have a reflective,
low-e, self-cleaning, or other pyrolitic coating. Specific colors
and coatings are often known simply by the brand names assigned by
primary glass manufacturers⁸. We also process patterned, stained,
cast, glue-chip, ground, and acid-etched glass. These flat sheets are
CNC fabricated and then undergo the complex processes to create
bent annealed glass⁷.

We offer bent annealed glass in 3/32" to 1" thickness⁵. Options include
shape cuts, sandblasting, silkscreen ceramic frit, holes, notches,
cutouts, and edge finishes such as clean cut, seamed (sanded),
arris flat polished, flat ground, pencil polished, bevel polished,
or angle mitred.
