| Dramatic lighting can be
achieved
using curved glass emanating
a soft illumination in wall
sconces, glass columns,
and other fixtures.
Typical bent products used
in lighting include single glazed
pieces of safety tempered, safety
laminated, or annealed glass1.
Tempered glass offers four times the strength
and luminous solid edges, but with fewer shape
possibilities than laminated glass of the same
thickness assembled with plies of annealed
glass. Annealed glass offers radiant
solid edges
and the most possibilities for shape and thickness.
Ideas include bent glass with the antique reproduction
appearance of our flat seeded annealed glass, holes
for attachments, and translucent finishes using
opaque lamination, acid-etched, or sandblasted glass. |
