| Custom bent glass can be
used to create sleek stretch sidelites that maintain
passenger comfort while enhancing the sizzling contours of the original
vehicle.
Such limousine sidelites may be required in low volume for prototypes,
custom stretches, repairs, or specialty distributor inventories.
Typical bent products used in stretch
car sidelites, where a special property
such as bullet resistance is not required, include single glazed
pieces of automotive
safety tempered glass1.
This product offers a high strength-to-thickness ratio, but has
in the past often been limited to longer runs of a given specification
when compared to
the availability of single pieces of laminated glass. However, more
flexible technologies
have increasingly encouraged lower volume production, even as single
pieces.
Ideas include bent glass with holes for
attachments, silkscreen ceramic frit,
and tinted substrates such as
greens and grays. |
