Curved toughened glass
Curved toughened glass combines durability with a three-dimensional form that gives large-scale glazings a unique look.
Functionality
and aesthetics
Construction glass is mainly associated with flat surfaces of facades, partition walls and other interior design elements. However, it also has a completely different aspect, in which - thanks to the possibility of bending - it gains a third dimension.
The curved glass offered by PRESS GLASS is made in a process based on toughening. After reaching the glass temperature close to the softening point, the glass pane is curved to obtain the required shape and then quickly cooled down i.e. toughened. In the bending process, the glass is given a new functional and aesthetic quality.
3D glass
In addition to cylindrically curved glass, we offer 3D curved glass. This is a revolutionary patented technology that allows you to shape three-dimensional, smoothly changing glass surfaces and facades. Read the details of 3D glass on our dedicated landing page.

The ETA (European Technical Assessment) issued for Press Glass certifies that it is now the only company in Europe authorised to issue a declaration of performance for cylindrically curved toughened and laminated glass in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This unique achievement allows PRESS GLASS to stamp its curved products and paperwork with the European CE mark for this group of products, confirming both their high quality and their compliance with the highest safety standards.
