Unique Glass

The process of creating bent glass typically involves the following steps:

1. Heating: A sheet of glass is heated to a high temperature, making it soft and pliable. The temperature is carefully controlled to ensure the glass doesn't break or become too deformed.

2. Bending: The softened glass is then placed over a mold or in a bending machine that shapes it into the desired curve. The mold can be made of metal, wood, or other materials, and it dictates the radius and form of the bend.

3. Cooling: After bending, the glass is gradually cooled to strengthen and stabilize it. This cooling process is crucial to prevent the glass from cracking or warping.

4. Finishing: After cooling, the glass is cut to size, polished, and sometimes tempered to increase strength, especially for applications where safety is critical.
