Thermoformed Curved Glass vs Alternative Shallow Solutions

Thermal forming (heat slumping) utilizes CNC-controlled infrared heating zones to soften glass to plastic state (viscosity 10⁷·⁶ poise) at 650-720°C, then gravity-sag or vacuum-form over precision ceramic molds. Controlled cooling preserves optical clarity while locking curvature within ±0.5mm tolerance.

Customization Capabilities

Step 3

Mass Production

With over 6,000㎡ production facilities and skilled workers, we carry out efficient and stable mass production. Strict process control guarantees consistent quality and on-time delivery.
Step 4

Quality Inspection

A complete and scientific quality management system is applied throughout production. Each batch undergoes strict inspection to meet international quality and export requirements.
Step 5

International Delivery

With rich export experience to over 150 countries and regions, we arrange safe and efficient international logistics. We support sea, air, and multimodal transportation to ensure products arrive on time and in perfect condition.
Step 6

Curved Glass Lamp Shade Technical FAQs

Practical minimum 15mm depth for Φ200mm diameter (R≈300mm). Shallower profiles risk spring-back and optical distortion. For <15mm, consider flat edge-lit panels (different technology, not true curved glass).

Annealed curved glass retains base material strength. For safety-critical applications, we post-temper after forming (curved tempered), achieving 5× strength with maintained curvature (±1mm tolerance relaxation).

Yes. We reverse-engineer ceiling radius from site templates or 3D scans, then CNC machine matching ceramic molds. Tolerance ±2mm over 600mm span. For compound curves (saddle shapes), vacuum forming enables 3D contouring.

Three strategies: (1) Thickness increase to 4-5mm for >Φ400mm, (2) Ribbed or stepped reinforcement on hidden surface, (3) Tempering for structural rigidity. Engineering consultation included for >Φ500mm designs.

Yes with proper edge sealing. Our fire-polished rims with silicone gasket achieve IP44 (splashing water). For IP65 (jets), specify laminated curved glass or additional frame sealing. Not recommended for submersion.

Annealed: 2000×1000mm (limited by kiln size). Tempered: 1200×600mm (quench uniformity limit). Larger areas use butt-jointed multiple pieces with optical-grade UV adhesive (seam nearly invisible when lit).

Technical Validation for Every Shade

Polariscope Stress Test: Each batch is subject to spot inspection, and there are no color difference stripes under polarized light (stress <20nm/cm)
Thermal Shock Testing: The sample did not burst after being cycled 10 times from -20°C to +130°C
Dimensional CMM Report: Three-dimensional measurement of key dimensions, with delivery report attached
Light Transmission Spectroscopy: 280-780nm spectrum ensures that the opalescence/chromaticity meets the standard

6-Step Curved Glass Lamp Shade Manufacturing Process

The magic happens in the thermal gradient — too hot, glass flows and thins; too cold, it resists and springs back. Our CNC zone control maintains the 50°C sweet spot across 600mm spans, achieving curvature accuracy impossible in manual kilns.

CNC Cutting

Water knife or diamond knife, size ± 0.5mm

Mold Preparation

Ceramic mold R accuracy ± 0.3mm, surface coated with boron nitride

Thermal Forming

Infrared heating 650-720 ° C, vacuum/gravity forming, temperature control ± 5 ° C

Annealing

560 ° C insulation for 4-12 hours,<3 ° C/h slow cooling
