The perfect cold bending for the perfect glazed dome. Tvitec System Glass at the Shell Oil Company Headquarters in The Hague with Octatube.

Cold bending

The secret to cold bending lies in °Õ±¹¾±³Ù±ð³¦â€™s special calculations department. This system is the only way to push the elasticity of the flat units to the extreme so that they bend between the frames with precise delicacy and without the risk of fractures, emphasises °Õ±¹¾±³Ù±ð³¦â€™s technical director Javier Reguera.
