MAXI-CURVE

WHAT IS MAXI-CURVE?

With enviable production facilities and a wealth of experience GGI offers MAXI­CURVE, one of the most versatile ranges of curved glass products available from the World Class of glass processors.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Architects and designers increasingly demand products to fit their concepts for novel dimension in space and light that typically must be environmentally friendly and cost effective.

HIGH VOLUME & EXACT REPLICATION

The escalating requirement for curved glass also dictates producers must be capable of high volumes with exact replication.

AFFORDABLE

For those designers wishing to make a building feature with a small volume of curved glass ‘no mould’ requirement or ‘zero tooling’ makes MAXI-CURVE affordable.

MAXI-CURVE is a family of curved architectural glass products that meets those demands.
