A METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF A BENT, COATED, LAMINATED GLAZING, AND A RESULTANT GLAZING

摘要

A method of producing a bent, coated, laminated glazing comprises: providing a coating on a surface of each of first and second plies of glazing material; heating each of the coated plies; causing each of the coated plies to bend in one or more directions such that complementary shapes are achieved to enable subsequent pairing of the plies to form a laminate; cooling each of the bent, coated plies so as to fix their bent shapes; pairing the bent, coated plies about a ply of interlayer material to form a composite such that the coated surface of the first bent ply and the uncoated surface of the second bent ply are adjacent to the interlayer ply; and subjecting the composite to heat and pressure to laminate the glazing plies together.
