At the heart of
Contour's operation is our specially-designed tempering furnace.
Unique in the glass industry, our continuous horizontal tempering
furnace has the capability to temper glass as small as 2 1/4" x 2 1/4".
Our furnace was designed with the rollers set close together, which allows us to temper glass smaller than anyone else can (without the unsightly tong marks usually associated with small glass sizes). This means that producers who have had to use laminated glass in the past can now have fully tempered parts.
