KSD Utilizing Bent Glass Design’s Curved Glass
Kim Doubleday, the President of KSD, ordered curved glass from Bent Glass Design for several residential projects shown in this posting. Curved glass fixed windows were installed in a stairway between the first and second floor of a residence in Maine. Another example of curved glass fixed windows can be seen in a home in Connecticut. The third project, a private residence in New Hampshire, shows curved sliding doors made of mahogany on the exterior and red birch on the interior glazed in a sliding track system.

How is condensation eliminated on the windows of Schloss Elmau, for example
Condensation is eliminated IN the windows through the manufacturing process use of dry air or argon along with a desiccant to make sure the dewpoint is below any temperature the window will experience. Condensation ON the window interior is eliminated by producing a window with sufficient R-Value insulation to prevent the interior layer of glass from getting colder than the interior building dewpoint.
