A key testament to the flexibility of VS1 is its ability to accommodate curved glass panels at little to no extra cost. Whether the glass is hot-bent or cold-bent in the field, the standard VS1 mullions and fittings are tailor-made to achieve an architect’s facade vision without design compromise or exorbitant extra costs.
