Clear float glass, also known as soda-lime glass, is a versatile and widely used type of flat glass. It is produced by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin during the manufacturing process. This technique ensures uniform thickness, flatness, and excellent optical clarity. Clear float glass has high light transmittance, providing undistorted views and connecting indoor spaces with the surrounding environment.
Optical Clarity: Float glass offers crystal-clear views. It allows natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Easy to Process: Its optimal annealing process ensures easy cutting during further processing.
Durability and Sustainability: Float glass withstands time and can be recycled indefinitely. Using recycled glass (cullet) reduces energy consumption.
Design Flexibility: From functional coatings to various aesthetics, float glass serves as the foundation for architectural creativity.
