Clear Glass

As the name suggests, clear float glass is colourless and highly transparent when viewed face on with a slight green tinge when viewed on edge. If offers a very high level of natural daylight or visible light transmittance to pass through it and little resistance to the sun’s direct solar energy. Thicknesses produced range from 2mm to 25mm. It is also named Float glass in many cases

Basic Information

As the name suggests, clear float glass is colourless and highly transparent when viewed face on with a slight green tinge when viewed on edge. If offers a very high level of natural daylight or visible light transmittance to pass through it and little resistance to the sun’s direct solar energy. Thicknesses produced range from 2mm to 25mm. It is also named Float glass in many cases

Features

Float glass is made by pouring molten glass mixture from a furnace into a chamber containing a bed of molten tin. This process is sometimes called the Pilkington process. The atmosphere inside is strictly controlled. The glass floats on the tin and forms the shape of the container. Out of the tin chamber, the glass is sent into an oven called a lehr. it cools slowly at a specific rate there. This annealing process helps relieve the glass's internal stress. Cooling speed is critical to the success of the final productAnd then cut to the proper size.
