Float glass is the industry standard, all-purpose clear glass. It
may be used as-is or as a base for processing into laminated,
tempered, acid-etched, and other processed glass forms. Float glass
is generally available in both clear and tinted varieties - clear
float glass is transparent, and allows for the transmission of most
light on the visible spectrum. Tinted float glass, produced by
adding different colouring agents to the glass mix, is slightly
more opaque and emphasizes distinctive tones of grey, green, blue,
or bronze.Float glass is manufactured by pouring molten glass
material into a chamber containing a large, shallow pool of molten
tin. The effect of the molten glass on the tin is similar to that
of oil on water. The molten glass "floats" atop the aluminum (hence
the name float glass), spreading evenly so it can be cooled into a
uniform sheet. The float process is also referred to as the
Pilkington Process, named for the Pilkington brothers, who created
the manufacturing process in the mid 20th century. Good quality
clear float glass is free from imperfections and distortions, and
provides a flat, transparent surface, allowing up to 92 percent of
visible light to pass through, depending on the thickness. Tinted
float glass of similar quality lets in less light due to the
presence of colour additives, making it a good candidate for
applications where privacy is a consideration.The thickness of
float glass is determined at the time of manufacture and can vary
significantly depending on the intended use. Typically, float glass
is manufactured in thicknesses from 1.7mm to 25mm. Very thin float
glass, less than 5mm, is typically found in small-scale
applications such as commercial picture frames, display cases, and
household decor. Very thin float glass is also being increasingly
used in technology applications, including phone and TV screens.
Medium thicknesses may be used in residential applications such as
shower doors and windows, while thicknesses 15mm and up are
generally reserved for special purposes and upscale
developments.(Size can be customized.) CLEAR FLOAT
