Float Glass

Float glass is a flat glass product manufactured through a process involving the floating of molten glass on a liquid metal bath, typically tin. This technique yields glass sheets of exceptional flatness and uniformity. The process in the mid-20th century, has revolutionized glass production. Unlike its predecessors, float glass possesses superior optical properties, allowing for minimal distortion and high light transmission. Its smooth surfaces facilitate further processing, making it a versatile substrate for various applications such as glazing, automotive components, and electronic displays. The inherent qualities of float glass have significantly contributed to advancements in architectural design and technological innovation.
