High Quality Float Glass - Clear, Blue, and Flat Options Available

What Is Float Glass?

Float glass is a type of flat glass produced through the "float" process, which involves floating molten glass atop a bed of molten tin. This technique yields glass sheets with unprecedented uniformity in thickness and a perfectly smooth surface. Thanks to its exceptional optical clarity, mechanical strength, and adaptability to further processing (such as tempering, laminating, and coating), float glass has become the dominant base material for architectural, automotive, electronic, and solar panel applications ([GlassOnWeb]).
