Float glass is known for its enhanced quality and versatility. It is manufactured through a unique process called the float glass method, which involves floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin to create a smooth and uniform sheet. It has a flat surface and can be tinted, coated, laminated, or tempered to enhance its properties, such as ultraviolet (UV) protection, privacy, or safety. It is a recyclable material that benefits resource conservation and reduces environmental impact. It transmits natural light without distortion, enhances the aesthetics of structures, and contributes to energy efficiency by allowing daylight to enter interior spaces. As a result, float glass is widely utilized in the automotive, construction, electronics, furniture, aerospace, and medical industries across the globe.
