2. Float Glass
+Float glass is a transparent,colorless
or colored glass with uniform
thickness and homogeneous mass.
+It is a sheet of glass made by
floating molten glass on a bed of
molten metal, typically tin, although
lead and other various low-melting-
point alloys were used in the past.
+This method gives the sheet uniform
thickness and very flat
surfaces.modern windows are made
from float glass.

3. Types Of Float Glass
Clear Glass
It is a clear and transparent annealed glass. Clear float glass
usually has a natural greenish hue or colour. It provides a clear
view of objects when viewed through it. Clear float glass allows
90% of the light coming from the sun to be transmitted into the
room. It is used in doors, windows, solar applications, shelves,
etc. It is also used for further processing to produce other glass
types.
Tinted Glass
The body-tinted glass is a type of float glass in which melted
colourants are added for tinting and solar-radiation absorption
properties. Coatings of various metal oxides are applied on the
surface of float glass to produce a tinted glass. Tinted glass is
available in various shades such as green, blue, bronze, brown, grey,
black, etc. Although tinted glass allows, less amount of heat to be
transmitted, simultaneously the amount of light entering is also
reduced. This type of float glass saves energy, reduces heat
penetration into buildings and gives a striking visual effect. It is an
important architectural element for the exterior appearance of
façades.

4. Types of float glass
Patterned Glass or Textured Glass
Patterned Glass is a decorative and
translucent glass with textures or patterns on
one face of the glass for diffusing light and
obstructing visibility. The pattern or texture is
done by passing hot glass on the rollers
which have a negative impression of the
pattern. It is useful for providing privacy to
interiors of the house, thus extensively used
in exterior windows and bathroom windows.
This type of float glass is also used as
decorative glass for interior partitions, glass
doors, windows, backsplashes, opaque
glazing, etc.

5. Types of float glass
Extra Clear Glass
Clear glass has a greenis hue due to the presence of
iron. Extra clear glass is a high-quality glass which has
very low iron content. Extra clear glass has negligible
colour and thus providing a transparent view through it.
It allows almost 97% of visible light to be transmitted.
Extra clear glass is used for making tabletops, in the
showroom of jewellery items, watches, crystal ware
items, fine fabrics and art wares item, aquariums, etc.
for a sparkling display.

6. Thickness and price of glass
Float glass comes in standard
thicknesses of 3mm, 4mm, 5mm,
6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm,
19mm and 25mm.
5mm float glass costs Rs 22 per sq ft
12mm float glass costs Rs 85 per sq ft

7. Properties of float glass
+High degree of light transmission
+Ability to be produced in a range of colors
+Ability to be produced in a range of
opacities
+Ability of having great electric insulation
+Ability of having low Thermal conductivity
+It has property of Durability,hardness,and
recycling.

8. Manufacturing of float glass
+Feeding raw materials
+Melting furnace
+Refining furnace
+Float bath
+Annealing
+Cutting

10. Uses Of Float Glass
+ Float glass can be used in civil construction and
furniture making
+ Float glass is used in making of doors,windows
and partitions for interiors and exteriors.
+ Used in making of furniture such as receptionist
desks, dining tables, conference tables, coffee
tables and bar tops etc..,
+ Used for display cases in retail outlets,countertops
because of its transparency and ease of cleaning
+ It is used in electronics and technology for
Instance tv,computer, and phone screeens.
