The float glass process pioneered by Pilkington in the 1950s produces float glass by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin. This gives the sheet a uniform thickness and flat surfaces. Float glass can then be further processed into products like tempered glass, laminated glass, and insulated glass panels to increase strength, safety, and insulation. Float glass is currently the most common production method and will likely remain so until more efficient alternatives are developed. Morn Building Materials is a supplier of architectural glass and other facade materials in China that can provide various glass products for applications like facades, roofs, and interiors.

How float glass is produced?-MORN BM

manufacturer Pilkington, which pioneered the technique (invented by Sir Alastair Pilkington) in the 1950s at
their production site in St Helens, Merseyside.
Float glass,mostly are soda-lime glass, is made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal- tin,
This method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat surfaces.Which makes it easy to be further
processed-heat treated glass(tempered glass,heat soaked glass,heat strengthened glass),laminated
glass,and low-E coated insulated glass panels to enhance its strength,safety and insulation performance.
