Float Glass

This is the most common type of glass which is generally available on glass retail shops for use in the buildings. The stock sheets of glass are cut to size generally on the glass shop itself and supplied to site for glazing in the windows or other applications.

Basic float glass is manufactured by melting sand. Other ingredients such as soda ash, limestone, salt cake and broken cullet glasses are added to lower the melting temperature of silica and promote optical clarity of the finished glass product. Mixed batch of above materials is heated to a temperature of 1450 to 1650º C and formed into large flat sheets by floating molten glass on molten tin, thus giving it precise flatness and transparency.
