Float glass is the most basic and widely used glass in construction. Manufactured by floating molten glass on molten tin, it results in a smooth, flat surface with uniform thickness — the foundation of modern architectural glazing.
Float glass is produced by the float process, where molten glass is poured onto a bed of molten tin. The glass floats on the tin, spreading out and forming a flat, uniform sheet as it cools. This process produces glass with a perfectly smooth surface and consistent thickness throughout.
Float glass is the base material from which most other glass types (toughened, laminated, coated) are manufactured. In its basic form, it is used extensively in construction for windows, doors, and glazing applications.
The most common application — float glass provides clear, distortion-free views and maximum natural light transmission.
Used in glass-panelled doors to add light and visual connection between spaces.
Clear float glass partitions create defined spaces while maintaining visual openness and light flow.
The flat, smooth surface of float glass makes it ideal for mirrors, table tops, and furniture applications.
