Description
Clear float glass is a versatile and popular building material that is widely used in a variety of applications. It is a high-quality, flat, transparent glass that is made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin, which creates a uniform thickness and a smooth surface. The resulting glass is highly durable, with excellent clarity and optical quality, making it ideal for use in windows, doors, partitions, and other architectural applications. Clear float glass is also available in a range of thicknesses and sizes, making it easy to customize to fit any design or project requirements. Its strength and durability make it an ideal choice for use in safety glass applications, as well as in solar panels and other high-performance applications where optical clarity is critical.
