Float Glass Design
Regular float glass design, typically called annealed glass, is usually used for smaller windows in residential and commercial construction applications. Larger windows should be made using tempered or toughened float glass to enhance durability.
Since float glass is the most commonly used type of glass in the world, its applications are virtually endless. It’s important to note that our Q1 float glass can be used for medium and large windows because it’s thoroughly tempered after the initial annealing process.
Main Features of Float Glass
Transparent and hard – capable of supporting pressures ranging from 5.8 to 10.8 kilograms/cm2.
Available in bulk quantities – made using the most efficient glass manufacturing process.
Easy to work with – comes in flat, uniform sheets that can be easily cut, edged, drilled, polished, and machined.
Smooth and distortion-free – completely flat surfaces. In addition to these core properties, float glass can be toughened and tempered to provide optimal heat and damage resistance.
