Benefits of Float Glas

Clarity
Float glass has high light transmittance, providing clear and undistorted views. Due to its crystal-like clarity, float glass has the incomparable benefit of connecting you with the surrounding nature, while protecting us from the elements. The natural daylight it allows into a building helps with the visual comfort of a building’s occupants, while lowering demand for artificial lighting.

Easy to process
During the float glass manufacturing process, the raw materials are melted to form a hot ribbon of glass, which is then cooled down in a controlled way to introduce into the annealed glass a uniform stress profile. An optimal annealing process helps ensure that the float glass can be cut easily during further processing.

Durability
Float glass can withstand the use of time, but it can also be recycled an unlimited number of times. Glass cullet (broken or recycled glass) is one of the raw materials used in the production of float glass. Having already been through the mineralization process, cullet can allow the energy required to heat the mix of raw materials to the fusion state to be reduced, while helping to reduce the quantity of natural raw materials needed to produce the same volume of glass.

Multiple design options
Float glass is the foundation of many other technologies. Adding a functional coating on the glass can help improve the overall energy efficiency of a building, while offering many different aesthetic options, from colored to neutral, from more to less reflective.

Applications of Float Glass

Displays
Owing to its crystal-clear transparency, float glass serves as the ideal choice for displaying items. They can be used for showroom display cases, retail shop windows, and countertops to protect valuable items such as expensive watches, jewellery, and so on, yet be able to showcase the beauty of the unique products effortlessly. The AIS Clear Float Glass offers a sparkling and brilliant lustre with a crystal-clear finish to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your spaces with its luminosity.

Facades
There is nothing more affluent and sophisticated than the sight of towering and glistening skyscrapers made from glass and what better choice than float glass processed with glazing to create the perfect structure, which is just as aesthetic as it is functional? The glazing makes the glass tougher and increases its efficiency, whereas the float glass itself serves unparalleled charm and aesthetics with its superior clarity.

Wall Panels
Whether it is for creating partitions in your home or your personal cabin in the office. Wall panels are a great way to spruce up décor and increase the visual appeal of your spaces. Wall panels with tinted float glass can add a much-needed splash of colour to your space and breathe new life into the room.

Key Global Standards for Float Glass

EN 572 (European Norm)
EN 572 is the most widely recognized standard for basic float glass in Europe. It outlines the technical specifications for float glass, which include:

Optical quality: Clarity and absence of distortions.
Thickness tolerances: Allowable variations in glass thickness.
Mechanical properties: Strength and load-bearing capacity.
Chemical composition: Standards for silica, soda ash, and lime content to ensure consistent quality.

ASTM C1036 (American Standards)
In the United States, ASTM C1036 governs the manufacturing of float glass. It categorizes glass into three types based on quality:

Type I: Transparent glass, commonly used in construction and mirrors.
Type II: Tinted glass, which absorbs heat and reduces glare.
Type III: Wired glass, embedded with mesh for safety applications.

This standard also specifies permissible defects such as bubbles, inclusions, and surface scratches.

ISO 16293 (International Standards)
The ISO 16293 standard ensures that float glass meets global standards for transparency, durability, and safety. It provides guidelines for visual and optical quality, emphasizing:

Surface smoothness.
Consistent coloration for tinted float glass.
Resistance to environmental factors like temperature changes and UV exposure.

Chinese GB/T Standards
In China, float glass production adheres to GB/T 11614. This standard emphasizes:

Thickness precision, particularly for ultra-thin and ultra-thick glass.
Durability under varying environmental conditions.
High optical transparency, particularly for applications like solar panels and automotive glass.

Other Regional Standards

Indian Standard IS 14900: Specifies dimensions, tolerances, and optical clarity for float glass.
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS R3202): Emphasizes safety, quality, and optical performance for various grades of float glass.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between float glass and normal glass?

A: Ordinary glass is emerald green, transparency is not high, it easy to occure deformation and aging under rain. Clear float glassis dark green, smooth surface without ripples, perspective is good, it has a certain toughness.

Q: What is the difference between float glass and tinted glass?

A: Tinted glass is produced by adding metal oxides to float glass during manufacture. Tinted glass absorbs and re-radiates solar energy reducing heat and in can provide cost efficient climate control. Tinted glass also reduces sun glare and is aesthetically appealing.

Q: Does float glass break easily?

A: Float glass is quite inexpensive but it cracks and breaks easily.

Q: How to identify float glass?

A: After you clean the glass thoroughly, place a single drop of water gently onto the glass from about 1 to 1.5 inches away on both sides of the glass. (Don't touch the glass when you drop the water.) Then compare the results. If the water drop spreads out, it's the non-tin side.

Q: What are the two types of float glass?

A: There are two types of glass made by the float process, clear glass and tinted glass. Most of the flat glass made by the float process is clear glass.

Q: How to clean float glass?

A: Wash water temperature should be 130°F + for all float and pattern glass. the washer to even out brush wear ♦ Brushes should be replaced/trimmed when wear makes adjustment difficult, especially in the center ♦ Never allow glass to stop in the washer especially under rotating brushes as marking can occur.

Q: What thickness does float glass come in?

A: Standard thicknesses of float glass are 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 19mm, and 25mm. When viewed from the edge, standard clear float glass has an intrinsic green hue.

Q: Can float glass be heat soaked?

A: Heat soaking is not a guaranteed practice to eliminate spontaneous breakage of tempered float glass. Yet, heat soaking float glass is the only proven method to test and contain glass panels that may be subject to contamination and possible failure due to nickel sulfide inclusions.
