Clear Float Glass is manufactured from silica sand, soda ash, lime and dolomite; which are mixed together and melted at a temperature of 1500°C, to be transformed into products than can be 2 mm up to 19 mm thick.
Clear Float Glass not only meets to perfection the needs of traditional glazing; as a result of its beauty and versatility, it has enabled the design professional to find new, more creative, more elaborate, more attractive and above all more functional uses for it.
Uses and Applications
Due to the unsurpassed clarity obtained through the manufacturing process, Clear Float Glass is the best choice for windows, store fronts, decorative mirrors and many other uses.
Modern design tendencies tell us that Clear Float Glass is also excellent for other uses, particularly in interiors, for example: table tops, shelves, folding screens, consoles, and many other accessories where elegance needs to be evident. Any space decorated with this material acquires modernity.
Technical progress has today allowed ordinary glass to be made safe, as LAMINATED and TEMPERED glass, and to be made thermal insulated, as the DUO VENT Units. | |
