Product type
Clear float glass is a type of flat glass made by floating molten glass on top of molten tin, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface. It is known for its clarity and optical quality, making it ideal for various applications in construction and architecture. The glass is typically produced in large sheets and can be cut to size for specific uses.
| Thickness | 2mm to 19mm |
| Standard sizes | Up to 3210mm x 6000mm |
| Light transmittance | Approximately 90% or higher |
| Thermal conductivity | Approximately 1.0 W/m·K |
| Color | Clear, with minimal green tint |
When selecting clear float glass, consider the thickness required for your application, as it can affect both strength and insulation properties. Specify the dimensions needed, and inquire about any surface treatments or coatings if necessary. It's also important to check for compliance with local building codes and standards, especially for safety and energy efficiency.

Float glass is not heat-treated and is less durable than tempered glass, which is heat-treated for increased strength.
Yes, but it may require additional treatments for weather resistance.
Typically, 4mm to 6mm is used for standard residential windows.
On its own, it has moderate insulation properties; consider low-E coatings for better energy efficiency.
Yes, it can be cut to various sizes based on project requirements.
