Oversize Float Glass
Over size float glass is a very large size glass sheet made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin, glass float on the tin surface naturally formed on both sides of the smooth surface, then cool and grow out of the tin cylinder strip slowly. After being polished by fire, it becomes nearly completely over size flat glass. It is commonly used in building of unique design in our daily life.

Over size float glass is a clear, distortion-free glass that we offer in a wide range of large sizes and thicknesses to suit any flat glass application.

Float Glass
Clear float glass is a common type of glass for windows and glass containers, especially in the food and beverage industry. The most popular type of clear float glass is soda-lime glass, named for its green color. This type of glass makes up about 90% of all manufactured glass. Clear float glass is also a preferred recycling material because it can be remelted and softened repeatedly without losing its integrity.

Properties of Clear Float Glass
Float glass is named for its manufacturing process. Raw materials such as silica sand, soda, lime, potash and recycled glass are melted together in a furnace. The molten glass composition is poured into a molten tin chamber. Since glass is lighter than tin, it floats to the top and forms a uniform layer on the surface. The glass then undergoes a cooling process that stabilizes and hardens it.

Key characteristics of clear float glass include
High light transmission: The most notable advantage of float glass is its smooth, clear surface with no streaks or bubbles. Its light transmission is usually around 85-90%.
Chemically Inert: Clear float glass is non-chemically reactive and impermeable, making it ideal for applications involving contact with other substances such as food and beverages.
Recyclable: Clear float glass can be recycled many times over, making it very environmentally friendly.
Durable: It can be chemically tempered for greater hardness and scratch resistance.

Clear Float Glass Suppliers in China
Clear Float glass is produced by high-quality sand, natural ores and chemical materials by mixing them and melting them at high temperature; The molten glass flow into tin bath where the float glass is spread, polished and formed on the molten tin.
Clear Float Glass
Basic glass, versatile and suitable for different needs
Clear float glass is the foundation of every magnificent glass project. It can be processed in every way imaginable and is often used as the base glass for an entire range of glass products, including coatings, mirrors, back-painted glass, acid-etched glass, and more.

Benefits
Clear
Float glass has high light transmittance, providing a clear, undistorted view. Due to its crystal clarity, float glass has the unparalleled advantage of connecting you to the nature around you while protecting us from the elements. The natural light it allows into the building helps improve the visual comfort of the building's occupants while reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Easy to process
During the float glass manufacturing process, raw materials are melted to form a hot glass ribbon, which is then cooled in a controlled manner to introduce a uniform stress distribution in the annealed glass. An optimal annealing process helps ensure that float glass can be cut easily during further processing.

Lacquered Glass
Lacquered Glass is made by the top quality clear float or ultra-clear float glass, to achieve the perfect shade as you specify, by through depositing a coating of highly durable and resistant lacquer onto the flat and smooth surface of the glass one side, then by carefully baking into furnace which is constant temperature, permanently bonding the lacquer onto the glass.

Lacquered Glass has all the features of the original float glass, but also supplied wonderful opaque and colorful decorative application.

Lacquered glass, also known as back-painted glass, offers several benefits due to its unique properties and applications.

Here are some of the advantages of using lacquered glass
Aesthetic Appeal: Lacquered glass has a sleek and modern appearance. It is available in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing designers to create visually striking and customized interiors.

Color Consistency: The manufacturing process of lacquered glass ensures uniform color and finish, providing a consistent and high-quality appearance throughout the glass panel.

Easy to Clean: Lacquered glass surfaces are smooth and non-porous, making them easy to clean and maintain. Regular glass cleaners or mild soapy water can be used to remove smudges and stains.

Hygienic: The smooth and non-porous surface of lacquered glass makes it a hygienic choice for applications in areas where cleanliness is crucial, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Durability: The lacquer coating on the back of the glass is protected from wear and damage, ensuring that the color and finish remain intact over time.

Moisture Resistance: Lacquered glass is resistant to moisture and humidity, making it suitable for use in areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms and wet rooms.

Customization: It can be customized in terms of color, size, and shape to fit specific design requirements. This flexibility allows for creative and unique interior design solutions.

Light Reflection: Lacquered glass can enhance the reflection of natural and artificial light, helping to brighten up spaces and make them appear more spacious.
