FLOAT GLASS

Le-Gardien is able to supply quality float glass from major float glass manufacturers around the world.

During the process, molten glass is introduced to a molten tin bath. The molten glass floats on the tin and spreads out thus seeking a controlled level. Control heating will then allows the glass to flow and form a float ribbon of uniform thickness while on the tin bath. Glass is then slowly cooled and fed off from the molten tin into the annealing lehr for further cooling. The glass thickness varies by changing the speed at which the glass ribbon moves into the annealing lehr.

Characteristics

  • High light transmission & optical clarity

  • Can be further fabricated into reflective, Low-E, laminated, security, insulated, heat-treated & ceramic decorated glass

  • May be specified against using toughened glass in certain wind load areas where glass surface optics are critical

Substrate & Applications

Glass Type Thickness Applications
Clear 1.7mm - 25mm Ideal where high visibility & clarity are required.
Crystal Clear 5mm - 12mm Remarkable clarity & sparkling edge in any thickness.
Green 3mm - 12mm Suitable when high light transmission & reduced solar heat gain is required.
Grey/ Bronze/ Blue 3mm - 12mm Suitable where reduced light transmission & reduced solar-heat gain are required. Besides, colour is desired to enhance aesthetics & increase design flexibility.
Blue Green 6mm - 8mm An exceptional combination of high visible light transmittance & low solar heat transmittance.
Azurlite 3.2mm - 10mm Aquamarine appearance with unsurpassed performance. Desirable low shading coefficient & high visible light transmittance.
Evergreen/Solar Green 3mm - 6mm
3mm - 8mm
A high performance green tinted glass with superior solar control characteristic.
Pink 3mm - 10mm A unique colour on its own.
