    Clear float glass is colorless and transparent, providing high light transmittance. Tinted glass is produced on the float process with added metal oxides, resulting in colors like green, gray, blue, and bronze. Tinted glass reduces solar transmittance by absorbing solar energy. Supertints like Evergreen provide higher light transmittance than standard tints while improving solar control. They selectively transmit visible light over UV and infrared bands. Supergray provides the lowest light transmittance and best solar control, while products like Starphire and Diamant are ultra-clear with high color transmittance and clarity ideal for atriums.

    • It involves the pouring of molten glass from a furnace onto a addition of small quantities of metal oxides
    large, shallow bath of molten tin. to the normal clear glass mix.
    • Clear float glass is colorless and transparent thereby providing • The standard range of colors are Green,
    a high degree of visible light transmittance. Grey,
    Blue and Bronze.
    • The color density will increase with
    thickness while the
    visible light transmittance will decrease
    correspondingly as the thickness increases
    • Tinted glasses reduce solar transmittance by
    absorbing a large proportion of the solar
    energy, the majority of which is
    subsequently dissipated to the outside by
    re-radiation and convection.

    family of tinted glass products. Products such - 66% light transmittance,
    as Evergreen/Solargreen, Azurlite and Arctic Blue - 43% for standard grey,
    - 51% for standard bronze

    2.4 LOW IRON

    • Products such as Starphire and Diamant are


    ultraclear glasses that are amazingly white.
    • Increasingly, architects are looking for a
    white glass because of its high fidelity colour
    transmittance and the clarity of the edges
    make it ideal for atriums or indeed entire
    facades where solar control is not a factor.
