 | Most window glass is made from the “Float Glass” process but the mixture of raw materials can vary slightly… |
 | It is a normal float-clear glass into whose melt colorants are added for tinting and solar-radiation absorption properties… |
 | Low-emission glass (Low-E) is a clear glass, it has a microscopically-thin coating of metal oxide. This allows the sun's heat and light to pass through the glass into the building. At the same time it blocks heat from leaving the room, reducing heat loss considerably… |
 | Bent glass is a normal glass, which is curved with a special process. It can be used for external sites, such as facades, shop fronts, panoramic lifts etc. and is also commonly used for internal sites in showcases, shower doors, refrigerator cabinets etc… |
 | Liquid crystal glazing, which is transparent or opaque according to whether or not it is activated by an electric field, can be used to instantly shut out unwanted eyes from or into rooms, offices or across counter barriers… |
 | Self-cleaning glass is an ordinary float glass with a special photocatalytic coating. It is made by chemically bonding and integrating a microscopically-thin surface layer to the exterior surface of clear glass… |
 | The glass is covered by a chemical solution which produces a higher mechanical resistance. Chemically-strengthened glass has similar properties to thermal-treated glass… |
 | This is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass. This gives the glass a translucent surface, which is usually rougher than that obtained by etching. During sandblasting, only the areas that are to remain transparent are masked for protection… |
 | Photovoltaic glass is a special glass with integrated solar cells, to convert solar energy into electricity. This means that the power for an entire building can be produced within the roof and façade areas… |
 | This is an amber-colored glass containing 70% lead oxide, which significantly reduces ionizing radiation (X and Y). It is available as single sheets, laminated or incorporated into double glazed units. X-ray protection glass is used in medical or industrial radiology… |
