Tinted Glass

It is a normal float-clear glass into whose melt colorants are added for tinting and solar-radiation absorption properties. This reduces heat penetration in buildings. Coloured glass is an important architectural element for the exterior appearance of faзades.

The inclusion of metal oxides creates tinted glass in a range of colors (bronze, grey, blue, green), but some manufacturers have slightly different formulations and tint colors. In general the bronze and grey colors are similar but the others can vary and may not be able to be matched.

In addition, the tint varies with the thickness and this adds further complications to color matching.Therefore, if you want tinted glass to match it should be all one thickness and from the same supplier for best uniformity.
