Glass, one of the oldest known building materials, has been living its golden age in the world and in our country since the last twenty years.There is no other natural and infinite-life building material that can be used instead of glass in buildings. Of course, there are many reasons why glass is so special. Float glass is produced by floating the glass melt on molten tin. Colorless float glass has a high light transmittance thanks to its transparency.
The glass blend, which is a mixture of raw materials with certain properties and quantities, mainly sand, soda and limestone, is melted in a furnace at about 1600°C. The glass melt is poured from the furnace at about 1100° into a molten tin pool and the glass is floated on the tin, ensuring that the two sides of the glass are perfectly parallel to each other, while at the same time creating the thickness and strip width of the glass. The temperature of the glass strip coming out of the tin pool uninterruptedly is reduced in a controlled manner and the stresses in the glass are removed in the cooling section. Following this, the glass is cut to the desired dimensions on the cutting line, collected in packages and made ready for shipment.
