Sheet & Float Glass
Also referred to as sheet glass or float glass, heavy plate glass is manufactured in a float system where molten glass is floated on a bed of molten tin then drawn out and rolled to the desired thickness in a continuous sheet.
Thicknesses can range from 1/16″ to over 1″ thick in sheets as large as 120″ high by 180″ wide. Float glass in thicknesses of 3/8″ and above are considered Heavy Plate.
Heavy Plate Glass Uses
Common uses of heavy plate glass are table tops, shelving, and decorative space dividers. When heat tempered it can be used for interior walls, shower enclosures, mall storefronts and commercial doors.
Much of the appeal of heavy plate glass in decorator items is the massive look and the wide range of edge work that is possible.
When used for walls in confined spaces like offices or inside malls, heavy plate glass can provide defined spaces with security while maintaining an open, light filled area.
