Float glass, also known as window glass, is a smooth and distortion-free material used in smaller windows of houses. It is manufactured by melting recycled glass, silica sand, lime, potash, and soda in a furnace and floating them over a bed of molten metal tin. It allows high light transmission and a crystal-clear view and offers resistance to scratch and high temperatures. It can also withstand the adverse effect of the chemical reaction under unfavorable environmental conditions or acidic effects. As a result, float glass is considered an excellent alternative to ordinary glass in residential and commercial structures. It also enhances the aesthetic and functional appeal of the structure by allowing natural light to penetrate deeper within the building.
The growing global population and inflating income levels of individuals are leading to the rising need for modern residential and commercial infrastructures, which represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for float glass across the globe. In addition, as float glass has the ability to handle pressure from external factors, it is gaining immense traction in manufacturing automobile windshields that can bend slightly under impact and reduce the risk of injury to the passengers and driver. Furthermore, the rising trend of using float glass in the solar industry to provide long-term protection against environmental factors is contributing to market growth. Increasing investments by leading players in various research and development (R&D) activities to introduce transparent, low iron float glass with high solar transmittance, improved energy conversion rate, and enhanced performance are anticipated to drive the market.
