 float glass |
Flat glass is currently manufactured using the technique referred to as "floating". The glass is produced through the melting of a mixture of mineral materials in a "float" furnace. The particularity of this process is to pour the molten glass onto a surface that is perfectly flat and free of defects: a bath of molten tin. The glass thus produced is referred to as "annealed", and has practically no internal tension.
