When tinted float glass is used, depending on the thickness and colour chosen, the ingress of solar radiation into the building will be reduced,thereby making the interior more comfortable than it would have been if clear float glass had been used. Refer to the Tinted Float performance chart.
Safety
Float Glass is available in clear or tinted, ie. bronze, grey or green, in various thicknesses. The colour density obviously changes as the thickness either increases or decreases, due to the colour being within the actual body of the glass for the various thicknesses available.
Solar Control
Monolithic float glass is not safety glass but may be toughened or laminated so as to allow it to comply with the national building regulations.
Fire Retardation
Monolithic float glass offers no security from a breaking and entering scenario.
Sound control
Monolithic float glass has no fire rating
Security
Transparent Float Glass
All glass supplied by AGI is manufactured utilising the float process, thereby ensuring the best optical quality glass commercially available.
