Float glass 

Float glass is a flat glass that takes its name from the molten tin bath on which the glass ribbon obtained from the fusion of the raw materials that constitute it floats. The glass is then slowly cooled until completely hardened, then annealed. The resulting thickness is therefore uniform and has perfectly polished surfaces, ready for cutting and assembly.

We are able to offer and process all glass thicknesses available on the market, from 2 to 25 mm thick, in clear and extra clear glass.

Double glazing consists of assembling two sheets of glass using an interlayer. The space can be filled with an insulating gas (argon, krypton, or xenon). To improve the sound performance of the glazing, one of the sheets is chosen in a greater thickness or laminated using an acoustic film.

The major advantage of double glazing is the limitation of heat loss and, consequently, significant energy savings. It is the combination of space, gas and glass that will give the glazing the desired thermal properties. A distinction is thus made between simple thermal insulation and reinforced thermal insulation, which is more efficient (Ug coefficient less than 2).

Extra-thin double glazing, a variation of classic double glazing, allows the thickness of the glazing to be reduced to 10 mm. Benefiting from similar properties, it offers the advantage of integrating more easily into old windows, thanks to its fine assembly. Extra-thin double glazing with reinforced thermal insulation can be proposed in historic monument restoration projects, highlighting the authentic refinement of old windows.

Assembled in double glazing or laminated in our workshop, all our glasses can be treated to meet the requirements of modern glazing in terms of technical performance (anti-burglary protection, anti-UV, thermal and acoustic insulation).
