Product Description

​Tinted Float Glass – Overview​

Tinted float glass is a type of clear float glass infused with colorants during production to reduce solar heat gain, enhance aesthetics, and provide privacy while maintaining transparency.


​Key Features:​

  1. ​Solar Control​​ – Reduces glare and heat transmission (compared to clear glass) by absorbing or reflecting infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) rays.

  2. ​Tinting Options​​ – Common colors:

    • ​Bronze/Gray​​ (neutral, reduces brightness)

    • ​Blue/Green​​ (aesthetic appeal, moderate heat reduction)

    • ​Dark Blue/Black​​ (higher absorption, privacy)

  3. ​Light Transmission​​ – Varies by shade (typically ​​14% to 75% visible light transmission​​).

  4. ​Thickness Range​​ – Usually ​​3mm to 12mm​​, with standard sizes similar to clear float glass.

  5. ​UV Protection​​ – Blocks ​​~30–50% of UV rays​​, protecting interiors from fading.


​Applications:​

✔ ​​Facades & Curtain Walls​​ – Enhances building aesthetics while improving energy efficiency.

✔ ​​Windows & Doors​​ – Reduces cooling costs in hot climates.

✔ ​​Automotive Glass​​ – Side/rear windows (often laminated for safety).

✔ ​​Partitions & Skylights​​ – Balances natural light with privacy.

✔ ​​Decorative Glass​​ – Used in furniture, shelves, and interior design.


​Advantages:​

  • ​Energy Efficiency​​ – Lowers solar heat gain, reducing AC loads.

  • ​Aesthetic Flexibility​​ – Multiple colors complement architectural designs.

  • ​Glare Reduction​​ – Improves comfort in offices and homes.

  • ​Cost-Effective​​ – More affordable than coated reflective glass.


​Limitations:​

  • ​Lower Visible Light​​ – Darker tints may require artificial lighting.

  • ​Heat Absorption​​ – Can get warm (risk of thermal stress if not tempered in large panels).

  • ​Not a Safety Glass​​ – Must be tempered or laminated for impact resistance.


​Comparison with Clear Float Glass:​

Property

​Light Transmission​ 14–75% ~90%
​UV Blocking​ Moderate (30–50%) Minimal (<25%)
​Aesthetics​ Colored options Fully transparent

​Standards & Certifications:​

  • ​EN 572 (Europe), ASTM C1036 (USA)​​ – Quality standards.

  • ​Energy Star/LEED Compliance​​ – Some tints qualify for green building credits.


​Popular Manufacturers & Brands:​
