Tinted Float Glass

12 mm Grey Float

Tinted Float Glass is a type of architectural glass that is manufactured using the standard float glass process, with metal oxides added during production to create a consistent colour throughout the glass. This colouring process produces glass panels that not only enhance visual appearance but also help reduce glare, heat, and sunlight entering a building.

Common colours of tinted float glass include grey, bronze, green, and blue, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings where aesthetics and solar control are important.

Tinted float glass works by absorbing a portion of solar energy, which helps reduce heat transmission through windows. This can improve indoor comfort and contribute to energy efficiency by lowering the demand for air conditioning. At the same time, it allows natural light to pass through while reducing brightness and glare.

Tinted float glass is available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 4mm to 12mm, and can be further processed into toughened (tempered) glass, laminated glass, double glazing units, and insulated glass panels.

Common Applications

• Windows and window replacements

• Glass facades and curtain walls

• Glass doors and partitions

• Balustrades and pool fencing

• Skylights and shopfronts

Because of its balance of aesthetic appeal, solar control, and versatility, tinted float glass is widely used in modern architecture across residential homes, offices, and commercial buildings.
