Tinted Float Glass

☆ Tinted float glass (heat absorbing glass) is produced by the float process with the addition of small quantities
     of metal oxides to color the normal clear glass mix. This coloration is achieved through adding metal oxides
     at the smelting stage.
☆ Addition of color does not affect the basic properties of the glass, even though visible light reflectance will
     be slightly higher than clear glass. The color density increases with thickness, whereas the visible transmittance
     decreases correspondingly as thickness increases.
☆ Tinted float glass reduces solar transmittance by absorbing a large proportion of the solar energy the majority
     of which is control and energy reduction.
☆ Our comprehensive range of soft natural colors compliments modern building materials to provide an exciting
     and different look to new and exiting buildings.
☆ Rider’s tinted standard production thickness includes 4, 5, 6mm, but is not limited to 8, 10, 12mm which we
     produce in many colors. Non-standard thickness can also be produced to order on request.
☆ Our range of vibrant colors, excellent performance characteristics and post-production treatment possibilities,
     all make Rider tinted float glass the ideal choice for architects in any new construction or renovation project.
☆ Tinted float glass is distortion-free, precision flat and transparent glass. It is manufactured by floating a ribbon
     of molten glass over a bath of molten metal. The ribbon is gradually cooled in an annealing lehr, and then
     washed and cut into the desired sizes.

☆ Energy saving through good heat absorption which reduce the transmission of solar heat radiation
☆ High value creation by color variety of building’s exterior appearance
☆ Substrate for each level of glass processing

☆ External use of windows, doors, shopfronts in offices, houses, shops etc.
☆ Interior glass screens, partitions, balustrades etc.
☆ Shop display windows, showcases, display shelves etc.
☆ Furniture, table-tops, picture frames etc.
