Tinted Float Glass- Color Float Glass

1. Tinted or heat absorbing glasses are 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. 
2. Addition of color like bronze, golden, pink etc 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. 
3. Tinted glass reduces solar transmittance by absorbing a large proportion of the solar energy the majority of which is control and energy reduction. 
4. Our comprehensive range of soft natural colors compliments modern building materials to provide an exciting and different look to new and exiting buildings. 
5. Rider's tinted float standard production width 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. 
6. 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.
