The float glass process is the most common method of flat glass production in the world. This process involves pouring recycled glass, silica sand, lime, potash and soda from a furnace onto a large bed of molten tin. This mixture slowly solidifies over the molten tin as it enters the annealing oven where it travels along rollers under a controlled cooling process. From this point the glass emerges in one continuous long ribbon where it is then cut and further processed to customer specification.
