Heavy Plate Glass

Sheet & Float Glass

Also referred to as sheet glass or float glass, heavy plate glass is manufactured in a float system where molten glass is floated on a bed of molten tin then drawn out and rolled to the desired thickness in a continuous sheet. Thicknesses can range from 1/16" to over 1" thick in sheets as large as 120" high by 180" wide. Float glass in thicknesses of 3/8" and above are considered Heavy Plate. Watch this short video on how glass is made.

Applications

Common uses of heavy plate glass are table tops, shelving and decorative space dividers. When heat tempered it can be used for interior walls, shower enclosures, mall storefronts and commercial doors. Much of the appeal of heavy plate glass in decorator items is the massive look and the wide range of edge work that is possible. When used for walls in confined spaces like offices or inside malls, heavy plate glass can provide defined spaces with security while maintaining an open, light filled area.

What Our Customers Say

Last week we had to have our windshield replaced on our Honda CRV. Our insurance company recommended Best Glass. A few days after you completed the job I noticed a little plastic cover missing that covers the bolt holding the molding on. I called your office and Mary was very friendly and professional. She said she would have Mike call me ASAP. He called within a few minutes and was at my house within an hour. He didn't point fingers in any way, just guaranteed that he would take care of it. He thought he might have to replace the whole molding. He said he would check it out and get back to me. Within half an hour he was back at my door with the brand new part, snapped it on the molding and was off again. What a nice guy!! I couldn't ask for better service. Thanks to all at Best Glass. Will definitely recommend you to all I know.
