Sheet Glass
Sheet glass is a clear transparent glass which has a smooth surface that is different from
float type due to the lack of tin in its production process, but the applications are similar. This type pf glass, produced by Libbey Owens process, is the result of a continuous and vertical
draw of the molten glass with a certain thickness and both surfaces finished by flame.

Introduction
Sheet Glass
- Since first half of the 20th Century, sheet glass has been made by rolling or drawing. Rolling involves passing molten glass from a tank furnace over a refractory lip and between rollers. In contrast, drawing involves dipping a metal plate into a bath of molten glass and slowly withdrawing it – the glass is passed between two coolers to stop it necking down to a ribbon. There were three types of drawing that, by the mid-1900s, were responsible for the entire global production of flat glass: Fourcault, Pittsburgh and Libbey-Owens.
