How is glass made

Almost all glass produced today in developed countries is done so by the “float process.” The glass composition materials, mainly silica sand, soda ash and limestone, are melted in a furnace and then flowed on to a bath of molten tin. The glass is formed and gradually cools as it moves from the tin bath to an annealing lehr, which is a controlled cooling chamber. As it moves through this process, the glass is in the form of a continuous ribbon, which is cut to size and packaged at the final stage.

What is curtainwall?

Curtainwall refers to the exterior covering of a building that is assembled from non-structural components, typically glass and/or aluminum. Curtainwall systems are generally more energy-efficient and long-lasting than traditional glass storefronts.
