Differences between clear float glass and reflective glass

Glass is a kind of decorative material that is widely used in our daily life, different materials of glass are suitable for different places, such as clear float glass is generally used to make windows, doors etc., and conductive film glass is generally used to do liquid crystal display, heating, defrosting and other functions. Let's take a look at the differences between reflective glass and clear float glass.

1.Reflective glass is to coated one or more layers of metal, alloy or metal compound film on the surface of clear float glass, but there is no excess film on the surface of clear float glass.

2. clear float glass is generally transparent or slightly green, while reflective glass can be different colors, such as silver, gray, green, blue, brown and so on.

3.Reflective glass has the effect of changing the optical properties of glass, and clear float glass does not have this effect. Reflective glass can meet certain specific requirements, but clear float glass can only meet the requirements of light blocking and light transmission.

4. Some reflective glass can have the function of thermal insulation, which can reduce the heat brought by the incidence of summer sunlight, and also prevent the loss of indoor temperature. While clear float glass does not have this thermal insulation function.

5. Some reflective glass can have bulletproof, explosion-proof, fireproof and other safety properties, clear float glass does not have this performance.

6.Reflective glass is more expensive than clear float glass. This is because reflective glass requires the support of coating equipment and technology, and the production process is more complex, requiring more human and material costs.
