Endless possibilities
Our float glass is the building block for all types of uses. Clear and distortion free, Guardian float glass is offered in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to suit any flat glass application. It is prized for its high light transmission, optical clarity and ability to be fabricated to meet custom performance and aesthetic needs. It can be tempered, laminated, painted, coated, silvered to produce mirrors and much more.
