Tinted Float Glass

It is basic float glass that has been coloured by the addition of metal oxides into molten glass. Body tinted glass possesses filtering properties that help reduce eye strain due to the dazzling effects of sun glare. Its absorption properties help diminish energy transmissions through glass when exposed to strong sunlight. Variations in the thickness of the glass would yield different performance in terms of light and solar transmission. Although darker shades reduce the amount of heat being transmitted to the interiors, they also reduce the amount of daylight being transmitted at the same time.
