Float glass replaced plate glass because it was so free of distortion and perfectly uniform in thickness. This was achieved by pouring molten glass over molten metal and letting it cool as it floats. Plate glass has gone the way of the sheet glass and can only be found in wreckers‘ yards if you are in the marâ€" ket in an older home with preâ€"1850s windows. Plate glass came next and provided thicker glass for greater strength that was actually rolled out flat while still molten, cooled and then ground to a smooth polish. It came in only two thicknesses, 3/32 inch and 1/8 inch, named single strength and double strength, or single and double diamond. (Con‘t from RE 27) the swirls and bubbles found in the hand made glass panes, but still plenty of distortion caused by the slightly varying thicknesses of drawn glass. Glass comes in many varieties C.G. INVIDIATA A.B. CAIRNS BUILT JOSHUA CREEK 1 O)1AÂ¥ADED WITH EXTRAS Oversized pie shaped lot with inground pool and professionally landscaped.

It is not any stronger than glass of the same thicknes$s but when it does break the pieces are held fast to the plastic so they present no danger to the A special form of safety glass, called laminated glass, is used in car windshields. A sheet of plastic is sandâ€" wiched under heat and pressure between two layers of glass. It is also called safety glass because the tension that is released if the glass is struck hard enough to break will cause it to self destruct into small fragâ€" ments which are not as difficult or dangerous to handle as the shards of float glass. Sheets are heated to a high temperaâ€" ture and then cooled rapidly, causing the outer surfaces to cool and comâ€" press while the inner core remains warm and under tension. To obtain greater strength, tempered glass was developed. It is four times stronger than float glass from which it is actually made. 395 BARCLAY CRFS OAKVILLE, ONT. 49 FORSYTHE ST.
