4. Cutting and Finishing Once cooled, the glass is cut to size and can undergo additional treatments such as tempering or lamination to enhance its properties further.

Glass only has a decorative role, and crystal in addition to the decorative role, there are piezoelectric effects and some special roles.

Moreover, acid etched glass is an eco-friendly option when compared to other materials.

This durability makes it a sustainable choice for modern design, as it contributes to reducing environmental waste.

(3) Light: Natural crystal vertically placed in the sun, no matter from which Angle it can release beautiful brilliance. Fake crystals don't.

4. Ease of Processing 4mm float glass is easily cut, tempered, and laminated, allowing for further customization based on project requirements. This adaptability enables manufacturers and builders to meet specific design needs with efficiency.

In the automotive industry, transparent float glass is essential for windshields, side windows, and rear windows. Its clarity and strength ensure the safety and comfort of passengers while enhancing the overall appearance of vehicles. The use of laminated and tempered variations of float glass in vehicles adds an extra layer of safety, preventing shattering and increasing impact resistance.
