FLOAT
the new glass with the true clarity
Nowadays, new buildings everywhere are being glazed with FLOAT GLASS. That's because increased production has made supplies of this new Pilkington glass readily available-when and where they're wanted.
FLOAT is acknowledged to be this century's greatest advance in glassmaking techniques. Devised and developed by Pilkingtons, it was perfected after a 7-year, £4 million project. It's a glass with a brilliant fire finish-plus perfectly parallel faces which give true clarity and undis- torted vision. Today, FLOAT GLASS is avail- able in " thickness in sizes up to 98′′ x 175′′ through the usual trade channels. Always specify FLOAT for quality glazing-and be sure of getting it promptly.

HOW FLOAT IS MADE In the Float process the continuous ribbon of glass passes from the furnace to float on the surface of a molten metal at a controlled temperature. It emerges perfectly flat and distortion-free with a brilliant lustrous finish on both sides.
