In addition to its light-enhancing properties, reflective blue glass also offers thermal insulation benefits. The reflective coating on the glass can help to reduce heat gain from direct sunlight, making it an energy-efficient choice for buildings in hot climates. This not only helps to keep indoor spaces cool and comfortable, but also reduces the need for excessive air conditioning, leading to lower energy costs.
2. Floating The molten glass is then poured onto molten tin, where it spreads out to form an even thickness. The glass floats on the tin due to its lower density, resulting in a perfectly flat surface.
