Clear float glass, named for its fabrication process, can be found in almost any home or office building. Clear glass is colorless, so it won’t distort the view outside a window or change the look of a framed painting. It can make any space brighter and feel more open and larger. Due to the prism effect glass creates, its edges appear to be green. The thicker the glass, the darker this edge appears—an important feature to remember when considering a piece of glass where the edges are exposed. Clear float glass is perfect for table tops, windows, railings for stairs, and barriers on balconies. When ordering clear glass, consider whether you will need annealed or tempered to ensure you are using the safest solution for your glass. -
Solarbronze glass has been a staple in PPG’s architectural glass offerings since the 1960s because it creates a bold visual statement while maintaining energy efficiency and occupant comfort. A popular choice for commercial structures, Solarbronze glass has a warm bronze tint that adds subtle richness to the exterior and a warm glow to interior décor. The bronze color especially complements brick and stone facades. -
This obscuring, angular texture has undeniable retro appeal. To achieve the continuous design, a ribbon of molten glass is run through two engraved steel rollers, impressing their pattern in the red hot glass surface. Pattern 516 Glass offers an attractive appearance, obscurity, and light transmission capabilities. -
Atlantica glass is the spectrally selective* emerald-green member of PPG’s Oceans of Color collection. As timeless and beautiful as the ocean for which it is named, Atlantica glass combines desirable visible light transmittance and excellent solar heat control with a pleasant green aesthetic that complements a diverse range of building materials. -
Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass is stunningly clear because it contains less than 1⁄10 of the iron present in typical clear glass, which means more light shines through. Its luxurious aesthetic will inspire you to find new and creative ways to use it. As its thickness increases, Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass gains a distinctive azure-blue edge, while the transparency of the glass remains ultra-clear, unlike typical clear glass, in which the green hue becomes more pronounced. Starphire® glass stays clear — even at thicknesses of up to 3⁄4 inch. -
Our bronze mirrors with a mastic backing have a rich bronze color without sacrificing reflectivity. They work great as accent pieces that add a pop of color and brightness to any room, and the mastic backing make it easy to install, and overall strengthen the mirror to ensure it is more durable over the course of its life. -
Sandblasted textured glass shares the same aesthetic qualities of acid etched glass, providing complete privacy while still transmitting light. Where sandblasted glass differs from acid etched is in how it is fabricated. Sandblasted glass is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass. This gives the glass a translucent surface, which is usually rougher than that obtained by etching. -
Azuria® tinted glass delivers spectrally selective performance (in thicknesses of 1/4”/6mm or greater) with a unique aqua blue appearance. Solarban 90 is a high performing MSVD advanced solar control low-e glass with the appeal of a true neutral-reflective clear glass aesthetic. Solarban 90 glass is engineered with new materials and refinements to PPG's proven triple-silver coating technology to offer architects a product that outperforms Solarban 70XL glass while balancing visible light transmittance and helping to manage glare. The coating can also be paired with, or used directly on several PPG tinted glasses in an insulating glass unit. -
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. Much like our other clear glasses, it features a flat surface with a uniform thickness that provides an unobstructed views. Laminated glass is also proficient at improving heat insulation, and insulating sound. Laminated glass should be used over tempered and annealed glass when there is the possibility for human impact, or if the glass could fall. It is also ideal for architectural applications in homes and buildings that will be receiving direct sunlight, as it is very efficient at reflecting UV rays. -
Our delta frosted patterned glass is perfect for most spaces where you want privacy. Featuring a unique raised pattern that resembles crackling, it is great for bathrooms, outdoor features, and any other space where you need privacy and want to add a little character to your room. It is similar to our delta clear glass, but with a white matte textured appearance that adds more privacy, and adds soft brightness to the room even though it allows less outside light through. -
Solexia™ tinted glass delivers spectrally selective performance (in thicknesses of 1/4”/6mm or greater) with a light green appearance. When combined with Solarcool coating it creates a bright metallic bronze appearance, modifying the color of the substrate. On the first surface it creates a mirror-like metallic surface. -
Our delta frosted bronze patterned glass is a great way to create privacy for any space, while also adding color that most other patterned and textured glass cannot provide. Featuring a unique raised pattern that resembles crackling, it is great for bathrooms, outdoor features, and any other space where you need privacy and want to add a little character to your room. It is similar to our delta clear glass, but with a white matte textured appearance that adds more privacy; and its subtle bronze tint adds a nice touch of color to any space. -

Just like our regular Clear Flemish patterned glass, our High Performance (HP) Flemish Glass offers the same pattern and texture look of hand-blown glass without the seeds and bubble for a slight distortion in clear glass. Unlike the normal flemish, our HP Flemish patterned glass is clearer, allowing more light into a space, but still providing privacy, albeit less than our normal clear flemish glass.
