White float windows Float glass windows are a cheap source as a protective element between two environments. They are cut from sheet glass that is relatively flat and parallel for most purposes. As no polishing is required they are cost effective. Float glass is now listed down to 1.1mm thick (thinner to order) and the 'white' grade used for the thicker windows has much less green coloration than common soda float glass. Polished grade (λ/2) White Float Window is also listed for more precision applications. AR-coated windows are also listed for improved efficiency; the single-sided type can be used for laminating. Also listed are Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated windows which is used for displays, electric heating, EMI shielding etc.
