Customization & Secondary Processing
To meet diverse architectural, commercial, and industrial requirements, Aohong Glass provides comprehensive customization and value-added secondary processing services.
Precision Cutting & Dimensioning:
Advanced computer-controlled cutting lines enable precise sizing tailored to exact architectural drawings, window frames, and container-loading optimization plans.
Edge Work & Polishing:
Professional edge treatment options include seam edge, flat grind, pencil polish, beveled edge, and mitered cuts for exposed or decorative applications.
Hole Drilling & Cutouts:
Accurate CNC water-jet and mechanical drilling for hinges, locks, handles, notches, and electrical cutouts required in doors, partitions, and equipment covers.
Deep Processing Compatibility:
Our base float glass is fully optimized for thermal tempering, chemical strengthening, PVB/EVA lamination, and high-performance Low-E or solar control coating lines.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Aohong Glass operates a strictly monitored, continuous float glass production line, ensuring absolute consistency and reliability across high-volume bulk orders and long-term supply contracts.
High-Purity Batching
Raw materials—including high-grade silica sand, soda ash, dolomite, and limestone—are precisely weighed and blended to maintain chemical stability and clarity.
Melting & Controlled Float Forming
Materials are melted at ultra-high temperatures and poured onto a precision-controlled molten tin bath, utilizing gravity and surface tension to form a naturally fire-polished, flat surface.
Thermal Annealing
The ribbon passes through a specialized annealing lehr, undergoing controlled cooling to eliminate internal thermal stresses and ensure optimal mechanical strength for subsequent cutting and tempering.
Multi-Point Quality Inspection
Thickness & Dimensional Tolerance: Automated laser scanners measure thickness consistency and diagonal squareness. Surface & Optical Integrity: Strict checks eliminate bubbles, inclusions, optical distortion, and surface scratches.
Secure Export Packaging
Finished glass sheets are interleaved with high-grade anti-scratch powder or cork pads, wrapped in moisture-resistant film, and packed into heavy-duty, fumigated wooden crates secured with steel banding for ocean freight.
Primary Applications
Our clear float glass serves as a foundational material across multiple global industries due to its high optical transmission, clean aesthetic, and structural adaptability:
Architectural & Construction
Utilized in residential and commercial windows, sliding doors, storefronts, structural glass curtain walls, high-rise facades, and interior office partitions.
Interior Design & Furniture
Applied in custom glass tabletops, shelving, display cabinet panels, frameless shower enclosures, bathroom mirrors, and decorative wall claddings.
Industrial & OEM Components
Configured as protective covers for industrial machinery, instrument panels, electronic appliances, and specialized glazing systems.
Solar & Specialty Glazing
Deployed as reliable substrate material for solar panel components, greenhouse structures, and secondary processing applications.
