https://mocomi.com/ presents: How is glass made?

GLASS MADE IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS:

1- PLATE GLASS MADE BY ROLLING:- Sand, lime and soda are heated together in a furnace to make liquid glass. Rollers are used to flatten glass into sheets, which are first cooled then cut.

2- PLATE GLASS MADE BY FLOATING:- Liquid glass from a furnace is floated and slowly cooled on the surface of liquid tin. After the glass has cooled down, it is cut into pieces.

3- HANDMADE GLASSWARE:- Vases, ornaments and other intricate glass objects are made by a glass-blower. The glass-blower uses a metal blowpipe which has a glob of hot glass at the end of it. A glass blower then blows the soft glass into shape.

GLASS HAS MANY USES - Glasses, window panes, mirrors are few of the many things that are made from glass. Glass is not only useful, but can look beautiful too. Windows made of stained glass are works of art.
