DescriptionFloat glass is the most commonly used flat glass and the base material for glass processing operations. It is produced by floating molten glass on a bath to obtain a flat, uniform sheet. The process was developed in England by Pilkington in the 1960s. Infiniglass performs cut-to-size services in its workshops in Toulon and Cannes. For framers and framing shops, Infiniglass delivers weekly between Aix-Marseille and Monaco.
