• Float Glass - Low-iron float glass has less iron in its composition than standard float glass. The results are glass sheets that do not have the greenish hue associated with plate glass. The material's color approaches the water-white clarity of crown glass. The sheets come in standard sizes ranging from 1/8 to 1 inch. Other thicknesses are available through custom fabrication methods.

• Microsheet - The word "mircosheet" is a generic term encompassing very thin sheet glasses of different compositions that are used primarily in electronic applications. The sheets range in thickness from approximately .005 to .045 of an inch.

• Crown Glass - Crown glass sheets have a composition which is similar to ophthalmic crowns and is also known as glass. The sheets are available in thickness ranging from 1/16 to 3/4 of an inch, included in this group is Schott's B-270 and Pilkington's Optic-white.
