If you’ve always wondered how plate glass was made, then check out this interesting “How it’s Made” segment, which shows the process from start to finish. Video after the jump.
Glass is a uniform amorphous solid material, usually produced when the viscous molten material cools very rapidly to below its glass transition temperature, without sufficient time for a regular crystal lattice to form. The most familiar form of glass is the Silica-based material used for windows, containers and decorative objects
