Lasilevyä

Lasilevyä is a Finnish term that translates to "glass plate" or "glass sheet" in English. It refers to a flat, rigid piece of glass. These can vary greatly in size, thickness, and type of glass depending on their intended use. Common examples include window panes, mirrors, tabletops, and protective covers for electronic displays. The manufacturing process involves melting sand, soda ash, and limestone at high temperatures and then forming the molten glass into flat sheets through various methods, such as floating on molten metal or rolling. The properties of lasilevyä, such as transparency, durability, and resistance to chemicals, make it a versatile material for a wide range of applications in construction, furniture, and technology. Specialized types of lasilevyä can also be produced, such as tempered glass for increased strength or laminated glass for safety, where multiple layers are bonded together.
