sheet glass

Flat transparent panel

Sheet glass is flat glass produced in large, thin panels for windows, mirrors, and similar applications.

The term distinguishes it from shaped or molded glass.

Modern sheet glass is typically made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin, producing uniform thickness and smooth surfaces: The old windows still had their original sheet glass.
