One of the most prominent uses of float glass is in architecture. It serves as a primary material for windows, facades, and partition walls in residential and commercial buildings. Due to its clarity and smoothness, float glass effectively allows natural light to enter spaces while providing an unobstructed view of the outside world. Architects and designers often prefer float glass because it can be used in large sheets, minimizing the number of seams and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of a structure.

Around the first year of the AD, due to the promotion of the Romans and their strict production process, glass achieved great success. Glassblowing (a technique brought to Rome from Syria) enabled artisans (often slaves) to make glass cups and bowls much faster than before. Cheap glasses began to appear on the market. Soon, the popularity of glass among ordinary Romans rivaled that of ceramics. Artists began experimenting with richer forms of art with glass, creating Rose Janus face vases and wine bottles decorated with scenes of nativity. Builders began to use glass for Windows, but because the glass was cloudy and heavy, the purpose was not so much for lighting as for safety and insulation. We find traces of glass Windows throughout Rome and surrounding cities, including luxurious tiles and well-preserved bathhouses in Pompeii.
