Abstract

A float glass sheet having a boron- and lithium-free glass composition comprising the following in weight percentage, expressed with respect to the total weight of glass: 65≤SiO 2 ≤78% 5≤Na 2 O≤20% 1≤K 2 O<8% 1≤Al 2 O 3 <6% 2≤CaO<10% 0≤MgO≤8%; K 2 O/(K 2 O+Na 2 O) ratio which is from 0.1 to 0.7; wherein the glass sheet has: 0.01 <  ( Na 2 ⁢ O ) air ( Na 2 ⁢ O ) tin - 1.03  ≤ 3. The glass sheet may be a chemically-temperable soda-silica type glass composition suitable for mass production that shows reduced or controlled increased warping effect.
