Abstract: An installation for making sheet glass comprises a fluidics support onto whic molten glass is spread to form a layer, a plate located above the support, spaced from the layer of glass thereon, and guide means for forming along the plate edges an inwardly and downwardly converging peripheral air curtain which serves to build up a pressurized air mattress between the plate and the layer. The compressive action of this mattress serves to reduce the thickness of the glass sheet to less than the equilibrium thickness that would otherwise be obtained.
