The paper contains an analysis of the literature data on modification of the surface of sheet glass in order to impart heat-shielding, conducting, hydrophobic, x-ray-shielding, decorative, and other properties to glass. Various industrial and scientific entities engaged in production and development of modifying coatings are described. A classification of film coatings is offered, and the main production methods are considered. The effect of various factors on film coatings is analyzed.
