DISCOVER THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE
REGULAR VS LOW IRON GLASS

Regular Clear Glass And Low Iron Glass

Regular Clear Glass And Low Iron Glass

The difference between clear glass and low-iron glass is the greater transparency, which makes it more ideal for certain applications. While “clear” is in its name, clear glass is not the clearest type you can get. Although clear glass does not have substantially high iron content, it is higher than low-iron glass. Due to this higher iron content, clear glass has a greenish tint. Float glass manufacturers create low-iron glass, also known as extra-clear glass, by reducing the amount of iron in the molten glass formula. This type is more transparent than regular glass, and doesn't have that greenish tint. In fact, modifying the iron content can increase the light transparency by 5 to 6 percent. When used in interior walls, low-iron glass also increases the flow of natural light. According to architecture and interior design trade magazine Architectural Record: “Due to its composition, low-iron glass can transmit up to 91 percent of light compared to the 83 percent associated with conventional clear glass, allowing it to be used in a variety of different applications.” With all that being said low iron glass is more costly than the regular clear glass about 45 percent. Low Iron glass is a great product for any type of project like bathroom remodel or any type of glass shower enclosures or glass wall or display to back painted glass. If you wanna go high end with your frameless shower door project and the best quality this is the right product for you.

Benefits of Low Iron Glass

Low-iron glass services offer several benefits over regular clear glass services. Some of the key benefits of low-iron glass services include the following:

  • Enhanced Clarity:  Low-iron glass has a higher light transmission and less color distortion than regular clear glass. This makes it ideal for applications where a high level of transparency and clarity is required, such as display cases, aquariums, and architectural glass installations.
  • Increased Design Flexibility: Low-iron glass services allow for greater design flexibility as they can create large, seamless glass surfaces without the greenish tint often visible in regular clear glass. This makes it ideal for use in modern, minimalist design aesthetics.
  • Improved Aesthetics:  Low-iron glass provides a more esthetically pleasing appearance as it is crystal-clear without the greenish tint often visible in regular clear glass. This makes it a great option for upscale homes and businesses that place a premium on design.
  • Better Energy Efficiency:  Low-iron glass can also help improve energy efficiency by allowing more natural light to enter a building. This reduces the need for artificial lighting, which can help reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
  • Increased Durability:  Low-iron glass can also be tempered, laminated, or otherwise treated to improve its durability and safety, making it less likely to break or shatter in the event of an impact or accident.
