Ultra-Clear Low Iron Glass vs Standard Clear Glass

Not all glass is created equal.

Most people do not understand that there are different qualities of glass. There are different thicknesses, densities, textures, and clarity that distinguish one type of glass from another.

But clear is clear, right? Wrong.

Glass is made up of many different ingredients based upon the desired result. The main ingredient used to make glass is silica (sand) and depending on what type is used and where it is from, the chemical makeup of it will differ. In standard glass the silica typically contains a higher iron content which gives off a green pigment. For the most part this pigment is not noticed however the edges will have a very noticeable green tone, especially in thicker glass. To give you the best result with a true to view look and beautiful frameless glass enclosure results, we use high end low iron glass that does not contain the green pigment. The difference is clear as you can see in our visual examples above.

Show off tile, tub, and fixtures with ShowerGuard UltraClear in your shower enclosure. Utilizing ultra-clear glass for a stunning effect, ShowerGuard UltraClear neutralizes the green cast of standard glass for a crystal clear result that lets the design and color of your bathroom shine through. This glass loves natural light and visually opens your space like no other.

 With its ultra-clear edges, ShowerGuard UltraClear is ideal for clear, frameless shower enclosures. It is available in 3/8″ and 1/2″ thicknesses. Please view actual glass size and thickness for accurate edge color. Have a question about the difference? No problem. Be sure to ask one of our experts at Damon Glass for a demonstration on the difference between Ultra-Clear Low Iron Glass and Standard Clear Glass.
