Clear Vs. Low-Iron Glass "What's The Difference?"

Clear Tempered glass is the standard across the industry. It starts as a soda-lime based annealed glass that is then cooked in an oven at over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and then quickly cooled using high-pressure blasts of air. This strengthens the glass to over 4x that of regular annealed glass. For example, this is the type of glass found in your car. Although Classified as “Clear” You can spot tempered glass by it’s green hue.
Low-Iron glass is ultra clear and removes the green coloring that is found in regular Clear tempered glass. This is done by utilizing a silica based formula free of iron oxides that remove the impurities found in clear glass. This allows light transmission to be anywhere from 90-96%. These properties make it the go-to for Luxury Showers, Storefronts, Aquariums, and Display Cases. The Hi-definition properties accentuate whatever is presented behind it. Looks wonderful with White and Black tile for example.
