There is a widespread misconception that clear glass is the most transparent option, but in reality, this is not entirely accurate. While clear glass does not have a significantly high iron content, it does contain more iron compared to low-iron glass. As the glass thickness increases, these higher iron levels can result in a greenish tint, which becomes more noticeable. This tint is caused by the natural presence of iron oxide from elements like sand, or from the melting container or cask during the glass production process.
· Seawin’s low-iron glass, also known as ultra-clear glass, is made with reduced iron content compared to regular glass, which gives it a higher level of transparency and clarity. Low-iron glass allows for true-to-color and distortion-free viewing, making it an ideal choice for applications where aesthetics and visual appeal are important, such as in luxury bathrooms or high-end shower enclosures.
· Seawin’s low-iron glass, is made with higher quality silica and has fewer impurities, making it more resistant to corrosion and staining. Low-iron glass also tends to have a higher impact resistance and is less prone to chipping or cracking compared to regular glass.
In conclusion, low iron glass offers superior clarity, color accuracy, and durability compared to regular glass, making it a popular choice for high-end shower doors where aesthetics and quality are important considerations.
