Low iron glass
12mm Low Iron Glass (Ultra Clear)
Ultra clear glass without the green tint of ordinary glass.
About this glass
Low iron glass (also sold as ultra clear or Starphire) has most of the iron taken out, so it loses the green tint you see in the edge of ordinary glass. Whites stay white and colours behind it stay true. 12mm is used for large table tops, frameless balustrade-style panels and anywhere the glass must feel solid.
Tap Toughened if it needs to be safety glass. Toughened glass is about four to five times stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small blunt pieces, which is why it is required in doors, showers and low windows. It cannot be cut or drilled afterwards, so check your sizes before ordering.
Good for
- Display cabinets and shelving
- Shower screens
- Table tops over white or pale timber
- Splashbacks with colour behind

Questions
Low iron or clear?
Clear glass looks green at the edge and through thick pieces. Low iron is much whiter. The difference is most obvious at 10mm and 12mm and over white surfaces.
Is low iron glass stronger?
No. It is the same strength as clear glass of the same thickness. Toughen it for safety glass.
