Gaining clarity on mirrored glass with low vs regular iron
While low iron in the human body is something to be concerned about, low iron glass is often desired, because it provides more of a crystal-clear look than regular glass.
Glass primarily comes from silica sand, which is heated into a liquid and then turns into glass when it cools. As a result of the iron in silica, glass can have a greenish tint to it, which is more noticeable on thicker pieces. While this tint is not always that obvious nor unwanted—iron could even be added to create a different look—some people want glass that is exceptionally clear, such as for a display case or a mirror. In order to achieve this clarity, some glass is made from silica that has been processed in a way that reduces iron levels. Thus, low iron glass comes from low iron silica, and the absence of iron creates greater clarity. Ideoli manufactures both low-iron glass and regular-iron glass products, so our clients can choose what works best for their specific design and budget parameters. Understanding the difference between low iron and regular iron can help clients select the perfect product, and ideoli is there to procure and manufacture custom glass products to meet its clients’ needs.
