Clear Glass

Clear glass, as the name suggests, is transparent and allows light to pass through without distortion, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It is manufactured through a meticulous process of melting and refining sand, soda ash, and limestone at high temperatures. The resulting molten mixture is then floated on molten tin to create a flat and uniform surface.

One of the primary advantages of clear glass is its versatility. It serves as a fundamental building material in architecture, providing unobstructed views while also allowing natural light to illuminate interior spaces. Additionally, clear glass finds extensive use in the manufacturing of windows, doors, skylights, and glass facades, enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of residential, commercial, and industrial structures.

At Bespoke Glass, we use clear glass for balustrades, windows, room dividers, tabletop covers, chopping boards and more. Moreover, clear glass is recyclable, contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing environmental impact.

In summary, clear glass stands as a cornerstone material in numerous industries, prized for its transparency, durability, and diverse applications. Whether in modern kitchens or everyday consumer products, clear glass continues to play an essential role in shaping the world around us.

Low Iron Glass

Low-iron glass, also known as ultra-clear glass, is a specialised type of glass engineered to minimise the greenish tint inherent in standard clear glass. This is achieved by reducing the iron content in the raw materials used during manufacturing, resulting in a product with exceptional clarity and colour neutrality.

The production process for low-iron glass involves melting high-quality silica sand with minimal iron oxide impurities, along with other raw materials. By carefully controlling the composition and refining techniques, manufacturers are able to create a glass substrate that offers unparalleled transparency and optical purity.

One of the key advantages of low-iron glass is its ability to faithfully transmit colours without distortion, making it an ideal choice for applications where true colour representation is critical. This includes architectural installations such as glass facades, storefronts, and high-end windows, where the glass's clarity enhances the visual appeal of the structure and allows for unobstructed views of the surroundings. For us, it's perfect for getting as close to those lighter colours that might be distorted by the green tint in clear glass, such as whites and light greys.

In summary, low-iron glass represents a pinnacle of glass technology, offering unmatched clarity, colour fidelity, and aesthetic appeal. Its ability to eliminate the greenish hue found in standard clear glass makes it a versatile and sought-after material in a wide range of applications, where precision and visual excellence are paramount.
