what is the difference between clear float glass and low Iron glass?

Jun 13, 2023

Clear float glass is a type of glass that is made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin. This process creates a flat and uniform surface that is free of distortion. Clear float glass is commonly used in windows, doors, and other architectural applications.

 

Low iron glass, on the other hand, is a type of glass that is made with reduced iron content. This results in a glass that is much clearer and more transparent than regular float glass. Low iron glass is often used in applications where clarity and color accuracy are important, such as in aquariums, display cases, and high-end architectural projects.

 

In summary, the main difference between clear float glass and low iron glass is their level of clarity and transparency. Clear float glass is a standard glass with a slight greenish tint, while low iron glass is much clearer and more transparent.
