When it comes to investing in a new type of glass for your home or commercial property, it’s easy to overlook the different types of glass as part of your decision. After all, glass is glass – right? Well, not entirely. In fact, there are many different types of glass on the market, and no single solution is necessarily right for every application. With this thought in mind, today, we’re taking a look at one of the most often unknown types of glass (ultra-clear glass) to help inform your decision on the right type of material for your project. After all, no matter what you might be looking for, there’s undeniably an available option that could suit your needs.
First of all, we need to clarify what ultra-clear glass is. As the name would perhaps suggest, ultra-clear glass offers far greater transparency than regular panes, making it even clearer than before. This is something that many people don’t even realize is available, but it can no doubt offer a myriad of benefits for a building’s final aesthetic and look.
The key feature of ultra-clear glass that helps make it so amazingly clear is its low-iron content. While the majority of commercially available glass only has very trace amounts of iron (around 0.1%), ultra-clear glass takes this to a new extreme, cutting iron contamination down as low as 0.01%. With this thought in mind, the iron’s discoloration level is reduced by a great degree in ultra-clear glass. This potentially offers a much greater end result for properties.
It’s not just the ability to reduce tint and discoloration that matters here, though. Indeed, in addition to making the color much more transparent (rather than tinted with green), the low-iron content allows more light to pass through the glass. In turn, this means that the glass pane, when kept clean, will usually have a much clearer and more transparent appearance.
Generally speaking, ultra-clear glass will cost quite a bit more than regular glass, so the decision between standard and premium glass shouldn’t necessarily be made lightly. In line with this, if your property’s budget is a little tight, it may be worth looking at whether or not ultra-clear glass will really be a worthwhile expense. But, with that being said, if you’re looking to establish your brand, business, or property as a premium option, it could be a worthwhile investment to really set yourself apart from the competition.
Nothing’s more frustrating than a smeared glass window – but the clarity of ultra-clear glass is truly something to behold. Indeed, this amazing design allows more light than ever before to pass through without interference, making it amazing for applications where a premium finish is needed. But, of course, there’s no simple way to decide if this is right for your project; so if you have any questions or to make an enquiry, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly experts at chandler@yuanda-glass.com.
