Here’s an overview of two common types of glass: clear and low-iron.
Clear Glass: The Standard Starting Point
The most common base selection for frameless shower doors is clear glass. Standard clear glass has a slight greenish tint, which becomes noticeable especially when viewed from the edge or against light-colored tiles. This tint is due to the iron content in the glass.
Low-Iron Glass: A Cleaner, Truer Look
If you’re using lighter tiles or want to ensure your tile colors show through clearly, low-iron glass may be a better option. This type of glass has reduced iron content, eliminating the greenish hue and allowing for a brighter, more accurate view of your shower's interior. It's ideal for those seeking a crisp, clean aesthetic.
