Clear float glass, named for its fabrication process, can be found in almost any home or office building. Clear glass is colorless, so it won’t distort the view outside a window or change the look of a framed painting. It can make any space brighter and feel more open and larger. Due to the prism effect glass creates, its edges appear to be green. The thicker the glass, the darker this edge appears—an important feature to remember when considering a piece of glass where the edges are exposed. Clear float glass is perfect for table tops, windows, railings for stairs, and barriers on balconies. When ordering clear glass, consider whether you will need annealed or tempered to ensure you are using the safest solution for your glass. -

Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass is stunningly clear because it contains less than 1⁄10 of the iron present in typical clear glass, which means more light shines through. Its luxurious aesthetic will inspire you to find new and creative ways to use it. As its thickness increases, Starphire Ultra-Clear™ glass gains a distinctive azure-blue edge, while the transparency of the glass remains ultra-clear, unlike typical clear glass, in which the green hue becomes more pronounced. Starphire® glass stays clear — even at thicknesses of up to 3⁄4 inch.
