Glass/Mirror Info

Clear – Clear glass is not actually optically clear, that is, without tint.  There is a slight greenish tint to “clear” glass. All glass thicknesses are made using the same materials.  The thicker the glass, the darker this effect will become.

Smoked – In opposition to clear glass, “smoked” implies tinted or not clear.  Tinted glass comes in a few shades, with bronze and grey being the most common. 

Bronze – Brownish tint. Can be mirrored to create bronze mirror.

Grey – Grey tint. Can be mirrored to create grey mirror.

Black – Extremely dark grey tint.  This glass can be mirrored to create black mirror.

Low-Iron Glass – This makes the glass have less green tint than normal clear glass. LESS green tint! NOT implying that the glass has no tint at all. The larger a piece of glass gets the darker the tint will become. Starphire^® is a brand name of low-iron glass.
