Different descriptions of glass that we like to use.
Low-Iron glass is the clearest glass on the market today. Low-iron glass is produced through a special process in which the iron particles are removed from the glass. The iron particles are what give regular glass a greenish tint. Removing these particles results in an ultra-clear glass for a premium upgrade to standard glass.
Clear
Known as standard glass to most. Typically used for windows, tabletops, mirrors and shower enclosures etc. This glass has a slight green tint more noticeable with thicker glass.
Low Iron
Or known as Starphire. Low-Iron glass is the clearest glass on the market today. Low-iron glass is produced through a special process in which the iron particles are removed from the glass. The iron particles are what give regular glass a greenish tint. Removing these particles results in an ultra-clear glass for a premium upgrade to standard glass.
Frosted
For privacy, sandblasted or acid-etched clear sheet glass. This creates a pitted surface one side of the glass pane and has the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering the light which passes through, thus blurring the image but still transmitting light. Typically it has 10-20% opacity.
Colored Glass
Generally used for architectural projects, entertainment lighting and landscape lighting, the soda-lime or borofloat based glass can be heat strengthened for additional resistance to thermal shock.

I.G.U.
Insulating glass units, or IGUs, are designed to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. An insulating glass unit commonly consists of two (sometimes more) panes of glass separated by a spacer material and sealed together at the edge.
