UltraClear™ glass
Low-iron glass
Float glass with very little iron. The iron in ordinary glass gives it a greenish tint, which gets stronger the thicker and larger the glass. UltraClear™ has almost none, so it is clear and neutral in colour.

Laminated glassCompared with float.
At 4 mm there is hardly any difference. The iron shows as a greenish tint on the edge of the glass and when several panes stand one behind another. The thicker the glass, the greener it is. That is why UltraClear™ is used for thick glass, balustrades and display cabinets.
