When customers browse premium bathroom furniture at Ace Decor, one common question we often receive is: "Is your glass door ultra clear?"
So, in this blog, we're delving deep into everything you must know about ultra clear glass doors – the pros, how they differ from standard glass, how they're made, where they can be used, and why Ace Decor is your go-to provider of premium bathroom luxury.
What Is Ultra Clear Glass?
Ultra clear glass, or low-iron glass, has much less iron and is different from the regular glass we see. This decrease in iron yields a glass that is surprisingly clear, lacking the greenish hue characteristic of common glass.
Ultra clear glass is the most preferred choice of material in contemporary bathroom design as it imparts a brighter, cleaner and more refined look. It enables the real beauty of your tiles, fixtures, and decor to come to life with no distortion.
How Ultra Clear Glass Is Made
Ultra clear glass is manufactured by method of:
- Choosing pure silica sand: The purchased raw material has low iron content and the trace of other impurities.
- Melted and molded with care: Clear, non-cloudy liqueur.
- Quenching: Heat-treated for increased strength and safety.
- Polish and coat: Optional protective coatings are available to extend the life of the material and protect against staining.
| Step | Process Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | High-purity raw materials selection |
| 2 | Low-iron melting process |
| 3 | Controlled forming for uniform clarity |
| 4 | Tempering for enhanced strength |
| 5 | Surface treatment for stain resistance |
Ultra Clear Glass vs Standard Glass: What is the difference?
| Feature | Standard Glass | Ultra Clear Glass |
|---|---|---|
| Color Tint | Greenish | Crystal-clear |
| Light Transmission | 80-85% | 90-91% |
| Visual Appearance | Slight distortion | True color representation |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
