Low-iron glass eliminates the greenish hue associated with regular float glass due to its decreased iron content and transmits more light and has a crystal-clear appearance.
Low-iron glass is manufactured from low-iron silica sand and has a ferric oxide content of.01 percent, compared with typical float glass which has 10x that amount.
This is significant because it allows for better colour neutrality, more natural light, and crisp edges.
