Available Thicknesses
The thicker standard glass gets, the greener it looks. With Extra Clear Low Iron glass, you can choose heavy-duty thicknesses while retaining brilliant, crystal-clear transparency.
1/8″ Thick
Perfect for high-end picture framing and small cabinet doors where maximum light transmission is key.
1/4″ Thick
Ideal for standard protective table covers, display shelving, and custom interior decorative panels.
3/8″ Thick
A heavy-duty option favored for frameless shower doors, heavy glass tabletops, and commercial displays.
1/2″ Thick
Maximum thickness for standalone frameless desks, architectural walls, and premium aquariums without the dark edge.
Available Glass Edges
Flat Polished Edge
A clean, machine-polished edge. With extra clear glass, this edge will appear bright and icy-blue/clear, completely avoiding the dark black/green edge seen on thick standard glass.
Beveled Polished Edge
A masterfully angled cut along the perimeter. This framing effect looks incredibly elegant on extra clear tabletops and decorative mirrors.
Extra Options & Customizations
Every project is unique. We provide precision radius corners, cutouts, and drilled holes so your starphire low iron glass is entirely installation-ready upon arrival.
Precision CNC Fabrication
Important Note: If you select tempered glass, it cannot be cut, altered, or drilled after production. All custom requirements must be mapped out beforehand.
Precision drilled openings (from 5mm to 50mm) to seamlessly accommodate hinges, standoffs, or specialized display hardware.
Smoothly curved corners, highly recommended for low iron glass tabletops to prevent sharp, dangerous edges.
Intricate edge-notching allowing your glass to flawlessly wrap around unique custom frames or structural obstacles.
How To Measure
A flawless project starts with precise measurements. Follow our guide below to ensure your extra clear glass fits effortlessly into its frame or atop your furniture.
Use a Metal Tape Measure
Never use flexible cloth tapes. Always ensure your rigid metal tape is held perfectly straight and taut across the surface.
Frame Tolerances
If fitting the glass inside a tight frame, manually deduct a 2mm–3mm (1/8") tolerance so the pane slots in easily without cracking.
Check for Out-of-Square
Measure across diagonals to ensure your opening or table is perfectly square before ordering standard rectangular panes.
Submit in Inches
To ensure a streamlined, error-free manufacturing process across our USA facilities, please submit all final dimensions in standard inches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standard clear glass and extra clear low iron glass?
Standard clear glass contains ferric oxide (iron), which gives it a noticeable green tint, especially on the edges. Extra clear low iron glass has this iron removed during manufacturing, resulting in an ultra-clear, true-color appearance.
Does extra clear glass have a green edge?
No. The edge of extra clear glass is crystal clear with a very faint, bright icy-blue hue, completely avoiding the dark green/black edge seen on thick standard glass.
Is extra clear glass as strong as standard glass?
Yes! The removal of iron affects the color and clarity, not the structural integrity. Extra clear glass is just as durable and strong as standard glass of the same thickness.
Can extra clear glass be tempered?
Absolutely. We highly recommend tempering extra clear low iron glass if it is being used for tabletops, shelves, or doors to ensure maximum safety.
When should I choose extra clear over standard glass?
You should choose extra clear glass when placing glass over light-colored or white furniture, in high-end retail displays, museums, or any situation where you want absolute true color transmission without a green distortion.
Do you offer thick extra clear glass for tabletops?
Yes! Extra clear low iron glass is incredibly popular in thicker options like 3/8" and 1/2" because, unlike standard glass, it remains perfectly clear even at extreme thicknesses.
What is the turnaround time?
Most custom glass orders are manufactured and ship within 9–11 business days.

Starphire & Low Iron Glass: Experience True Clarity
Standard glass gets the job done, but if you look closely at the edges, you'll notice a distinct green tint. This is caused by the natural iron content in the sand used to make it. When color accuracy, maximum light transmission, and absolute clarity matter, it’s time to upgrade to low iron glass.
Also known in the industry as Starphire glass or simply ultra clear glass, this specialized product is manufactured with significantly reduced iron content. The result? A pristine, colorless glass that lets the true beauty of what’s behind it shine through.
Why Choose Low Iron Glass | Starphire Glass?
Whether you are designing a modern office space, protecting a luxury dining table, or creating a custom display, extra clear glass offers unmatched aesthetic benefits. Because it eliminates the green distortion found in standard panes, it is the perfect choice for projects where you want the glass to practically disappear.
- Flawless Color Match: Ideal for painting or back-coating (like kitchen backsplashes) where you need the exact paint color to show through without a green hue altering it.
- Brighter Interiors: Starfire glass allows up to 10% more light transmission than standard glass, brightening up rooms and commercial displays.
- Safety Meets Elegance: You don't have to sacrifice strength for beauty. We offer custom low iron tempered glass that provides the ultimate combination of heavy-duty safety and stunning visual clarity for tabletops, shelves, and doors.
The Ultimate Choice for Aquascaping
For aquatic enthusiasts, a standard tank can dull the vibrant colors of your fish and corals. Upgrading to a low iron glass aquarium is a game-changer.
By using ultra-clear glass for your tank panels, you get a high-definition, unobstructed view of your underwater ecosystem. It makes the water look as though it’s floating in mid-air, providing a breathtaking focal point for any room.
