Starphire Glass Information
The clarity of Starphire glass
actually becomes more apparent as the glass gets thicker,
maintaining a pleasing azure-green aesthetic. The image below
demonstrates how the thickness of the glass can affect the
greenish hue of traditional clear float glass in comparison to
Starphire glass.
The Edge of Traditional Clear Glass
When it comes to edge color for glass, some things
are never as clear as they appear in the showroom. When you order
glass for a shower enclosure, the edge color gradually changes
according to the thickness and overall dimensions of the glass.
Look at the edge of almost any piece of standard
clear furniture glass
and you’ll notice a green cast. That effect is exaggerated as the
glass
becomes thicker or longer.
This phenomenon is demonstrated by the chart
below, which
shows how the greenish hue of conventional clear glass becomes
increasingly dark as the length or the thickness of the glass
grows.
In addition to getting darker as it gets thicker,
edge color may also be
affected by other factors, such as the amount of ambient lighting
or the
way a shaped edge is contoured.
The Edge of Starphire Glass
If a dark green or black edge color is
undesirable, Starphire Glass is the industry’s most transparent
glass, thanks to a proprietary glass formulation and manufacturing
process that gives this extraordinary product a jewel-like
blue-edge not
available from any other commercial glass product.
As you can see from the chart below, even at a
length of 130 inches, Starphire glass edge maintains a pleasing
blue-green aesthetic that brings more light into interior space
while offering unmatched levels of brightness, color fidelity,
clarity and visual excitement.
Chipped edges can add a dramatic look to your enclosure.
