Feeling Green Today?

QOTD: Why do we see a greenish color on the sides of a piece of glass?

Most Regular Glass


Most commercial glass pieces have greenish or blueish tint.  The culprit is iron oxide.  The higher the content of iron oxide, the greener the tint.  Also note that the green tint can be seen easier as the glass gets thicker.  There is a method to remove most the green tint and that is to decrease the amount of iron oxide within the glass.  You can check out our low iron oxide glass (aka Starphire Glass) below.  For more information on the types of products we offer, head over to our website www.mwinsulatedglass.com
