Extra Clear
Highly appreciated for its modern aesthetics, extra-clear glass is designed to eliminate imperfections, guaranteeing exceptional light transmission. With its high-end finish and reinforced thickness, this glass offers not only optimum luminosity, but also enhanced robustness. This makes it the ideal choice for residential, commercial and institutional projects.
Extra-clear glass: the ideal option for bright, modern spaces
Extra-clear glass is an advanced building material, often chosen for its high level of transparency. Its minimized iron composition eliminates the greenish tints common in standard clear glass, guaranteeing optimum light transmission. With a light transmission rate of up to 93%, this glass promotes greater luminosity in interior spaces.
Thanks to its great adaptability, this glass is used in a wide variety of projects, from modern facades to architectural windows. It is cut to size to precisely meet the requirements of each project, and our manufacturing process uses state-of-the-art technologies to ensure efficient and precise execution (CNC, Waterjet, etc.).
Extra-clear glass is often used as single or double glazing, depending on specific thermal and acoustic insulation requirements. Its technical characteristics make it a preferred choice in the construction sector, meeting the performance and aesthetic requirements of architects and customers alike.
Characteristics of extra-clear glass
Extra-clear glass, also known as low-iron glass, is appreciated for its exceptional transparency and lack of greenish tint, allowing maximum light transmission. It is particularly resistant when tempered, offering good scratch and impact resistance as well as reduced bending. Its high clarity makes it an excellent choice for applications where optical precision is essential.
Extra-Clear Glass uses and applications
Extra-clear glass is distinguished by its ability to deliver maximum luminosity and unrivalled transparency. This makes it the preferred choice for projects where aesthetics and clarity are essential. Thanks to its superior optical properties, it restores light in a natural way, bringing a sense of openness and elegance to any space. Used in both residential and commercial projects, it integrates perfectly into structures such as shower enclosures, glass doors and partitions, where light becomes a key design element.
This material is just as effective for exterior applications. It’s ideal for facade windows, glass roofs or other structures requiring light and unobstructed views. Its clarity also makes it an essential choice for more specialized uses, such as museum windows, aquariums or glass railings, where perfect visibility is paramount.
With its ability to visually enlarge spaces and sublimate light, extra-clear glass is a choice ally for architects and designers in search of transparency and modernity.
When to use it
Extra-clear glass is ideal for projects requiring maximum light transmission and almost total transparency. It can be used as single glass for decorative or non-load-bearing applications, tempered glass for added strength, or laminated glass for enhanced safety. When integrated into insulating glass units, it offers excellent thermal performance while retaining its qualities of transparency and luminosity. This glass is ideally suited to architectural or industrial projects requiring high-end aesthetics.

All you need to know
Extra clear glass, also known as low-iron glass, has reduced iron content, which minimizes the greenish tint found in standard clear glass. This allows for exceptional transparency and true-to-color views, making it ideal for applications where high clarity is essential, such as display cases, facades, and premium architectural projects.
Extra clear glass is prized for its high light transmission and lack of color distortion. It enhances the visual appeal of spaces by allowing natural light to enter without altering colors, which is critical in modern architecture and interior design. Its clarity also makes it a top choice for high-end commercial and institutional buildings that emphasize aesthetics.
Extra clear glass can be treated with energy-efficient coatings to support LEED and WELL standards. Its high transparency improves daylighting, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and contributing to energy savings. Combined with low-emissivity coatings, extra clear glass helps manage indoor temperatures, supporting sustainable building practices.
Extra clear glass can be customized in various ways to meet specific project needs. Options include specialized coatings for UV protection, scratch resistance, and additional treatments to reinforce durability. Thickness and edge treatments can also be modified, making it suitable for everything from facades to interior partitions and glass balustrades.
Yes, extra clear glass is durable and can be treated to withstand demanding environments. While it offers superior transparency, it can also be tempered or laminated for added strength, meeting safety and performance requirements in commercial and industrial settings. Regular maintenance ensures its longevity and visual quality.
