Low Iron Glass Cut to Size

Our super-clear low iron toughened glass creates optimum visuals thanks to the reduced iron that minimises the blue or green hue seen in traditional glass. The thicker the glass, the more noticeable this tint becomes, but low iron glass avoids this colour distortion.

Even the edges of low iron toughened glass look clear, which are the most discoloured parts of standard glass – which is why low iron glass is a must in situations where purity and consistency of colour are essential to achieve the desired result.

When you choose toughened glass processed with low iron, you not only benefit from its superior clarity, but also its robust strength and reassuring safety. After all, toughened glass also has higher impact resistance, and a lower risk of injury if it does break.

So, if you want to elevate your indoor or outdoor space with low iron toughened glass cut to size, you can order below by submitting your bespoke measurements. If you need help placing a custom order, please contact us for assistance from the Express Toughening team.

How is low iron glass made?

Manufacturing glass involves a selection of materials with various impurities present. The green or blue tint in glass is caused by higher quantities of naturally present iron oxide, which can come from the silica sand that glass is made from or the container that the glass was melted in.

Low iron glass, which is widely known as ultra-clear glass, achieves a greater level of clarity by reducing the amount of iron oxide. It’s manufactured from higher-grade silica with lower iron content, using a more closely controlled melting process to keep these qualities consistent.

This results in a much more transparent glass with fewer impurities – often many times clearer than standard glass with higher iron content. Like regular glass, low iron glass can be toughened or laminated for different purposes.

What are the benefits of low iron glass?

The unique advantage of low iron toughened glass is that it can be used for everything that standard toughened glass can be used for, but the final result will have far more optical clarity.

This means there won’t be a greenish blue tint visible, even when viewing the edges – making low iron glass ideal for furniture that may have visible edges, including tables, shelves, and screens.

The higher level of light transmittance that comes with greater transparency allows for a brighter appearance and true representation of colour when viewed through the glass, which is also perfect for display cabinets.

Even with thicker glass, the low iron properties allow it to maintain optimal clearness without discolouration. This is especially useful when installations feature layers of glass or different glass specifications that may otherwise have inconsistent iron oxide tints.

Where can low iron toughened glass be used?

Wherever you might think of using toughened glass, you can opt for low iron toughened glass when light transmittance and a clearer view are priorities for the installation space.

Available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, or 15mm, our low iron glass looks beautifully clear no matter the thickness.

Applications that could benefit from the improved aesthetics and enhanced transparency of low iron glass include:

  • Office desks, table tops, and counters with colourless edges
  • Back-painted glass splashbacks or digitally printed glass wall art
  • Wall-mounted glass shelves or glass display cabinets
  • Bath and shower screens or interior glass partition walls
  • Glass balustrades for stairs, landings, or external decks

Without the greenish pigmentation caused by high iron oxide levels affecting the final look, this ultra-clear glass is an excellent base for all kinds of uses, whether residential or commercial or in any other setting.

What Our Customers Say

Andrew Cooke

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!
