Viridian SuperClear™

Sometimes the best solutions are ones that are hardest to see

Description

Viridian SuperClear™ provides maximum transparency and clarity by providing a crystal clear glass without the green tint usually found in standard float glass. This is achieved by removing the iron content from the glass during manufacture. The result is readily apparent with thick glass where the edges remain white and colour transmittance is more accurately processed in the same way as standard float glass. Available laminated, toughened and curved. It is particularly useful when glass has an applied design or colour such as Viridian Seraphic™ glass where light colours such as white remain true. Light transmission is also higher than standard glass which assists in the collection of solar energy. The sheer beauty of this product opens up a raft of new possibilities for architects and designers.
