In the world of glass, clarity speaks volumes!
Enter extra-clear glass—a marvel of innovation that sets itself apart with unparalleled transparency and brilliance. Unlike traditional float glass, which often carries a subtle greenish/bluish hue, SGG Diamant extra-clear glass by Saint-Gobain is celebrated for its crystal clear clarity, purity, elegance, and versatility.
But what exactly makes it different and unique?
Let’s explore the magic behind extra-clear glass and its remarkable design possibilities.
Extra-clear glass contains the least amount of iron oxide compared to standard float glass. This enhances colour neutrality and eliminates the green tint of conventional glass while maximising natural light transmission, resulting in a crystal-clear, distortion-free look.
The edges of extra-clear glass are brilliantly polished, giving it a streamlined, luxurious appearance. Whether it’s reflecting light in an elegant setting or showcasing artefacts, SGG Diamant extra-clear glass elevates the visual experience.

What is extra-clear glass?
Extra-clear glass, also known as high-definition or ultra-clear glass or low iron glass, is a type of high-quality glass with a significantly reduced iron content. Its low iron content provides high transparency and eliminates the greenish tint typically seen in regular float glass. As a result, it offers crystal-clear views and exceptional light transmission.
How does extra-clear glass differ from standard glass?
Regular float glass contains more iron oxide, resulting in a greenish hue and slightly reduced clarity. Extra-clear glass has minimal iron oxide content, delivering higher transparency, tru-color neutrality, and better light transmission.
What are the benefits of extra-clear glass in interiors?
Extra-clear glass enhances interior aesthetics by providing a modern, chic look. Its absolute clarity and crystal-clear views make it an ideal choice for art framing, panoramic views, backlit shelves, and other design-focused installations.
