GLASS SUBSTRATES
GLASS SUBSTRATES
Glass substrates are the individual plies of glass used to
fabricate glass units and may also be referred to as float
glass, raw glass or glass lites. Glass substrate options include
clear, tinted and low iron.
AVAILABLE COLORS
Clear is the most commonly specified glass substrate and
has a slight green tint. In applications where designers
wish to reduce the green, low iron glass is often specified
in place of clear glass.
1=Clear 2=Green 3=Gray 4=Bronze
Low iron is a type of float glass manufactured with less
iron than standard clear glass. With this reduction in iron
content, the green hue is reduced.
Tinted glass is available in an assortment of colors
and light transmission levels. In addition to providing a
specific appearance, tinted glass has the added benefit of
improving performance.

Viracon’s glass substrate offering includes clear glass,
three low iron glass substrates and a variety of tinted

thicknesses and can have Viracon’s reflective or Low-E
coatings applied.
Viracon also offers a few specialty glass substrates
which have been developed for limited use in specific
applications. Due to their unique characteristics, specialty
glass substrates cannot be combined with Viracon’s
reflective or Low-E coatings.

The specific glass substrate needed for a given project

desired appearance.
