Clear Glass vs Low Iron Ultra Clear
Standard clear glass naturally contains iron, which gives it a greenish tint — most noticeable on the edges or against bright white tiles. Low iron glass, sometimes called ultra-clear or starphire, has most of that iron removed so it looks much more neutral and lets whites and colours pop without that subtle green hue. Both are strong, safety-rated glass, but if you want a crisp, modern look that really shows off your tiles or bathroom finishes, low iron glass is a subtle upgrade that makes a big difference.

Acid Etched vs Low Iron Acid Etched
Acid-etched glass is created by treating the surface with acid to give it a soft, frosted finish — perfect for privacy. Standard acid etched glass has a gentle texture but can show marks more easily on the treated side. Low iron acid-etched glass removes most of the iron content, making it brighter and cleaner while keeping the same frosted effect. The difference is subtle but noticeable, giving your space a modern soft feel without compromising privacy.

Narrow Reed vs Low Iron Narrow Reed
Narrow reed glass has a distinctive textured pattern of vertical lines that gently distort the view, giving privacy while still letting light through. Standard narrow reed glass has a slight greenish hue from the iron content, which can subtly alter the look of tiles or bathroom colours. Low iron narrow reed glass removes most of that iron, resulting in a brighter, cleaner appearance that really makes your space feel crisp and modern. Both provide privacy and elegant style, but the low iron option is ideal if you want your bathroom to feel light, fresh, and vibrant.

Clear vs Grey Tint
Grey tinted glass adds a modern and bold look, instantly giving your bathroom a touch of sophistication. The tint naturally darkens the area, which can create a cozy, spa-like atmosphere but may slightly reduce the brightness of smaller bathrooms. Grey tint works especially well with darker themes or metallic finishes for a more dramatic effect.
