Low Iron Glass tiles

9 years ago

Everything I've read indicates that I should use a low iron glass to decrease the green/blue tint to the glass. But I can't seem to find specific companies that indicate their glass is low iron (or any info about the glass for that matter). Anyone know brands of tiles that are low iron?

Instead of looking for iron content, why not look at the tiles themselves? Get some samples and view them under different lighting scenarios.

I've looked at a variety. Just read enough horror stories that I was curious if anyone had a particular one they were happy with.

Get some free samples from Fireclay (although they do have a handmade vibe which might not be the look you want). I got a lot of samples from them and the only ones that were green were supposed to be green.

If the samples you got look fine, then they're probably going to be fine installed. I've heard of window glass and shower stall glass being greenish but never heard of it being an issue with tile.
