White glass vs a greenish tempered glass

Colleen Mac Dougall

12 years ago

Looking high and low for a white frosted square glass vessel sink. Only a few square ones and the glass, even the crystal ones, all have a greenish hue. Any help finding one? max 16" but 12-14" preferred. A needle in a haystack or just doesn't exist?

Thick glass has a greenish hue from light passing through it.

not necessarily - tempering is a process of hardening glass. This process can be applied to clear float glass (greenish hue) and low iron glass (Starphire - example). We are able to make 3/4" glass to 4" glass using low iron products.

Thick glass made with clear float glass is green because of glass' iron content.
