Glass is commonly used in the furniture industry to create a sense of extra space. Expansion of the visible boundaries of the room happens due to the transparency of the material, which makes it invisible. Therefore, the more transparent the glass, the more noticeable this effect will be.

Ordinary glass is not completely transparent. If you look closely, you will notice that there is a slight turquoise hue. It is especially noticeable at the edges of the glass. Because of this, the edges can look inappropriate, regardless of the way they are processed. This fact is especially true for thick glass sheets. Ordinary glass is absolutely not suitable for creating store windows, as it changes the shade of the product and does not look very aesthetically pleasing.

Starphire glass is a great solution for shop windows and beautiful interior items. It has low iron content. It is iron in the composition of ordinary glass that can change the light rays passing through it, by giving them a bluish tint. The low-iron glass does not have a specific darkening around the edges. It looks transparent and colorless from all angles.
