Low Iron Shower Screens Melbourne | Starphire Glass Shower Screens

Unmatched clarity that showcases your bathroom at its finest.

Achieve Clarity with Low Iron glass

Low iron shower screens, often referred to as Starphire glass, are a premium variation of our frameless shower screens that use ultra-clear glass with reduced iron content. This significantly reduces the green tint commonly seen in standard clear glass, resulting in a cleaner and more colour-accurate finish.

The result is ultra-clear glass that allows tiles, stone and fittings to show their true colour. This makes low iron glass an excellent choice for modern bathrooms where the design details are meant to stand out.

Low iron glass is particularly noticeable when used in frameless shower screens, where the exposed edges of the glass make the difference in clarity more visible.

Low Iron glass vs Standard Clear glass

Compared with standard clear glass, low iron glass offers:

Clearer appearance with minimal green tint
Better visibility of tiles and fittings
A brighter and more open bathroom feel
A premium look suited to modern bathrooms

For bathrooms with light tiles, marble or natural stone, low iron glass can make a noticeable difference in the final result.

Low Iron Shower Screen FAQs Melbourne

Here are some of the most common questions people ask about Low Iron shower screens.

How much more expensive is Low Iron glass compared to standard glass?

Low-iron glass is more expensive than standard clear glass because of the additional manufacturing required to reduce the iron content. While the raw glass itself can cost significantly more, the processing, hardware and installation costs remain the same.

In most frameless shower screen installations, choosing low-iron glass typically increases the overall price by around 25–35% compared with standard clear glass.

Does Low Iron glass still have a green tint?

Low Iron glass significantly reduces the green tint found in standard clear glass, particularly along the edges of the glass panels. While a very slight tint may still be visible in certain lighting conditions, it is much less noticeable compared with standard glass.

Does Low Iron glass scratch more easily?

No. Low Iron glass has the same strength and durability as standard toughened safety glass. The only difference is the reduced iron content, which improves clarity but does not affect the strength or scratch resistance of the glass.
