ExtraClear

Standard clear glass has an inherent greenish colour due to its iron oxide content. This green tint is visible particularly when viewing the edge of the glass or in a composite stack of many glass lites. Guardian ExtraClear™ float glass contains less iron oxide than standard clear float glass, resulting in enhanced colour neutrality in transmission and reflection.

In addition to its optical quality, Guardian ExtraClear glass delivers approximately 4% lower embodied carbon than the average European standard float glass.* This performance reflects Guardian Glass’ commitment to Stewardship and ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce air emissions. These improvements are made possible through sustained investments in advanced furnace technologies and energy efficiency projects across our operations in Europe.

Guardian ExtraClear can be heat treated, laminated, or coated, and has a wide range of applications including high performance facades, partitions, store fronts, solar control glass, laminated safety glass, and silk-screen printed glass among others.
