UltraVis™ | High Clarity Glass

UltraVis™ is made from a high-quality silica which has approximately 75% less iron content than standard float glass, allowing for a clearer glass with much higher light transmission.

PERFORMANCE/SPECIFYING

UltraVis can be specified as monolithic, Laminated or in an IGU. UltraVis has approximately 75% less iron oxides than standard clear float glass. The percentage of light that passes through a glass surface is known as light transmission, the higher the percentage is, the more light passes through the glass and the clearer it is. The graph below shows that low iron glass is superior to standard float glass when it comes to clarity. All glass must be engineered to specific code and design, please contact Woods Glass to find out more information.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE

Normally when cleaning glass, a vinegar-based glass cleaner or mild dish soap and water with a soft, lint-free cloth or paper products is recommended.

A squeegee or soft cloth may be carefully used to dry the glass and help avoid water spots. It is not recommended to use petroleum-based cleaners or solvents as they can streak the glass and weaken the seal between the glass and frame. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to reduce streaking on the glass.

Never use razor blades, steel wool, putty knives or abrasive pads as they may damage the glass, particularly on toughened glass
