Glass tints and grades — the four glass types

Separate from surface treatment, our calculator also lets you choose the base glass itself:

Standard clear glass

Ordinary float glass, the standard base glass used across our range. Like most standard glass, it has a faint green tinge when viewed edge-on — barely noticeable in a shower screen, and the most economical option.

Ultra-clear crystal

Low-iron glass, manufactured with reduced iron content so it lacks the green tinge of standard glass — the result looks noticeably more colourless and transparent, especially on thicker panels. A premium upgrade for a cleaner, more true-to-colour look.

Tinted grey / blue / tea

Glass tinted during manufacturing in grey, blue, or tea (bronze) tones. Adds colour and softens the light passing through, giving a degree of privacy while still allowing an outline view — a popular way to match a bathroom's colour scheme or add a warmer or cooler visual tone.

A decorative coating process applied with a pattern, distinct from silk-printing — typically giving a subtle metallic or reflective quality to the design. A premium decorative option for a more distinctive look.

Try it live on your model

Every glass type and tint is available as a dropdown on any model's configurator page, under "Finishes & add-ons" — pick a model, choose an option, and the price updates instantly. Looking for surface finish options instead — frosted, silk-print, nano coating? See our separate glass surface treatments guide. If you're not sure which will suit your bathroom, come into one of our showrooms to see real glass samples in person, or give us a call or WhatsApp using the numbers below.
