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.

Compared with standard clear glass, low iron glass offers:

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

Hardware Finishes for Low Iron Shower Screens

The clarity of low iron glass works best when paired with the right hardware finish. Because the glass has minimal colour tint, the fittings become more noticeable, making the choice of finish an important part of the overall look.

At Famous Frameless, we offer a range of hardware finishes to suit different bathroom styles:

Brushed brass – warm, modern and works well with natural stone and lighter tiles
Matte black – bold contrast, ideal for contemporary bathrooms
Brushed nickel – a softer, more neutral option that suits most colour schemes
Gunmetal – darker than nickel, with a subtle metallic tone
Polished chrome – clean and reflective, suited to classic or minimal designs

Because low iron glass is more transparent than standard clear glass, these finishes appear more true to colour without the slight green tint affecting the overall look.

If needed, we can guide you through finish options based on your tiles, layout and overall design, ensuring the final result looks balanced and intentional.

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.
