Comments (4)He is incorrect. PPG Showerguard is called "Ultra White" which is the crystal clear Showerguard for Low Iron or Starphire Glass. He may be referring to an aftermarket product as he may have already ordered the glass and does not want to eat it but he is 100% wrong on his statement....See Moreregular vs low iron vs starphire glass for shower doors
Comments (5)Starphire is a brand name for Low Iron (PPG now Vitro). The fact that a dealer is going to charge you one price for low iron and another for the same thing but the Starphire brand would make me quite skeptical. As far as whether Low Iron is a benefit, that is a personal opinion, but the tile will definitely pick up the green hue in regular glass over low iron....See MoreShowerGuard or ClearShield
Comments (4)Another ShowerGuard user here. We had it in our glass shower doors of our last house. We remodeled and only used it about 4 years before we moved but zero issues. We did squeegee after showers. I didn't use any other cleaner on it. Just squeegee and maybe wipe with a towel. I would do it again....See MoreShower enclousure low iron or starphire?
Comments (4)From the Q & A section at your link: DreamLine stock products are regular glass, not low iron glass. The greenish tint inherent in glass is most noticeable at the edges of the panels. FYI, the edge color of low iron glass, especially in large panels, will still be green. Just not as green as regular glass according to the info at this link: https://www.schickershowerdoors.com/products/glass/regular-clear-vs-low-iron/...See MoreBates Design Associates, LLC
