Starphire Mirror

If you look at “regular” glass and you’ll notice a greenish tint (especially at the edge). That is an effect that becomes more noticeable when the glass is thicker, or when it is silvered to become a mirror. All mirrors made with “mirror quality” glass have this green tint. But Starphire mirrors by Bear glass eliminate the green to create unprecedented radiance, incomparable clarity, and an all-around better reflection. Bear Glass introduces to you, a truly “high-definition mirror”, made of Starphire glass.

At Bear Glass has a huge variety of Starphire mirrors. We go out of our way to carry every major line of Starphire mirrors, so that when you are looking for replacement of your float mirror with a Starphire mirror or custom Starphire mirrors, we’ve got it for you. Bear Glass is the ultimate shopping destination for your Starphire mirror glass.

Starphire mirror by Bear Glass is used for higher-end furniture, jewelry display cases, spas, cosmetic counters, bridal shops and doctor’s offices, ….areas where clarity is of utmost importance.

Starphire mirror:

• Natural, warm reflections
• Highest visible light transmittance:  (91%, compared to what could be as low as 83% for regular glass)
• Enhanced color purity and vibrancy of reflections
• What focus groups routinely say the reflection is noticeably better – that details look sharper and more “in focus”
• A Starphire mirror by Bear Glass is a high definition mirror that is unmatched with any others.

How are they made?

• Starphire mirrors start with low-iron glass that manufactured for exceptional clarity. “ Low-iron” refers to the presence of a higher grade of silica sand that is almost completely void of iron oxide. It is this iron oxide that casts the greenish tint, and that tint can distort the true colors.
• Nearly every mirror you look through has a green filter on it, which neutralizes skin tones, makes colors less vivid, and basically dulls the reflection. Some interior applications can really benefit from the enhanced color, focus, and bright reflection which only the Starphire mirrors by Bear Glass can provide.

Frequently asked Mirror Re-silvering questions

Q: Is re-silvering needed?

A: Sometimes mirrors appear to be dirty or streaked on the front surface. The silvering on the back has no problem. So clean the mirror surface properly to check that it has no damage on the front surface.

Q: Is it possible to re-silver a small portion of the mirror?

A: Yes, it is possible to re-silver a portion of your mirror to re-silver. Unfortunately, satisfactory results are not guaranteed and are not always achieved by doing so. If you want the best result a complete re-silvering of the mirror is recommended.

Q: How long does Re-silvering last?

A: The re-silvering should last for decades. However, we can’t control the conditions in which mirrors are hung or mounted. Bathroom mirrors or other mirrors subject to excessive moisture has higher chances of getting disturbed quicker than mirrors in the bed room or other places.

Q: What is used to silver the surface of the mirror?

A: In Earlier mirror making silver was used to coat the glass surface. But in more recent times sputtering powdered aluminum or other compounds have been used in the place of silver. Therefore today, this process is also known as aluminizing. Which makes this service more cost effective.

Q: What if the edge of the m irror has Deterioration?

A: This is very common, frequently occurring on bathroom mirrors where moisture has puddled on the edges. It might not have been installed or sealed properly in the first place. If the mirror is large simple rectangle without bevels it will be cheaper to buy a new mirror than to have it re-silvered. One solution for the problem is to cut off the damaged area and then remount the mirror. Bear Glass also provides mirror cutting services for any thickness.

Q: Does Silver Paint touch up works as re-silvering?

A: No, It doesn’t. Using paint for re-silvering a mirror will get disappointing results. Mirror re-silvering process does involve many steps and techniques that is not possible at home unless you have the proper knowledge.

Bear Glass specializes and is a leader in low iron glass.

Low iron glass is ultra clear and provides a higher degree of transparency compared to clear float glass. This optimum clarity is achieved by removing most of the iron oxide content used to produce glass.

The virtual absence of color makes low iron glass the natural choice when neutral color and clarity count.

Low iron glass belongs to a group of extremely clear glass with minimal green cast. High light transmission and brilliant surfaces make this glass ideal for colored glass applications, frame-less glass installations such as shower doors, glass doors and glass table tops. Low iron glass utilizes a raw material formula that increases light transmission and neutrality while reducing the greenish tint in clear glass that is most apparent when viewed from the edge. The result is pure, sparkling and very clear glass.

Low Iron glass is a high quality and ultra clear float glass, also called extra clear glass. The transparency of low iron glass can reach 91%. Low iron glass also can be done different deep processes same as float glass, such as, tempered, curved, laminated, insulated, and so on. Low Iron glass is mainly used for photo electricity conversion, solar energy, top-grade buildings, decorative glass, top-grade furniture, imitating crystal product, special type buildings, and so on.

Bear Glass can assist you in using low iron glass for your decorative needs throughout your home or any commercial building.

Properties of low iron glass include high clarity and transparency, low iron oxide content, and not green tint that is inherent in normal float glass.

One of the most prominent places that low iron glass is useful is in glass shower doors.  Bear Glass has a wide range of variety in the field of low iron glass for this usage.

Another usage of low iron glass is with energy based applications.  Solar panels are ideal for this type of glass.  The ultra pure sunlight that can be used by low iron glass is above all others for this necessity.

More and more uses for low iron glass are constantly trending.  One of the biggest right now is low iron glass used for aquariums and all types of fish tanks.  This is due to low iron glass being extremely clear and transparent.

Bear Glass recommends using low iron glass for other applications such as shelving, laminated glass, greenhouses, tabletops, furniture, decorative glass, and appliances.
