Bear Glass carries Clarvista Glass which is produced during the manufacturing process. It is NOT an aftermarket application, which requires frequent re-application, buffing and polishing.

Pay Now or Pay Later?

Developers, architects, home owners and home builders should be aware of the COST of NOT specifying Bear Glass  Clarvista Glass . Yes, there is a reasonable premium charged for this innovative new product, but the benefits result in savings for many years to come, with no additional cost for replacing the glass later when it becomes dull and dirty due to corrosion.

Compare the cost of upgrading to Bear Glass now to what it will cost to replace the glass in your bath enclosure in just a few years. Invest now, OR pay later for new glass AND labor to install LATER – which do you prefer?

Bear Glass Clarvista Shower Glass is an innovative glass for shower doors and bath and shower enclosures that, with regular maintenance, looks newer longer than other shower glass products. The glass is made with a coating that seals the glass surface, enabling it to resist corrosion caused by heat, humidity, soap and household cleaning products.
Bear Glass Clarvista Glass is available with  Starphire® Glass ultra-clear or conventional clear glass. When combined with Starphire Glass, Bear Glass Clarvista Glass is the most transparent shower glass in the industry, which makes it ideal for upscale homes, resorts and commercial spas.

You can’t tell by looking at it, or even by touching it, but glass is a surprisingly porous material at the microscopic level. Repeated exposure to the kind of heat, humidity and cleaning products that you’d find in a bathroom can cause corrosion. This corrosion can cause ordinary glass to change appearance –making your glass shower look cloudy. Even some products designed to guard against this corrosion still degrade over time.

It has a coating, fused to the glass, sealing the glass surface to provide a protective barrier. The coating withstands the high temperatures required to thermally temper (strengthen) glass to meet safety codes for shower enclosures. Which is why, with regular maintenance, shower enclosures built with any of the available varieties of Clarvista Glass can keep their “like new” look longer.

After harsh accelerated exposure tests to the heat, humidity and chemical exposure in a typical bathroom, Clarvista Glass showed no signs of corrosion.
After these same tests, uncoated glass showed significant signs of corrosion.
Bear Glass Clarvista Glass stands up to the rigors of routine cleaning better than other shower glass products. And most non-abrasive, off-the-shelf cleaners can be used on Clarvista Glas s. Bear Glass carries sheet sizes of 96×130 and it can come in 1/4 3/8 1/2 clear and Starphire.

Benefits:
• Glass looks newer – longer
• Normal cleaning only to maintain
• No periodic applications required to maintain
• No buffing or polishing required
• No peeling or discoloration
• 10 year warranty*

Bear Glass offers Starphire low iron glass for special production runs, so be sure to ask us about it! Why choose Starphire low iron glass? The difference is clear…

Look at “regular” glass and you’ll notice a slight green tint (especially when viewing the edges) that becomes more noticeable when the glass is thicker. Often this is not an issue, but in many applications – such as glass tables and glass table tops, shop windows, entry doors or display cases – clarity becomes more important. And that’s where Starphire low iron glass is clearly better.

Starphire low iron glass is specially made for exceptional clarity, and will not dull or distort the true colors in the color spectrum. Whether it’s referred to as “extra clear, ” “water white” or “low iron, ” the glass is made to be crystal clear and virtually tint-free.

What makes Starphire low iron glass so pure and sparkling? One of the main ingredients in all glass is silica sand, which has naturally occurring iron oxides. These oxides are what cause the greenish tint in glass. But Starlite low iron glass is made from a high grade of silica sand that is almost completely free of iron oxides. By reducing the iron content you reduce the greenish tint and increase light transmission, brightness and clarity.

In fact, Starphire low iron glass can have as little as 10% of the iron content of regular glass, allowing it to transmit 91% of light, compared to 83% for regular glass.

Although the raw materials are different, Starphire low iron glass is manufactured the same way as regular glass, and can be pressed, cut, polished, tempered and otherwise worked the same way as well. It can be used wherever regular glass would be used, from interior and exterior applications in commercial buildings, to glass tables and glass table tops.

With such a brilliant, beautiful look, Bear Glass wants you to consider Starphire low iron glass for your special orders of glass tables and glass table tops.
