Why the reflection tells the truth.

Every mirror we make starts with the same material decision: ultra-clear, low-iron Belgian glass. This page is the short version of why that matters, and what it looks like in a room.

On clarity

The glass has to tell the truth.

A mirror should show the room as it is. Most glass does not. Standard mirror glass carries a faint green cast that shifts skin tones, flattens colour, and quietly changes the light of a room.

We use Diamond ClearVision in every mirror we make, a low-iron Belgian glass with that cast removed. Colour returns as it should. Whites stay white, skin stays warm, and the reflection comes back clean, neutral, and complete.

In a large mirror, the effect is hard to miss. The surface recedes, the reflection opens up, and what you see is simply you, and the room exactly as it is.

The material

A cleaner mirror, made to last.

Clarity is only half of it. The mirror in every Claris piece is AGC Mirox 3G, a Belgian mirror made without copper and with almost no solvent emissions, and certified Cradle to Cradle Silver.

It is built to last. AGC engineered Mirox 3G to resist corrosion up to ten times longer than a standard mirror and to scratch far less, so the surface stays true for years rather than clouding at the edges.

A cleaner glass that also endures. The most sustainable mirror, after all, is the one you never have to replace.

  • Copper-free
  • Near-zero VOC
  • Cradle to Cradle Silver

Corrosion and scratch performance and the Cradle to Cradle Silver certification are AGC Glass Europe's published specifications for Mirox 3G.

See it in person

Seen in person, the difference is immediate.

The same clear, low-iron Belgian mirror goes into everything we make: made responsibly, built to last, backed by a five-year warranty, and true from across a room or up close. Which is the whole point of a mirror.

Questions

What is low-iron mirror glass?
Glass made with reduced iron content. Ordinary glass carries a faint green cast from the iron in it; removing the iron removes the cast. On a mirror, that means whites stay white and skin tones stay true.
Why do standard mirrors look slightly green?
The iron in ordinary float glass tints it green. The tint is easiest to see on a cut edge, but it also sits across the whole face of the mirror and shifts every colour in the reflection.
Is Diamond ClearVision in every Claris mirror?
Yes. Every mirror we make uses Diamond ClearVision low-iron Belgian glass, silvered as AGC Mirox 3G. The same glass goes into our standard collections and our custom work.
Does low-iron glass need special care?
No. Clean it the way you would clean any quality mirror: a soft cloth and a gentle glass cleaner. Our guide to cleaning an LED mirror covers the details.
