Transparency Values Explained
Transparency of glass is measured by the level of Opacity. It is a measure how little light or how much light can pass through a sheet of glass. These are the different levels of Transparency.
Transparent - Light can easily pass through these 100% transparent glasses since they don’t contain any opaque glass or other light blocking material.
Translucent - Predominantly transparent glass with some opaque glass mixed in, allowing light to pass through in many or most areas.
Semi-Translucent - Predominantly opaque glass with some translucent glass mixed in, allowing less light to pass through the sheet or pass through in only small areas.
Opalescent - Glasses that are primarily or completely opaque, reflecting most light away but often featuring a luminescent glow when backlit depending on the specific product.
Obscure Values Explained
Obscure Levels are rated by the level of visible detail when viewed through glass.
Low - very visible back-ground detail.
Low/Medium
Medium - equal range of visible back-ground detail.
Medium/High
High - minimal level or no visible back-ground detail.
Wissmach Glass does not cut as easily as Spectrum, Oceanside, or English Muffle. This would especially apply to a beginner glass cutter.
Wissmach Art Glass color mixes vary throughout the full sheet. The color mix is not as consistent as Oceanside or Spectrum Glass. This may lead to disappointment while others appreciate the inconsistency.
Wissmach Art Glass does have occasional manufacturer defects: bubbles, bumps, irregular corners, irregular flatness, seeds, streaks, varying thickness, and washed-out areas.
