What type of glass is suitable for making painted back splashes?

The type of glass most popular in the glass paint industry to create back painted glass backsplashes is “Low-Iron Glass” also known as “Starphire Glass”. This glass is used for back painted glass because of its optically clear properties unlike regular glass (regular glass gives a green tint effect that distorts the back painted color). The Industry standard thickness for colored glass backsplash applications is 1/4″ or 6mm.
