Ours are also crystal clear. However, known ones also have a slight tint in them. But rather dark and not green.

I know there is no legal advice allowed here, but I still have a question about our "rights"?

We have a purchase contract without an exact designation/description of the glass. During the consultation, we were not informed about mirrored glasses or the green tint. We assumed we would get "normal" glass. (We currently live in an apartment with triple glazing that is really crystal clear. We assumed it would be the same glass...)
Our windows are custom-made in terms of dimensions and thus individually made for us. However, we cannot be held responsible if the window maker did not advise us and therefore ordered glass that we did not want, can we?

Then let's simply ask, what is the difference between the purchase contract and the delivered material? As far as that goes, the window manufacturer did deliver what was ordered. By the way, float glass has a slightly greenish inherent color - it can only be decolorized with additives and special treatments. Did you order these additives and special treatments (called "extra white" depending on the glass manufacturer)? No - then delivered as ordered. The window manufacturer can't be blamed if you didn't order what you wanted...

And, what did window manufacturers and glass producers say?
