Over the past decade, lot of modifications have taken place in the methods of producing a glass. As a result the glass types have also evolved. In such a case it becomes difficult for a layman to decide as to which glass would best suit his/her purpose. Along with it also comes in lot myths that are discussed below.
MYTH BUSTER 1:
People think that more the glazing of the glass better would be the sound insulation
This is not true as more the thickness of the glass better is the sound dilution. Therefore as an example, a 12mm gazing gives a better sound insulation than a 7mm gap plus 12 mm glazing.
MYTH BUSTER 2:
While installing glass there is no need of validating wind flow
This is again not true. Glass should never be installed without wind validation. It is just not a material. Your glass provider would be the best judge to guide you.
MYTH BUSTER 3:
Thick glass reduces sound
The sound insulation property works in a different way in glass. More the thickness of the glass better is the sound insulation.
