Glass in interior wall

[Johannabacken]

Hello,

I want to let in light by placing a narrow glass in the wall from floor to ceiling.

What type of glass should be used?
laminated/tempered or is standard glass okay?

Should double glazing be used for soundproofing?

What thickness of glass is suitable?

Is it possible to set the glass in a groove I rout in the frame or does one need to build a "real" window frame for some reason?

Best regards

Know some who have done similar and will do it myself as well.

So, you can make the fastening as you like, but remember that glass is a "dead" material and wood is "living" so you need to leave space for internal movement between the glass and the wood.

Single glass is sufficient, even for sound. It's possible to use standard glass but would probably recommend tempered, to withstand minor impacts.
