False perceptions limiting opportunities to specify glass, study suggests

Nearly two-thirds (62%) of architects believe misconceptions about glass strength and safety are holding them back from embracing its full potential in innovative building designs, according to a new study by Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group.

The survey of 100 architects and specifiers revealed that glass is frequently overlooked for projects due to false perceptions over low strength and post-breakage characteristics. Only 3% of the sample disagreed that glass was being overlooked.
