Yes. It is not some run-of-the-mill glass but one that is also used for office spaces, etc.

without exactly knowing it, I suspect that glass is indeed a good sound insulator. The reason why glass usually does not help much is because it is always processed as thinly as possible. Sound insulation arises from mass ... and glass is hard and heavy.

Yes, but only soundproof glass, otherwise it is useless

Although you have 10 cm stainless steel in the hallway, it is not a separate heating circuit where the temperature decreases along the running meters of heating pipe; rather, "hot" supply pipes always run through the hallway. In my opinion, these should be insulated to prevent local overheating.

But that’s what all return lines are for, where the temperature is significantly lower. So, on average, the temperature is similar to the other rooms.

What would you as a builder give the heating installer as a "wish" for the underfloor heating? Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the subject, and as of today, I would say: "Please lay the loops as close as possible so that the flow temperature can be low."

I would point him to the following points: low flow temperature, lay as close as possible, and approximately equal lengths of the heating circuits. Planning and calculation should be done by a technical building equipment planner, not by the pipe manufacturer. We currently see this with the neighbors: in their house, heating circuits range from 20 m to 120 m in length.

... like in the zoo. I don't think that's a good idea.

Oh, then there will also be venetian blinds ;)

Or "smart glass," this frosted glass at the push of a button.
