What is the difference between transparency and translucency of glass

The transparency and translucency of glass are two different concepts, and translucency does not necessarily mean transparency. The transparency of glass refers to its bidirectional transparency, which means that glass is transparent from any direction; The transparency of glass refers to the scattered transmission of light from one side of the glass to the other, but without the ability to see unexpected objects on the other side. With the advancement of industrial technology, people have invented the flat drawing method for producing glass, which has made glass increasingly pure and transparent.

The modern glass production process, float glass, has achieved good transparency in glass. The transparency of glass not only brings the light of nature into people's buildings, but also directs people's gaze from indoors to outdoors. It not only creates a bright light environment for people, but also brings visual transparency, spatial extension, and the combination of interior and exterior of buildings. The transparency of glass gives people a feeling of being in the living room but bathing in nature. This cannot be replaced by other building materials. The transparency of glass has a good decorative effect. Applying the transparency of glass can make indoor light soft, peaceful, and warm.

Excessive indoor lighting can cause eye reactions and make people restless and uneasy. The transparency of glass can eliminate these unfavorable factors and increase the concealment of the building. For example, decorating the doors and windows of the bathroom with embossed glass not only blocks the outside view, but also beautifies the environment of the bathroom. It can be said that modern buildings are increasingly utilizing the transparency of glass.
