What is spandrel glass?

Spandrel glass is made by coating a vision glass with an opaque coating. The is prevents people from looking through the glass and seeing structural features inside the building. Spandrel glass is most often used in curtain wall construction where the glass and aluminum framing on a multi-story buiding passes on the exterior side of the floor slabs. A typical high-rise building will have a top-of-slab to top of slab distance of about 12 feet, but the slab-to-ceiling height is usually 8 feet. The 4 feet above the suspended ceiling contains the "spandrel beams" (the beams that hold up the floor slabs), electrical wiring, plumbig, mechanical ducts (heating and air conditioning) and fire suppression systems. Since most of these items are rather ugly, spandrel glass is used to high them from public view. Spandrel glass is not intended for use in a "vision glass" area. If you look at spandrel glass from the interior of a building looking out toward daylight, you will see pinholes and variations in the density of the coating.

If this is true then you also have the bulk of your ducts, water pipes, etc. in the ceiling of the ground floor and these are often run between an artificial drop ceiling and the actual structural ceiling.
