Clear glass grow room

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this? basically 4 glass panels that make up four walls with a glass door in one. I'm thinking of doing something like that after the the idea came to me a few week ago. I would just like to get as much info about it as possible before i might waste my time. so far what i have is that the way the glass panels are put together is pretty remarkable. a local glass fitting company does it for a fair price and it seals off completely because they use slider type things to align and sturdy the panels on the ceiling and floor and then the corners are sealed with silicone and the inside edges and rims lined with this foamy type tape that works very well for a sealant. They originally install them as sun rooms but i think it would work just as well for a indoor grow room. im just unsure about a few things:

what would the heat and humidity be like inside there with HID lamps OR with LED lamps?

does the glass really reflect light as effectively (or more) as Mylar sheeting?

i have the idea that the glass panels will be more effective in terms of hygiene, any thoughts on that?

the glass room can be hidden by simply installing a curtain rail around the room> if it were in the corner you'd install a rail at 90 degree corner and have he two concrete walls of the actual room behind the other two panels. then you'd simply hang a dark colored curtain or drape that covers well and you'd be A okay.

Peace n Blessings

how would you do dark cycle? glass does not reflect, if it did how would the sun get in your house? build your room using wood, and osb for wall. use silicon where ever there are joints. paint the walls and ceiling flat white. thats almost as bad as the guy who wanted to use mirrors.

How would you vent the room? It sure would get hot in there and yes I agree glass does not reflect light, and your dark cycle would be a bitch to control......Personally...dumb idea,waste of time and money.
