This construction principle also aims for as little support structure as possible. Since the sub-construction is omitted entirely, whole glass support structures mean the optimum transparency.

Whole glass panes follow the principle of old arch constructions. Each individual glass element passes on the pressure (force) from the element above to the element below and thus acts as a static supporting element. The usual distribution of tasks of the static supporting sub-construction found in other construction principles and the glass element forming the room is raised here and the glass element assumes both functions. 

The supporting tolerance of a whole glass pane mainly depends on the absolute, precise conformity of the selected geometry. A high degree of assembly precision and the fixing of the construction with suitable tension elements such as cables is essentially important. Without a doubt, the realisation of whole glass support structures represents the undisputed regal discipline of all construction processes using glass.
