The topic of the debate: Point Supported Glass Systems

We all know that glass is best known and widely used because of its aesthetic qualities. The beauty that glass adds to any building and construction project is the most valued asset for the architects. Thus, the introduction of the concept of linking insides of the building with the outside world came into existence. This concept, by its very nature, played an extremely significant role in institutional as well as commercial buildings. In recent years, glass production processes are getting improvised and advanced such that they support the building and construction concept in more natural and nature-related ways. 

Thanks to technological advancements, glass finally got an opportunity to replace metal, wood and even cement. Technology has caressed glass in ways that it got the strength to stand head to head with cement, metal and similar construction materials. Glass assemblies are seemingly taking over the load and metal-bearings, thus, tending to add a step forth in construction of the most compelling buildings gauged with minimized supporting systems. Glass is effectively enclosing its image as the most striking structural element for modern architecture.

What does a point supported structural glass has to offer?

While completely walking side-to-side with metals, plastics, and the strongest of the raw materials, glass continues to show the highest compressive strength, long-term stability backed up with essential durability, miraculous resistance to environmental aggression and most importantly, the stiffness/weight ratio.

Be the parameters fall in the category of quality, engineering, flexibility, or perhaps, precision tolerance, a point supported structural glass is there to meet and sometimes, excel these standards. A point structural glass is something that you would find as one of the most precisely fabricated raw materials that can not only add beauty but can also make the construction, a delicate masterpiece.
