Glass composite

A glass compound, in particular for use as a window, door or architectural element, especially for ornamental purposes or as a sunscreen, comprising two or several glass plates (1, 2) spaced apart (A) by a spacer (4), wherein between adjacent glass plates (1, 2) an inherently rigid plate element (3) is loosely inserted whose thickness (D) is dimensioned to be smaller than the distance (A) between adjacent glass plates (1, 2) of the glass compound, characterized in that several in-plane plate elements (3) are inserted between two adjacent glass plates (1, 2), the total surface of said elements preferably roughly corresponding to the total surface of the glass compound, with adjacent plate elements (3) directly abutting each other with their peripheral rims, and in that the thickness (D) of the plate elements (3), according to the possible thermal expansions of said elements, is dimensioned to be smaller than the distance (A) between adjacent glass plates (1, 2).
