Spider Glazing System
Developments in the field of architecture have enabled curtain wall systems with glasses that are bolted with plush stainless steel fixtures that provide for an uninterrupted view of the exterior and the interior. The stainless steel fixtures resemble a spider with legs and hence the name.
Spider Glazing Façade
Advancements in architectural design have introduced innovative façade systems that emphasize transparency, elegance, and structural efficiency. One such modern solution is the Spider Glazing System, a frameless glass façade technology that creates a seamless visual connection between the interior and exterior of a building.
In a spider glazing system, large glass panels are supported using high-strength stainless steel spider fittings instead of conventional aluminium frames. These fittings are designed with multiple arms, resembling the legs of a spider—hence the name spider glazing.
Spider Glass Façade System
The stainless-steel spider fixtures are engineered to absorb and distribute various structural loads efficiently. They handle the dead weight of the glass, wind pressure, impact loads, rain forces, and thermal expansion caused by changing weather conditions. This makes spider glazing highly reliable for exterior façades, atriums, entrances, showrooms, malls, airports, and corporate buildings.
A complete spider glazing system consists of toughened or laminated glass panels, spider brackets, rotules, fasteners, and support structures such as steel cables or glass fins. The glass used is specially processed to offer high strength, safety, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. In case of breakage, toughened or laminated glass ensures enhanced safety and durability.
Apart from structural stability, spider glazing systems also enhance the aesthetic appeal and natural daylight penetration of a building. The absence of bulky frames gives a clean, modern appearance while allowing maximum light flow, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
With its combination of strength, transparency, and architectural sophistication, the Spider Glazing System has become a preferred choice for modern façade designs. It delivers durability, safety, and visual elegance—perfect for projects that demand both performance and contemporary aesthetics.
Advantages of Spider Glazing Systems
- The offer unhindered interior view due to the presence of non-interfering spider fixtures that are minimal in design principle.
- Since they offer maximum transparency, they provide maximum natural light penetration inside the building. This results in huge energy saving as the need for lighting in the day is markedly reduced.
- They can be seamlessly incorporated and integrated into canopies and other curtain walls. Hence the spider glazing can be termed as the most flexible glazing system.
- Spider glazed surfaces are easy to install and maintain.
Doors and windows can be inserted at ease on any spider glazed surface.
