Spider glazing is a modern frameless glass facade system that uses stainless steel spider fittings to hold the glass panels in place. This system provides a sleek, transparent, and seamless appearance, making it popular for commercial buildings, showrooms, airports, and atriums.

Key Features of Spider Glazing
• Frameless Aesthetic – Provides a modern, uninterrupted glass facade.
• High Strength & Durability – Uses toughened or laminated glass with stainless steel hardware.
• Maximum Transparency – Enhances natural light and visibility.
• Weather & Impact Resistant – Can withstand wind loads, thermal stress, and external forces.
• Customizable Design – Supports various shapes and configurations.

Components of Spider Glazing System
• Spider Fittings – Stainless steel arms that hold the glass panels securely.
• Glass Panels – Tempered, laminated, or insulated glass for safety and efficiency.
• Rotules (Point Fixings) – Special bolts that secure the glass to the spider fitting.
• Support Structure – Can be tension rods, steel pipes, or glass fins for additional stability.
• Silicone Sealant – Ensures waterproofing and airtightness.
