Spider glazing

Listing ID #3669021

Modern day building structures are increasingly adopting the concept of using Transparent Glasses that not only enhances visibility of building interiors, but also serves to create a concept of space and openness giving it the signature of modern design. With continuous advances in technology, frameless structural glazing, commonly known as spider facades, are finding increased usage in more and more applications. These facades are created using spider fittings and accessories in various configurations thus achieving concept of Total Vision.
Various types of spider fittings are available in the market that includes a. Fin spider, b. Hanger-type spider, c. Hanger-plus-Spider-fitting type and; d. Full-Spider-fitting type spiders.
The Fin Spider System is used where the building's structure cannot provide support to the glass façade. This system is fixed to the glass fins which provide point support for wind loads and remain separated from the wall. Here, the load from each glass panel is transmitted from one panel to the next and supported by the spider fittings on the top. This system allows a clear view of the interior as it evades any metal structure or elements that may interrupt the view and is widely used for facades of malls and automobile showrooms
