Spider System for Point-Supported Glass Facades

The Spider System is a sophisticated structural glazing solution designed for vertical and inclined facades. It utilizes a network of precision-engineered stainless steel nodes, commonly known as 'spiders,' to support glass panels at their corners. This point-supported method eliminates the need for bulky mullions or frames, allowing for expansive, uninterrupted views and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that is highly sought after in contemporary commercial and residential architecture.

The system is compatible with both single-pane thermally toughened (tempered) glass and Insulated Glass Units (IGUs). The glass is securely fixed to the spider nodes using countersunk stainless steel bolts through pre-drilled holes. This design ensures that the structural load is distributed efficiently while maintaining the transparency of the facade. The use of high-grade stainless steel for the nodes and fixings provides superior corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring the longevity of the installation even in harsh environmental conditions.

• Structural Integrity: Robust stainless steel spider nodes provide reliable support for heavy glass panels.
• Design Flexibility: Enables complex geometric shapes and large glass areas without visible framing.
• Weather Resistance: High-quality materials withstand UV exposure, wind loads, and temperature fluctuations.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Creates a clean, seamless appearance that maximizes natural light and visibility.
