Spider Glazing
Spider glazing, also known as spider glass fitting or spider glass facet, is a modern and visually striking method for creating all-glass structures using point-fixed glass panels. It's a popular choice for building exteriors, storefronts, atriums, and other areas where maximizing natural light and unobstructed views is desired
How it works
Glass panels
Typically made from tempered or laminated glass for safety and strength, these panels are the stars of the show, offering transparency and sleek aesthetics.
Spider fittings
These are the "spiders" in spider glazing, named for their resemblance to the arachnids. They are precision-engineered metal components that connect the glass panels to the supporting structure at various points.
Support structure
This can be steel or concrete, and it provides the overall stability for the glass facade. The spider fittings are securely anchored to this structure.
Benefits of spider glazing
Unobstructed views
The minimal use of support structures maximizes transparency and allows for expansive views of the surrounding area.
Modern and sleek design
The clean lines and minimalist aesthetic of spider glazing create a contemporary and sophisticated look.
Versatility
Spider glazing can be adapted to various architectural styles and can be used for both interior and exterior applications.
Natural light
The abundance of glass allows natural light to flood into the space, reducing dependence on artificial lighting and creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere.
Weather resistance
Spider glazing systems are designed to withstand wind, rain, and other weather elements.
Durability
The tempered glass used in spider glazing is strong and resistant to breakage.
Easy maintenance
The smooth glass surfaces are relatively easy to clean and maintain.
