The Spider Glass System has become one of the most widely used solutions for transparent architectural facades, especially in commercial buildings, airports, and shopping malls. It allows architects to achieve maximum visibility while maintaining structural safety.

Key Components of the Spider System:

🔹 Glass Panels
Typically Tempered or Laminated Glass designed to resist wind loads and ensure safety.

🔹 Spider Fittings
Stainless steel arms that connect and support the glass panels while transferring loads to the main structure.

🔹 Routels (Glass Bolts)
Specialized bolts used to fix the glass panels to the spider fittings through pre-drilled holes in the glass.

🔹 Structural Support System
This may include steel frames, tension rods, or cable systems designed to carry and distribute loads safely.

🔹 Silicone Sealant & Gaskets
Used to seal the joints between glass panels and ensure proper weather resistance.

Spider systems are widely used in modern architecture due to their ability to create highly transparent and visually striking facades while maintaining strong structural performance.

In facade engineering, proper design of load transfer, glass thickness, and fixing details is critical for a safe and durable installation.
