Glass Curtain Wall

Spider System

A spider system (or spider glass wall) is a high-end, structural glazing system that secures glass panels using point-fixed stainless steel connectors resembling spiders. Unlike standard curtain walls that rely on continuous perimeter frames, it uses these specialized brackets to create an almost seamless, floating glass facade with maximum transparency.

Key Characteristics & Components

Point-Fixing: Glass panels are bolted at their corners through pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for vertical or horizontal aluminum frame profiles.

The "Spider": Heavy-duty stainless steel fittings with one, two, three, or four arms that clamp the glass and transfer wind loads back to the support structure.

Support Structure: Spiders are anchored to an underlying framework, which can be steel columns, glass fins, or tension-cable networks.

Benefits: Delivers unobstructed panoramic views, maximizes natural daylight, and creates a striking, prestigious architectural statement.
