Stainless Steel Tension Rod System for Point-Supported Glass Curtain Wall
The tension rod system provides structural bracing and support for point-supported glass curtain walls, using precision stainless steel rods with adjustable end fittings. Solid round rods with forked locking heads allow on-site length adjustment via left/right-hand threads, so the structure can be tensioned accurately once the facade grid is in place.
The slender round rods give the bracing a light, architectural appearance that does not dominate the glazing, which makes the system popular for atriums, canopies and feature facades. SS304 or SS316 material covers interior and coastal exterior exposure, and the fork-end heads connect cleanly to existing node and spider details.
Key Features
- Material: SS304 / SS316 stainless steel
- Thread: M32, solid rod with fork-end lock heads

Specifications
- Rod: Solid round stainless steel tension rod
- Thread size: M32
- End fittings: Forked locking heads both ends
- Material options: SS304 or SS316 stainless steel
- Finish options: Mirror polished or satin brushed
Installation & Usage
The rods are delivered to cut lengths with fork-end heads fitted. They are pinned into the supporting structure and node points, then turned on the left/right-hand threads to take up slack and bring the facade to design tension. Once the structure is aligned, the locking heads are secured, and the stainless rods are cleaned of handling marks at handover.
Quality Assurance
Every tension rod is 100% inspected before shipment for thread condition, fork-head alignment and surface finish. Material test certificates are available on request.
Applications
- Point-supported glass curtain wall bracing
