APPLICATION 01

Structural Glass Curtain Wall Hardware

Complete point-supported spider fitting systems for transparent, frameless glass facades.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Point-Supported Facades, Held by Precision Hardware

A point-supported curtain wall carries glass panes on discreet stainless fittings instead of heavy frames — the look that defines modern commercial lobbies, airport terminals and flagship retail facades.

Each pane is drilled and supported at a handful of points, so every spider, bolt and rod has to share the load precisely. That is why the hardware system — not just the glass — decides whether the facade is safe, watertight and clean to maintain.

WHAT THE APPLICATION DEMANDS

Key Technical Requirements

Load Sharing

Multi-point support must distribute pane weight and wind load evenly across spiders and rods.

Bolt-Hole Tolerance

Drilled glass demands precise hole diameter and countersink matching to avoid edge stress.

Corrosion Resistance

Coastal and humid sites require 316L grade stainless and verified surface finishing.

System Fit

Spiders, bolts, hangers and rods must align as one matched set — not random parts.

OUR SOLUTION

One Matched System for the Whole Facade

✓ Spider fittings — 2-arm, 3-arm, 4-arm and K-claw styles for corner, edge and face points.
✓ Routel fittings & bolts — one-piece and two-piece heads with standard and custom hole sizes.
✓ Tension rods & cable systems — rods, turnbuckles and cable ends for structural bracing.
✓ Glass hangers & wall supports — top suspension and edge anchoring options.
✓ Three material grades — 201 for value projects, 304 as the standard, 316L for coastal and pool environments.
✓ Made to drawing — custom hole diameters, arm lengths and finishes on request.
