No-Bore Stainless Steel Routel Fitting (No Glass Drilling)
The no-bore routel holds tempered glass by clamping its edge or corner between decorative top and bottom covers, so no hole has to be drilled in the glass. This preserves glass integrity and is used on point-supported facades that need a clean appearance without drilled fixing points. It is a useful detail where designers want the lightness of spider-supported glazing without visible bolt heads through the panel face.
Because the glass remains undrilled, the risk of edge stress around fixing holes is removed, and replacement panels can be swapped without re-machining. The decorative covers conceal the fasteners, leaving a neat, flush look from the viewing side that suits showrooms, atriums and feature facades.

Installation & Usage
The routel body is fixed to the supporting spider arm or structure, the glass edge or corner is seated between the covers, and the fasteners are tightened evenly so the panel is held firmly without drilling. Covers are closed to hide the screws, and the panel grid is aligned before final lock-off. Stainless surfaces are cleaned of handling marks on completion.
