Structural glass point fixed solutions, also known as “spider glazing,” are a type of facade system that use glass panels that are suspended from a building’s structure using point fixings. These point fixings typically consist of stainless-steel bolts or clamps that are fixed to the glass and then attached to the building structure using steel brackets or cables.
Structural glass point fixed solutions provide a sleek and modern appearance, as they minimize the amount of visible framing and support structures. The glass panels, single glazed, double glazed or triple glazed, can be customized to create large, uninterrupted views, and can be designed to incorporate different glass types and thicknesses, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
There are two main types of structural glass point fixed solutions: single glazed and double glazed. Single glazed systems use a single pane of glass that is suspended from the building structure using point fixings, while double glazed systems use two panes of glass that are suspended from the structure with a gap between them, which provides improved thermal and acoustic insulation.
Structural glass point fixed solutions can also incorporate a range of additional features, such as tinted or reflective glass, integrated solar shading, and ventilation systems. These systems can help improve the energy efficiency and overall performance of the building.
One of the main benefits of structural glass point fixed solutions is their ability to provide a clean, minimalist appearance that enhances the visual appeal of modern buildings.
