Curtain Wall - Glazed, Spider, Structure
A spider structure glazed curtain wall represents a fusion of structural innovation with transparent aesthetics. In this system, the façade is primarily supported by a spider fitting mechanism: sleek, point-fixed connectors that bind vast glass panes directly to a concealed structural substructure, often made of steel or another robust material.
This design eliminates the need for traditional mullions, offering an almost uninterrupted glass surface. The spider fittings serve dual roles, merging function with form. By transferring loads to the underlying substructure, the façade remains stable and secure, while also achieving unparalleled clarity and minimalism, presenting an interplay of engineering and design elegance.
Spider Structure Glazed Curtain Walls are constructed using spider fittings with widths of 6”, 8”, 12” (15, 20, 30 cm) and depths between 2”-4” (5-10 cm). The structural frame has typical widths of 2”-6” (5-15 cm) and depths of 4”-10” (10-25 cm). Glazed curtain wall panel sizes vary as desired.
Curtain Wall Panel Sizes are manufactured with a variety of sizes with panel widths between 2’-8’ (.61-2.44 m) and overall panel heights from 2’-20’ (.61-6.1 m). Glazed curtain wall panels have thicknesses between .25”-1” (6-25 mm).
