SPIDERGLASS is a modern solution for exterior bolted glass assemblies, which secures the glazing to a support structure by means of point-fixings

The high-grade stainless steel fixings are designed to absorb all static and dynamic loads (i.e. the dead weight of the glass, wind loading, snow loads and differential expansion due to temperature difference) and distribute them to the support structure.

Intermediate elements which are inserted between the bolt and the glass ensure:

  • uniform transmission of stresses whilst avoiding local stresses;
  • a watertight facade.

The system incorporates SECURIPOINT (specially toughened) glass.

SPIDERGLASS is now also certified as blast-enhanced to ISO16933 “Glass in Building – Explosion resistant security glazing – Test and classification for arena air blast loading”.
