Features of Spider Glazing

Spider glazing is an architectural wonder with some amazing and spell bound features which make the service one of the popular services in construction and architectural line.

• Flexibility
  The flexibility of spider glazing that it can be moulded into a number of glass structures can be made – from frameless entrances to canopies. The prominent parts of spider glazing are glass and hardware fitting – both of them being elastic materials provide versatility of designs.
  The adaptability of glass and malleability of stainless steel enable them to fit into curtain walls and canopies – building the basic framework of a spider glazing system. This is the reason why many corporate facilities are surrounded by spider glass façades.
  In addition to texture-related customisations, spider glazing offers customisation in three other areas – performance, thickness, and colours. As a result, architects and designers can let their imaginations run wild.
• Crystal-clear View
  Structures constructed out of spider glazing systems have the highest glass-to-body ratios. Meaning, such structures have more of glass and less of the hardware material, say, steel. Not only do spider glazing systems look breath-taking from the outside, but they also allow the people inside to have an uninterrupted view of the gorgeous outdoors.
  Moreover, given the inherent nature of glass, such structures also allow ample natural light to invade the interiors, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting, bringing down energy bills. But, the benefits do not end here. When installed with heat-reflective glass, such systems also enhance the energy-efficiency quotient of the interiors, maintaining ideal indoor temperature and lowering the need for heating and cooling systems.
• Strong and Robust
  The glass used in spider glazing isn’t the average glass that breaks easily. It is a highly advanced glass manufactured using thermal or chemical tempering – toughened or tempered glass. Toughened glass is four to five times stronger than normal annealed glass and can withstand weather fluctuations, external elements, heavy wind loads, etc.
  Moreover, spider glazing systems can also withstand external pressure. When stress is applied, the steel fixtures around the glass panes act as weight distributors. All static and dynamic loads like the weight of other glass panes, wind loads, snowfall, etc. get dispersed throughout the structure – making it virtually impossible for any force to break through the glazing.
  Spider glazing is often used in areas with high population density, for example – malls, crowded complexes, showrooms, hotels, etc. The purpose of such places is attracting as many visitors as they can. But their safety also becomes a huge challenge, but not anymore with secure spider glazing systems!
