Spider Glazing | hitechglazings
 
Hitech is a name synonymous with Point Fixed Glazing system and has been providing Point Fixed Glazing accessories since many years. This product has successfully been installed in many prestigious projects.

Hitech Spiders and its accessories are manufactured through our ancillary units under the strict supervision of our engineers ensuring high quality at competitive prices. Hitech Spider System is made from International Standard Quality Stainless Steel 316 grade. With constant development in science and technology, glass curtain walls are finding increasingly more applications and their structures are also experiencing great changes. Glass curtain walls have developed from singular aluminium alloy frame glass curtain walls to serialized frameless glass curtain walls, including hanger type, hanger plus spider-fitting type and fully spider fitting type.

Fully spider fitting frameless glass curtain walls, connect glass together in an open space using various types of light steel structures via various types of spider fitting members to form flexible and unobstructed curtain wall façade. In this way, fully spider fitted glass curtain walls not only maintain the safety of aluminium alloy frame glass curtain wall but also eliminate the disadvantages of the later in singular structure and restrictions from construction structures. As a result they are unobstructed as a whole, neat, bright and integrated with such advantages as safety, practicality and artistic taste thus becoming a vogue for modern construction and decorations.

The unique feature of spider fitting glass system lies in its flexibility, forming a structure that enables glass to bend under wind pressure. When glass has equal thickness, this installation method helps to install larger area of glass curtain walls than rigid connection.

Hitech offers Spider Glazing in DGU or single glazing is the transparent solution. Spider glass acts as a transition between the building and the outside or a partition between two interior sections. A high-technology product easy to set up and perfect for contemporary architecture.

Why Spider Glazing from Hitech
  • Large and fully smooth glazed area
  • Doors and windows can be inserted in a spider glass façade
  • Excellent adaptation to local requirements.
  • Full daylight on all sides.
  • Double and single glazing.

Point Fixing Bolts
These are also known as Routels, Articulated Bolts, Swivel bolts etc.
Point Fixing Bolts are of two types: Fixed and Swivel. These can be used for fixing single glazing or double glazing of various thicknesses with special ring inserts in DGU. These Bolts are made in Stainless Steel of 316 Grade, on special request other grades can also be provided.
Spider:
The unique feature of spider fitting glass system lies in its flexibility, forming a structure that enables glass to bend under wind pressure. When glass has equal thickness, this installation method helps to install larger area of glass curtain walls than rigid connection.
Conditions for use:
  • It is strictly prohibited to use above 320ºC
  • Tension Rods/cables should not be cut or bent while in use.
  • Anticorrosive measures should be taken when they are used in corrosive environment.
Accessories:
Accessories and odd fittings required for the entire structure are also available.
Some of these parts are custom designed and made for specific projects.

The material used depends on the specific requirements of the project or the application. Some of the parts are Stainless Steel 304 or 316 Grade, however MS, Carbon Steel etc is also used for different applications.
