Spider glass facade

DESIGN – CONSTRUCTION – INSTALLATION OF SPIDER GLASS FACADE SYSTEM

Currently, the Spider facade system is suitable for commercial centers, the lower floors of high-rise buildings, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, showrooms, cinemas, etc. Let’s explore useful information about the Spider aluminum glass facade system and the famous Spider glass facade projects that Toan Cau company has completed.

What is a Spider Glass Facade?

A Spider glass facade is an innovative method of assembling bolted glass and integrating it into an all-glass structure. A Spider glass system consists of large glass panels connected by connectors. The size of the glass panel depends on the customer’s requirements and the design plan. The Spider glass system uses bolts and frames.

Structure of the Spider Glass Facade System

The Spider system has a very special structure, using spider fittings instead of a frame. Additionally, glass, steel brackets, and adhesives are essential components for creating a Spider glass facade.

Glass

• Uses tempered glass, laminated safety glass, soundproof and heat-insulating double glazing, semi-tempered glass, etc. (currently, most projects use tempered glass and double glazing).

Spider, Routel, Connector, Bolts

• Uses stainless steel materials such as 316, 304, and 402, with various designs and matte or polished surfaces according to customer needs.

Steel Bracket

• Made of structural steel with standard thickness, used to connect the spider to concrete beams or steel columns with load-bearing bolts.

Adhesive

• Uses structural adhesive, waterproofing adhesive, and anti-oxidation adhesive.

Classification of Spider Glass Facade Systems

There are several ways to classify Spider glass facade systems, but the most common are by the number of spider arms, installation methods, and assembly methods.

By Number of Spider Arms

• Facades using 1-arm Spider;
• Facades using 2-arm Spider;
• Facades using 4-arm Spider;
• Facades using 6-arm Spider.

By Installation Method

• Connecting the Spider to beams (steel beams, concrete beams);
• Using glass supports;
• Connecting the Spider with cables.

By Assembly Method

• Routel (Glass Connector);
• Connector (Connection Unit).

Spider Types

• 1-arm Spider;
• 2-arm Spider;
• Various other types like 3-arm Spider, 4-arm Spider, and 6-arm Spider.

Outstanding Features of the Spider Facade System

The Spider facade system has outstanding features that customers can experience when using it. Follow these key features to see if this type of glass facade is suitable for your project.

Transparency of Glass

• The transparency of the glass, combined with the frameless structure, ensures maximum natural light penetration into the building.

Design Flexibility

• The unique features of the Spider facade system lie in its flexibility and minimalistic design, installed at the corners of the glass panels.
• Supports creative architectural design, besides common facade functions, it can also connect glass roofs, glass floors, and glass ceilings.
• Suitable for modern architectural facades.
• Supports a variety of glass types and spider fittings: single glass, laminated glass, and double glazing.

Safety

• The glass used for facades is tempered glass with a system of bolts, screws, and adhesives that do not bear any load. Even when the glass breaks, it does not pose any danger to people.

Aesthetic Appeal

• Suitable for decorating the lobbies of large public buildings and commercial centers, providing a perfect beauty in the vast space of glass architecture.

Environmental Protection and Energy Saving

• The glass used for the Spider facade is mainly clear glass, ultra-clear glass, and low-emissivity glass, which does not cause light pollution. Double glazing significantly saves energy.

Advantages of the Spider Glass Facade System

• The durability of tempered glass is 4-5 times higher than regular glass, helping buildings (especially high-rise ones) withstand wind resistance, impact, vibration, and reduce heat, dust, and noise.
• Maximizes natural light, saving a significant amount of lighting costs.
• The Spider glass facade method does not use aluminum frames, providing an almost unobstructed view, creating an airy and comfortable feeling.
• The structure of the Spider tempered glass facade is very light and flexible, perfectly suitable for most glass cladding surfaces of buildings. The spider fittings are delicately designed, made of durable and light stainless steel.
• Additionally, the Spider facade system enhances the luxurious and modern look, perfectly meeting the high aesthetic requirements of complex design needs.

Features of the Spider Glass Facade System

Here are some intelligent and highly practical features of the Spider facade system for customer reference. This is truly an aluminum glass product that customers can expect and use for high-rise buildings.

Flexibility

One of the main benefits of Spider glass is its flexibility for architectural projects. The standout components of Spider glass are the glass and matching hardware. Both are elastic materials that provide design flexibility.

In addition to structural customizations, Spider glass offers customization in three other areas – performance, thickness, and color. Therefore, architects and designers can let their imagination run wild.

Transparency

Moreover, with the inherent nature of glass, such structures also allow natural light into the interior space, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering energy bills. But the benefits don’t end there. When installed with thermal reflective glass, such systems also enhance the energy efficiency rating of the interiors, maintaining ideal indoor temperatures and reducing the need for heating and cooling systems.

Durability

Surely, an all-glass infrastructure looks great, but can it maintain its appeal over time?

The glass used in Spider glass is not your average brittle glass. It is a high-grade glass manufactured using thermal or chemical processes – tempered glass. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than ordinary annealed glass and can withstand weather fluctuations, external elements, high wind loads, etc.

Furthermore, the Spider glass system can also withstand external pressures. All static and dynamic loads, such as the weight of other glass panels, wind loads, etc., are distributed throughout the structure – making it almost impossible for any force to penetrate the glass.

Spider glass is commonly used in high-density areas, such as shopping centers, crowded complexes, showrooms, hotels, etc. The purpose of such places is to attract as many customers as possible.
