Introduction

Direct-Connected Spider Glass Facade System

The direct-connected spider glass curtain wall system eliminates intermediate connection components by fixing spider fittings directly onto structural elements such as steel columns or support rods. This results in a more efficient load transfer path and a cleaner structural layout, making it ideal for projects emphasizing simplicity and structural clarity.

Benefits

Best Applications for Direct-Connected Spider Curtain Wall Systems

Direct Load Transfer for Structural Efficiency

Loads are transferred directly to the main structure, reducing connection complexity and improving overall efficiency.
Minimal Components for Clean Installation

By removing additional plates or brackets, the system simplifies installation and reduces visual clutter.
Compact Connection Design

The connection nodes are more compact, allowing a cleaner and more refined facade appearance.
Suitable for Exposed Structural Designs

Works well in architectural concepts where structural elements are intentionally visible.

Standard

Direct-Connected Spider System Design Options

The system supports various spider arm configurations and can be directly mounted onto steel columns, round pipes, or structural rods depending on project design. Glass options include laminated or insulated glass to meet safety and thermal requirements.

Stainless steel fittings are available in 304 and 316 grades to ensure durability across different environments. The system can be engineered to match exposed structural frameworks or concealed support systems.
