Introduction

Plate-Supported Spider Glass Curtain Wall Overview

The plate-supported spider glass curtain wall system enhances traditional point-supported glazing by integrating stainless steel back plates between the spider fittings and the supporting structure. This design improves load distribution and structural rigidity while maintaining a frameless glass facade, making it suitable for projects with higher performance requirements.

Benefits

Why Use Plate-Supported Spider Curtain Wall Systems

  • Reinforced Connection with Back Plate Support

    The addition of stainless steel back plates improves load transfer and structural stability, especially in large-span or high-load applications.

  • Higher Wind Load Resistance for Challenging Projects

    Designed to withstand greater wind pressure compared to standard spider systems, making it suitable for exposed building facades.

  • Maintains Frameless Glass Appearance

    Despite the reinforced structure, the exterior remains visually clean with minimal visible components.

  • Suitable for Larger Glass Panels and Complex Structures

    Allows the use of larger glass sizes and supports more demanding architectural designs.

Standard

Plate-Supported Spider System Design Options

The system supports different spider arm configurations combined with custom back plate designs to meet various structural and aesthetic requirements. Glass types can include laminated or insulated glass depending on safety and performance needs.

Stainless steel components are available in 304 and 316 grades for different environmental conditions. The connection system can be engineered to match steel structures or other supporting frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the differences between standard spider systems and reinforced configurations is important when selecting a facade solution. Below are answers to common questions.

What is a plate-supported spider curtain wall system?
It is a spider glass system that uses additional back plates to improve structural support and load distribution.
How does it differ from a standard spider system?
Standard systems connect directly with spider fittings, while this system adds a back plate for enhanced strength and stability.
Is it suitable for high-rise buildings?
Yes, it provides improved structural performance, making it suitable for projects with higher load requirements.
Can it support larger glass panels?
Yes, the reinforced structure allows for larger panel sizes compared to standard point-supported systems.
What materials are used for the fittings?
High-strength stainless steel, typically 304 or 316 grade, is used for durability and corrosion resistance.
