Point-Supported Curtain Wall System

Maximize transparency with minimal structural visibility, delivering open architectural expression and high-end façade performance.

Introduction

Point-Supported Curtain Wall Systems

Point-supported curtain wall systems use stainless steel fittings or spider connectors to fix glass panels directly to the supporting structure, eliminating traditional frames. This creates a highly transparent façade with minimal visual obstruction, making it ideal for projects that emphasize openness, daylight, and architectural impact.

Point-Supported Curtain Wall Options

  • Spider Glass System
  • Cable-Supported Glass System
  • Rod-Supported Glass System
  • Point-Supported Glass Wall with Fin Support

  • Spider Glass System

    Glass panels are fixed using stainless steel spider fittings, creating a lightweight and visually open façade. This is the most common solution for atriums, entrances, and large-span glazing areas.

  • Cable-Supported Glass System

    Glass panels are supported by high-tension cable structures, allowing for ultra-light façades with maximum transparency. It is often used in large curtain walls where minimal structural presence is required.

  • Rod-Supported Glass System

    Using steel rods instead of cables, this system provides higher rigidity while maintaining a clean and transparent appearance. It is suitable for projects requiring both structural stability and design clarity.

  • Point-Supported Glass Wall with Fin Support

    Glass fins act as vertical supports, enhancing structural strength while keeping the façade visually minimal. This system is commonly used in high-performance glass walls and large lobby façades.
