Spider & Cable System
Structural spider fittings and stainless steel cable systems for point-fixed glass facades and feature walls.
Overview
Spider and cable systems achieve the most transparent glass facade possible — glass panels supported only at drilled point fixings, with no visible frame interrupting the view.
Our stainless steel spider fittings and tension cable rigs are engineered to carry the weight and wind loads of the installation, and the glass is specified accordingly. Applications include building facades, atrium walls, staircase balustrades, and large interior feature walls.

Frequently asked questions
How is glass held in place without a visible frame in a spider system?
Stainless steel spider fittings clamp the glass at drilled point fixings, with the load carried back through tension cables or rods to the structure — no continuous frame is needed.
Is a spider glazing system as weatherproof as a framed facade?
With correctly detailed silicone jointing between panels, yes — the joints are designed and tested for the building's wind and water exposure.
Can a spider system be used indoors as well as on an exterior facade?
Yes — it's equally common as an interior feature wall or staircase balustrade where the transparent, frameless look is the main draw.
