Spider Glazing principle:- Point-fixed structural glazing systems are

the ideal solution for architects striving toachieve maximum light and transparency

within large areas. The underlyingprinciple is simple: holes are drilled in thepanes of glass, which are then attacheddirectly to a load-bearing structure usingspecially designed metal fittings. The joinsbetween the panes of glass are sealedwith a silicone mastic, sometimes

supplemented with extruded seals.
