FX SPIDER FACADE

What is the FX Spider System?

The FX Spider System is a structural glazing solution that uses specially designed metal fasteners, known as spider hardware. This system allows the glass to be fastened without visible frames, achieving a clean and elegant design.

The weight of the glass and external forces such as wind, rain and earthquakes are supported by structural elements such as tubular elements and tensors, which guarantee stability and resistance.

Advantages of Suspended Glass in Modern Architecture

The concept of suspended glass has become an architectural expression that maximizes transparency and integration with the environment. Some of its main advantages are:

Minimalist and sophisticated design: eliminates the need for visible frames.

Maximum entry of natural light, favoring interior illumination.

Greater feeling of spaciousness in open spaces.

High structural resistance, withstanding wind loads and extreme environmental factors. Versatility in design, adaptable to different structures and architectural styles.

LARGE DIMENSIONS

The Extralum curtain wall optimizes solutions for commercial, institutional or residential buildings, whether in new construction or renovation, always with the security of our safety glass or DVH.

APPLICATIONS DIVERSITY

We have different modulations according to the needs of the project, it can be fixed on the main structure, on metallic tubes or by means of tensioning devices.

MODERN AND TRANSLUCENT

Provides maximum transparency and brilliance of architectural design.

Spider Facade System Applications:

This system can be installed in applications such as Offices and commercial buildings.

Components FX Spider façade:

This system is composed of several key elements that guarantee its stability and avant-garde design. These elements have a chrome-plated finish (PS), are made of AISI 304 steel and have a high resistance to corrosion.

Applications FX Spider facade:

The FX Spider Extralum System is ideal for projects that seek innovation and elegance. It is used in:

Structural glass facades in corporate and commercial buildings.

Curtain walls and interior partitions in modern offices and spaces.

Glazing systems in airports, hotels and shopping centers.

Large format spaces, where maximum transparency and structural stability are required.

Features of the Spider Facade System:

Provide transparency, protective elements and structural glass walls.

With the help of the hinge system, curved facades with different degrees of curvature can be constructed.

The system can also be used on roofs

Very suitable for the presentation of ceiling, floor and wall themes.

Provides maximum transparency and brilliance of architectural design.

The facade allows multiple uses in the structure of light facades.

Depending on the design requirements, it allows the use of various fastening screws and flat or hinged hinges.

It provides transparency, is not protected by elements and is also a structural wall.

It is the perfect choice when customers just want to have a glass curtain wall on the outside.

It makes the project more transparent and shows a more current and modern look at a technical level.

Among the glasses that can be used are:

FUERTEX safety glass in thicknesses: 10 and 12 mm
VILAX laminated glass configuration: 66.4

Restrictions

For the proper operation of the system, the following must be verified:

The weight of each glass unit.

The wind speed that will be exposed.

Where the spiders will be installed initially (main structure, pipes and cables)

It cannot be combined with another system of lower performance.

Installation tips Spider Facade System

Structures can be made of aluminum, concrete, stainless steel, carbon steel, with straight or cylindrical cross-sections, steel or laminated glass cables and extenders.

For its installation, it is recommended to use laminated tempered glass, whose wall thickness depends on multiple studies, such as the location, size and wind of the structure.

For the realization of the system, it is necessary to develop a specific project to define the type and size of the main structure of the spider to be fixed.

To better seal the system, it is recommended to use structural silicone gaskets to avoid damaging them.
