FRAMELESS GLAZING USING

SPIDER FITTINS & PATCH FITTINGS

• TOUGHENED GLASS IS 5 TIMES STRONGER THAN ORDINARY
GLASS. (AS SRONG AS BLOCKBOARD)

• SINGLE HT. SHEETS OF TOUGHENED GLASS (FOR SHOP

WINDOWS) CAN BE BUTTED AT THEIR VERTICAL EDGES.

• 12 MM THICK VERTICAL FINS AT JUNCTION OF GLASS CAN BE

FIXED TO GIVE LATERAL STABILITY FOR THE GLASS.

• THE JOINTS CAN BE BONDED WITH SILICONE SEALENT.

 SUSPENDED MULTI PANEL ASSEMBLIES
• GLASS WALLS UPTO 75 FEET HT (23meters) AND UNLIMETED LENGTH CAN BE MADE USING
12 mm THICK PANELS AND 19mm MULLIONS / FINS OUT OF TOUGHENED FLOAT GLASS.

• OWING TO LARGE SIZE, THE PANES HAVE TO BE MECHANICALLY JOINED TOGETHER AT

CORNERS USING PATCH FITTINGS.

• THE PANELS SUSPENDED FROM TOP AND PERIMETER EMBEDED INTO THE AL. CHANNEL
ALLOWS THE MOVEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY INDIPENDENTLY OF THE STRUCTURE AND
ACCOMMODATE TOLARENCE BETWEEN HIGHLY ACCURATE GLASS ASSEMBLIES AND LESS
ACCURATE MAIN STRUCTURE.

• WIND LOAD RESISTED BY RC STRUCTURE, 19 mm TH GLASS FINS, OR SPACE FRAME

SUPPORTED AT THE JUNCTION OF GLASS PANES.

• FIBER GASKET AND PLASTIC BUSHES ELIMINATE CONTACT BETWEEN METAL AND GLASS.

• HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL BUTT JOINTS SEALED BY SILICONE SEALENT

 SIZES OF GLASS
 SIZES OF TOUGHENED GLASS : 3.6X2.1M; 4X2M; 4.2X2M ETC.

THE SIZE DEPENDS ON:

 ALLOWABLE DEFLCTION & STRESSES.
 SIZE OF TOUGHENING BATH.
 GOATING OR TINTING OF GLASS
ETC.
