Steel Truss Point Supported Spider Glass Curtain Wall System - China Suppliers & Factory
A glass curtain wall featuring panels and support structures made entirely of glass, with glass ribs suspended from the main structure. Connection plates or steel spiders are mounted on the glass ribs, and the corners of the panel glass are drilled to allow bolts in the steel claws to be threaded through and tightened.
The steel truss point-supported glass curtain wall utilizes a truss support structure, comprising chord member, vertical web members, and diagonal web members. The tension and compression of the truss members and the net structure leverage the material's tensile and compressive properties to resist loads.
The cable-stayed glass curtain wall is supported by a flexible stainless steel cable structure rather than a rigid truss structure. The point-supported full glass curtain wall, connected by cables, utilizes a pre-stress double-cable structure that is typically designed to be symmetrical. This design accounts for the need of the curtain wall to withstand both positive and negative wind pressure. In positive wind pressure, the load-bearing cables become stability cables in negative wind pressure, while in negative wind pressure, the load-bearing cables serve as stability cables in positive wind pressure.
"The cable-supported glass curtain wall is upheld by a flexible cable structure rather than a rigid truss structure. The point-connected full glass curtain wall with cables adopts a pre-stressed double-layer suspension structure. It is typically designed to be symmetrical because the curtain wall must withstand both positive and negative wind pressures. The tension cables that handle positive wind pressure become stability cables when facing negative wind pressure, while the tension cables that handle negative wind pressure become stability cables in the presence of positive wind pressure."
A full glass curtain wall offers the advantage of eliminating glass curvature caused by its own weight, resulting in a visually appealing and transparent space with a safe and reliable effect. Its load-bearing capacity primarily relies on metal clamps.

1. The primary factors contributing to the deformation of the building's structural framework include construction errors, uneven settlement, continuous micro-vibrations post-installation, and seismic events. Unitized curtain walls are assembled by interlocking adjacent panels, offering exceptional elongation and deformation capabilities.
2. Each unit panel in a unitized curtain wall is a self-contained entity, resulting in minimal relative displacement of individual components within each panel. Even after undergoing elongation and deformation, the integrity of the panel remains intact.
3. As unitized curtain walls are prefabricated off-site, they can be directly installed upon delivery without requiring extensive on-site storage space. Compared to traditional stick frame curtain walls, they occupy approximately 30% less site storage area and effectively reduce scrap rates associated with semi-finished products.
The unitized exposed frame glass curtain wall system, unitized invisible frame glass curtain wall system, and unitized semi exposed frame glass curtain wall system possess the following features:
- All unit modules are precision-assembled in the factory workshop to ensure high assembly accuracy.
- Rapid installation speed and short construction period facilitate efficient protection of the finished product.
- Simultaneous construction with the building's main structure contributes to an overall reduction in the building's construction period.
- The structure employs a gradual pressure relief principle and incorporates an internal drainage system to effectively prevent rainwater seepage and air infiltration.
- Special weather-resistant rubber strips seal all panel seams, promoting self-cleaning of the curtain wall and reducing surface pollution.
- Panel connection via plug-in connections enhances earthquake resistance of the curtain wall.

It is a curtain wall system featuring panels and support structures made entirely of glass. The glass ribs are suspended from the main structure, with connection plates or steel spiders mounted on them. The corners of the panel glass are drilled so that bolts in the steel claws can be threaded through and tightened.
This system utilizes a truss support structure made of chord members, vertical web members, and diagonal web members. It leverages the material's tensile and compressive properties to effectively resist external loads.
They adopt a pre-stressed double-layer suspension structure designed symmetrically. The tension cables that handle positive wind pressure act as stability cables when facing negative wind pressure, and vice versa, allowing the system to withstand wind loads from both directions.
Since unitized curtain walls are prefabricated off-site, they can be directly installed upon delivery. This reduces site storage space requirements by approximately 30% compared to traditional stick frame curtain walls and helps lower scrap rates of semi-finished products.
The structure employs a gradual pressure relief principle along with an internal drainage system to effectively prevent rainwater seepage and air infiltration. Additionally, special weather-resistant rubber strips seal all panel seams to promote self-cleaning.
