Spider Glazing & Glass Canopy
Point-fixed structural spider glazing, frameless glass facades, entrance canopies and skylights — engineered, supplied and installed for commercial buildings across Chennai and Tamil Nadu.
Structural Spider Glazing for Bold, Transparent Facades
Spider glazing is a point-supported structural glazing system where toughened glass panels are fixed at their corners with stainless-steel ‘spider’ fittings instead of a continuous frame. The result is a sleek, near-frameless glass facade with maximum transparency and natural light — the signature look of modern corporate buildings, malls and hotels.
Sri Sai Architectural provides complete spider glazing and glass canopy solutions — structural design and engineering, glass and hardware supply, fabrication and precise on-site installation — for facades, atriums, skylights and entrance canopies across Tamil Nadu.

Spider Glazing & Structural Glass Systems
From point-fixed facades to overhead canopies and skylights, we design and install the full range of structural glazing systems.
Point-Fixed Spider Glazing
Toughened glass bolted at the corners with spider fittings for a minimal-frame facade.
Frameless Structural Glass Facade
Full-height transparent curtain walls with structural silicone sealing.
Glass Canopies & Entrance Canopies
Overhead glass canopies on spider fittings and tension rods for entrances.
Skylights & Roof Glazing
Overhead glazing that floods atriums and lobbies with daylight.
Glass Fin Glazing
Glass fins as structural supports for an all-glass, column-free look.
Spider Glazing System Components
A spider glazing system combines precision-engineered hardware with structural glass to carry loads through discrete fixing points rather than a frame.
Spider Fittings / Routels
Two-, three- or four-arm SS 304/316 brackets that grip the glass at its corners.
Bolts & Patch Plates
Countersunk or button bolts and patch plates that transfer glass loads to the spider.
Tension Rods & Cable Trusses
Slender steel rods and cables that brace tall facades and canopies against wind.
Structural Glass Fins
Vertical glass fins act as transparent stiffeners, replacing steel or aluminium mullions.
Toughened / Laminated Glass
Heat-strengthened safety glass, laminated where overhead or extra safety is required.
Structural Silicone Sealant
Weather-grade silicone seals the joints and keeps the facade fully watertight.
