Point-Fixed Spigot Fittings
Experience the strength of structural glass railing supported by point-fixed spigot fittings. This advanced system relies on precision-engineered spigots to bear the load, allowing for large, continuous spans of glass with no intermediate posts. The fittings are designed to handle significant structural stress, making them ideal for commercial atriums, high-end residences, and public spaces. Combined with laminated or tempered safety glass, it offers a robust, code-compliant barrier. The technical sophistication delivers an exceptionally clean look, showcasing glass as both a safety element and a striking architectural feature that defines modern spaces.
The Engineering Behind the Invisible Support
At the heart of this system are precision-machined, load-bearing spigot fittings, typically crafted from high-grade stainless steel. These fittings are bolted through the glass at discrete points and anchored to the underlying structure, forming a rigid connection that bears all lateral and live loads. This advanced engineering allows for dramatic, uninterrupted expanses of glass without intermediate posts, achieving a purity of form that is both technically sophisticated and visually breathtaking. The fittings are engineered to manage structural stress, thermal movement, and dynamic forces, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
A Robust, Code-Compliant Safety Solution
This is not a minimalist compromise on safety; it is an engineered enhancement. Paired with thick, laminated or fully tempered safety glass, the system forms an exceptionally robust barrier that meets or exceeds the most stringent commercial and residential building codes for impact resistance and load-bearing capacity. It provides peace of mind for high-traffic public areas, multi-story atriums, and residential applications alike.
The Ultimate Architectural Statement
The result is an exceptionally clean, "floating" aesthetic where the architecture and view take absolute precedence. By minimizing hardware and eliminating visual interruptions, the system showcases glass in its most powerful form—as a defining, luminous plane. It transforms spaces by allowing light to flood through and sightlines to extend unimpeded, making it ideal for:
-
Grand Commercial Atriums & Lobbies
-
High-End Residential Balconies & Staircases
-
Museums, Galleries & Public Landmarks
Technical Sophistication for Discerning Projects
We provide full engineering support, from custom calculations for wind and load requirements to the specification of specialized fittings (such as patch fittings, clamp units, or bolted spider systems). Each project is tailored to its unique structural conditions and design vision.
