What It Is

What Is a Point-Supported Skylight System?

Point-supported skylight systems use minimal support framing, reducing visible barriers and providing an excellent view and the maximum amount of sunlight. How do they work?

Using our combination spider system, glass is supported with stainless spiders of two, three, and four point attachments based on project requirements. Spiders are available with swivel head configurations for adjustment to accommodate up to 6 degrees of angle change, eliminating the need for sharp right angles in the design. Mounting fittings are available as button heads or recessed flat heads.

Every project is engineered to determine the allowable glass size, glass makeup, and finish conditions to match surrounding architectural components.

Benefits

Benefits of Point-Supported Skylight Systems

If you’re looking for an innovative solution for overhead glazing outside the traditional structurally supported framework, then we recommend using our point-supported skylight system utilizing stainless steel spider fittings and rotules.

This system allows water to flow off the skylight unimpeded, thus eliminating standing water and debris that may otherwise form. Our engineers will design the appropriate spiders and glass to meet the requirements of your individual project. The components of the system may be polished or satin stainless steel and rotules can either be countersunk or buttonhead.

Benefits of point-supported skylight systems include:

Unique, modern design
Minimalist mounting system allows in more light
Eliminates standing water and debris
Glass “floats” above or below the structure
Ideal for complex geometric designs
