Point-Fixed Glass Fittings Enquiry Guide

Point-fixed glass fittings are often searched by the visible component name. For a project enquiry, however, the most useful starting point is the glass application and the connection that must be made. This guide keeps the first conversation clear without presenting a component list as a finished structural design.

The short answer

State whether the project is a point-supported façade, a glass connection, a hanging condition or another fixed-glass application. Send the glass schedule or drawing, support material/interface, available hole information, fixing layout and quantity. Ask for a product direction first; final selection requires confirmation against the actual project condition.

1. Name the glass application first

“Point-fixed glass fittings” can refer to several product routes. A floating-head routel, a spider fitting, a clamp and a tie-rod support do not perform the same connection task. Start the enquiry by naming the application and support condition rather than selecting only by appearance.

Use project photos or drawings to identify:

• glass-to-structure, glass-to-glass or glass-to-fin connection;
• whether the connection is for a façade, canopy, partition or another application;
• the number and position of visible fixing points;
• the supporting structure or interface that the fitting must connect to.

2. Prepare the glass and support information

Glass condition and support information are separate inputs. Provide the glass build-up and any hole schedule/drawing available, then show the support material, connection face and access condition. If the precise information is not yet known, mark the gaps so they can be treated as confirmation items rather than assumptions.

3. Choose a product route, not an engineering conclusion

The curtain wall hardware range is organized around point-fixed fittings, spider fittings, glass clamps and tie-rod supports. Use its product families to identify the route that matches the connection. For example, the floating-head routel reference can be a useful starting point when the drawing already indicates a routel-style connection.

That is not a statement that any listed fitting is approved for the project. Fenrova needs the actual glass and support inputs before confirming model, geometry, fixing route or project suitability. This is especially important where the enquiry includes only a façade rendering.

What to include in the enquiry

Send a clear PDF, elevation, glass schedule or set of annotated photos. Add the project location, quantity, preferred finish and expected timing. If the information comes from several parties, identify which details are preliminary so the product route can be separated from conditions requiring further confirmation.

For public reference material, start with technical drawings. For a live project condition, use project matching. If the requirement is for a glass railing rather than a façade connection, see the separate glass railing hardware for stairs guide.
