SPB Fixed Glass Point Holder

The ARGESAN® SPB Stainless Steel Glass Point Holder is one of the flagship solutions in modern architectural glass fixing technology. Engineered to deliver a clean, screw-free visual appearance on the front surface, the SPB model has become a preferred choice among architects, facade engineers, project managers, and installers who seek elegant, secure, and high-performance glass fixing components.

The SPB series is designed as a non-adjustable, fixed glass point holder, specifically optimized for glass thicknesses of 8–22 mm. Manufactured entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, it ensures high resistance to corrosion, structural fatigue, and environmental exposure. With its side-fixing mechanism, the SPB holder guarantees a fully smooth outer face — a feature highly appreciated in high-end architectural projects where minimalism and visual purity are essential.

Unlike front-fixing point holders, where the screw head remains visible, the SPB holder performs the clamping operation from the side. This engineering detail transforms the product into a premium option without increasing the cost to an unreasonable range. Therefore, SPB is widely accepted as a price-performance leader in the global market of stainless steel glass point systems.

 

Structural Purpose and Architectural Role

Glass point holders are crucial load-bearing components that enable modern architectural trends such as:

• Frameless glass facades
• Transparent exterior surfaces
• Minimalist interior partitions
• Stainless steel spider systems
• Modular glass railings and balustrades
• Shower cabins & interior glass fittings
• Retail storefront glazing
• Hotel and lobby concept walls

The SPB model, with its hidden side-fixing mechanism, achieves a level of design clarity that eliminates visual interruptions and helps maintain a seamless facade surface.

Especially in corporate buildings, luxury residences, hotel receptions, airports, shopping malls, and prestigious urban developments, architects often seek a solution that ensures both minimal appearance and secure mechanical performance. The SPB is engineered precisely to meet these requirements.

 

Material Engineering – AISI 304 Stainless Steel

ARGESAN® sources its stainless steel materials from certified European suppliers. Each SPB glass holder is machined from solid AISI 304 stainless steel rods. The material is known for:

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Durability in humid or outdoor environments
• Non-magnetic structural stability
• Long-term surface quality in polished (mirror) and satin finishes
• High tensile and yield strength

AISI 304 provides the ideal balance between affordability and mechanical performance. For extremely aggressive marine environments, AISI 316 versions can also be produced upon request.

What Makes SPB Different from SPA?

Although SPB and SPA appear similar, their fixing mechanisms and visual designs differ significantly:

SPA – Front Fixing

• Screw head is visible from the outside
• Fast installation
• Widely used for standard projects

SPB – Side Fixing

• Screw is completely hidden
• Front surface is perfectly smooth
• Creates a premium, high-end appearance
• Preferred in corporate and luxury projects

Therefore, SPB is considered the aesthetic upgrade of the SPA model while maintaining similar price levels.

 

Plastic Glass Protection System

Glass integrity is critical. Therefore, SPB holders include high-density plastic gaskets, which:

• Prevent direct metal-to-glass contact
• Absorb micro vibrations
• Enhance long-term durability
• Are UV, temperature, and moisture resistant
• Do not harden over time

ARGESAN®’s plastic compounds follow international architectural hardware durability standards.

 

Installation Advantages

The SPB series offers several installation benefits:

• Easy alignment
• Safe tightening from the side
• No visual hardware exposure
• Uniform glass spacing
• Reduced installation errors
• Perfect compatibility with stainless steel spiders

Professional installers prefer SPB because it reduces the risk of leaving tool marks or scratches on the exposed front surface.

 

Where SPB is Used?

The product has a broad application range, including:

Facade Systems

• Commercial building cladding
• Curtain-wall glass reinforcement
• Atrium glazing

Interior Architecture

• Office partitions
• Shopping mall storefronts
• Glass corridor separators

Balustrade & Railing Systems

• Pool glass railings
• Staircase side glass panels
• Balcony safety systems

Special Constructions

• Museums
• Galleries
• Transparent exhibition platforms

SPB is engineered to offer both robustness and elegance in every architectural context.

 

Side-Fixing Mechanism: Why It Matters

While front-fixing point holders (e.g., SPA series) are widely used, the SPB’s side-fixing mechanism introduces several engineering benefits:

1 Superior Aesthetic Minimalism

By eliminating visible front screws, the outer surface of the glass retains a clean, uninterrupted appearance. This enhances the visual purity of:

• Corporate facade glazing
• Showroom entrances
• Hotel lobbies
• Luxury storefronts

It creates an architectural identity where hardware becomes “invisible.”

 

2 Reduced Glass Stress Points

Side-fixing also prevents over-tightening directly from the front, reducing the risk of:

• Glass chipping
• Cracking
• Hole deformation

3 Maintenance Convenience

In case of replacement or alignment, installers access the fastening screw from the side, ensuring no disturbance of the visible surface.
