Choose Quantity
Stella offers a range of Standard Glass Bolts, from Light to Heavy Duty, depending on the size and the demands of your installation. Review our range and see which is right for your application.
These Glass Bolts is not “locked in their ways”
Use Articulating Bolts for More System Flex or a Curved Glass Effect. Articulating bolts reduce stresses in the glass by allowing up to 7.5 degrees of articulation. This also allows you to create sloping canopies, walls and any application where the surface appears curved, made of flat pieces of glass.
We promise you’ll be thankful for those extra few degrees when adding slope to your canopies or giving you room for site condition adjustments.
Articulation offers all the adjustability that you hope you won’t need on site but invariably do. Rely on this bolt’s in/out adjustability of 6mm [1/4”] for those unexpected surprises in site tolerances.
Don’t take out word for it – check with your engineer.
Seriously…check with your engineer on all your projects (that’s the synopsis of our fine/legal print).
