Creating Glass Structures using Patch Fittings

  • Patch fittings are essential architectural hardware components, crafted from premium materials, that connect and support structural glass assemblies such as door systems.
  • Unlike conventional doors that rely on full metal or timber frames, patch fittings directly support the glass, creating a sleek, modern, and transparent aesthetic.
  • They are widely used for glass doors, partitions, and facades in both residential and commercial buildings.
  • The system includes various parts like pivots, hinges, locks, and corner connectors, offering a comprehensive solution for diverse glass installations.
  • GlassParts provides a wide selection of patch fittings, enabling customers to install structurally sound and visually appealing glass door assemblies.


Key Characteristics and Functions
  • Frameless Design: Patch fittings are crucial for achieving frameless glass designs, contributing to a minimalist and open look.
  • Secure Connection: They are engineered to securely join multiple panes of glass, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
  • Variety of Components: The system comprises different types of fittings for various functions, including:
    • Hydraulic Bottom Patch Fitting: Connects the bottom corner of a glass door to the floor.
    • Top Patch Fitting: Connects the top corner of a glass door to the transom.
    • Overpanel/Sidepanel Patch Fitting: Joins fixed glass panels (transoms and side panels) to support the door and minimize deflection.
    • Corner Lock: Provides a locking mechanism for frameless glass doors, often installed at the bottom or side corners.
  • Premium Quality: These fittings are typically made from high-quality materials like stainless steel, ensuring durability and a premium finish.
  • Versatility: They are used in a variety of settings — from residential interiors to large-scale commercial projects and high-traffic building facades. Patch fittings come in various shapes, sizes, and finishes to accommodate different glass thicknesses, door weights, and design preferences.
Applications
  • Glass Doors: They are a popular and reliable choice for fitting toughened glass doors, ranging from internal room dividers to main entrances of commercial buildings.
  • Other Glass Assemblies: They are also used in other architectural glass applications, such as overpanel glass and fixed glass partitions.
