French Cleats or Hanging glass panels
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2015 6:33 pm
Hello everybody,
happy holidays ....
I am supposed to hang 3 glass panels,one above the other. They are about 13" by 17". Four layers of 3 m'm Bullseye glass. For me, each panel is quite heavy.
Can anyone calculate their weight for me?
The real question however is the way I should present them.
The easiest option is to hang them on appropriate hooks .
But one of my friends told me, the he would have liked to see them hanging without anything on their front. This reminded me of the other option - hanging them on French cleats .
The problem is I do not know if and where I can order cleats here, in Israel. Also I do not know whether I should order them from a blacksmith, or from a plexiglass person. Where can I order French cleats in USA , so that I can get them relatively quick?
Additional problem is. What glue should I be using to glue the part that connects to the glass - that will be strong enough to carry the panels without letting them fall down.
I would be so very grateful for any response that will help me!
Many thanks in advance,
HaVi
