Glass Hanging Hardware

Post by Dennis Davis »

Since the hardware I'm looking for is on the address signs at Larry White's "Wall Jewelry" site, I could just my inquiry directly to him. I figure that if I inquire via the forum, others will benefit from the answers posted. That said, can any of you provide me with suppliers for hardware used in hanging unframed glass, mainly 1/4 inch plate.

I inquired at a local stained glass this afternoon and she strongly recommended that I don't drill the glass. Her thoughts were that I would be creating a 360 degree point of weakness in the glass. Although I appreciate her concern, I really don't want to wrap small glass etching with came and attach hangers to that.

Any suggestions and recommendations will be appreciated.

Try Esoteric Sign Supply. Rick had a bunch made up and his brothers probably still have a pile of them.

Rodrick,

How large a 1/4" glass have you hung you using the hangers from Esoteric?
