This is the back (obviously). It is about 12"x18" and weighs about 6 lbs.
I'm pretty sure the holes near the miters are not for hanging, but just from production. But the little tabs welded on... are they meant for hanging?
How would you hang this?
I suppose those frame hole could be used to hang the mirror. But I would use all 4 of them and use a screw head that is almost the same size as the hole.
The other choice is to wrap picture hanging wire around those cleats (you should be able to slip the wire under and around them) and hang oi loose against a wall. Not ideal!
I own a 1989 mobile home that we use for a camp. The home has single pane windows with a single pane of glass with an aluminum frame that clips on the inside of the framed window opening for a storm window. We never use the camp in winter but it sure is nice to have storm windows in the fall and early spring. I accidently dropped one of these storm windows as I removed it last year and it broke. I currently don't have the exact size being that I'm 3 hours from camp, but what I do know is that it is 1/16 single strength glass with a rubber seal that fits inside of an aluminum frame.
I recently took the frame to a glass shop and they told me that they can't replace the glass with single strength, only safety glass "by law". I researched the building code and from what I see, this may not apply if the glass is higher than 18" above the floor, which in my case it is. But.... there was something else about 9 square feet that may apply. I currently can't get a measurement but from what I remember, it is very slightly larger than 9 square feet.
I really don't want to go plexiglass, especially with the post covid price of plexiglass, and the safety glass is crazy expensive too. Honestly, it may be cheaper to replace the entire window with a thermopane window being that my original windows are all single pane.
Can someone confirm what the actual rules are? Is my glass shop just not wanting to do the job? Is this a real thing and it can't be replaced with single strength? One thing that I can add is the rubber seal that came out of the broken storm window is shot. I did find a source to purchase a new seal, I'm wondering if that may have been the reason that the glass shop didn't want to do it.Read More
Folks,
I've had 3 mirrors installed for 9 days. Each mirror was held up by small wooden blocks. Approx 5 minutes after the block were removed all mirrors slid down the wall and came to rest on the backsplash.
My main question is: Is this product affected by shelf life in that it will never cure off, similar to what can happen with silicone? The contractor managed to move the mirrors back into position, reapplied the small wood support blocks and said to give them a couple more days. I don't know much of anything about Mirror Mastic but 9 days and it won't hold seems 'odd' to say the least. Mirrors are approx 41 in x 36 in. Walls are sound and new Flat interior paint.
ThanksRead More
