The length of the barrel determines how far away from the wall your sign or artwork will sit. The edge grip variety of stand-off mounts do not require your glass piece to have holes drilled into it. The edges of the glass are gripped by a channel in the mount.
Be sure to select an anchor style that matches your room decor and wall material (masonry, drywall, etc. ). If you have a glass art work that is irregular in thickness, purchase edge grip mounts that are adjustable. If your piece is uniform, measure the thickness and buy mounts that have a channel that matches.
The distance between the top 2 marks should be the same as the distance between the bottom 2 marks. The wider the glass is, the farther you can come in from the corner.
It’s easiest to have someone help you with this part.
Make sure your drill bit size matches the anchor size!
Before you tighten the screw down all the way, check to make sure the channel side is straight and facing the right direction.
If the glass is not sliding into all 4 channels, check to make sure the channels are all lined up parallel to the floor. Loosen the screws to adjust if necessary.
Mirror clips show on the front of the mirror, so select a shape, size, color, and finish that works with your space. Buy a kit that is made for your wall material (dry wall, masonry, etc. ).
You’ll need to anchor the mirror to a stud for secure installation. You may want to get an assistant to help you locate and mark the studs.
The marks should connect to make a line parallel to the floor and that line should be the same width as your glass.
Don’t come in so far that the distance between the mounts is less than the rest of the width of the mirror.
Make sure to use a drill bit that is the same size as your anchors. Before you tighten the screw down all the way, take the time to make sure the clip channel is straight.
Take the time to make sure the channel of the clip is parallel to the floor before you tighten the screw all the way down.
Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands during the final installation.
If you make a mistake and want to reposition the mount, simply peel it off and start again.
