Invader75 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Afternoon folks. I'm after some help. We have a big stained glass window in our hall/stairs area of a 1930's semi. When we moved it had glass secondary glazing installed. I removed them to clean and repair the existing windows. Unfortunately this was a while a go and I've managed to lose the fixings to hold the glass panels in place. Does anyone know what they're called and what I should be looking for? As they're glass they need to be substantial. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invader75 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I saw these but was concerned they might not be strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the strength will depend mostly on the screw, how secure it is in the wood and how many along the bottom. The plastic is just to protect the glass edge from the screw. Tiny stress cracks can cause toughened glass to shatter. For same reason never stand toughened glass on concrete, tiles or stone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I'll order some and see if they work. 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
