Hanging glass art is a relatively new addition to my business and one that I have been lucky enough to find very successful. I love helping people get the most out of their investment in their collection of glass art.<\/p>\n
I have seen some amazing pieces hung by professionals and others done by amateurs and they all look great. However, they all also share one common pitfall\u2026they are hung too high.<\/p>\n
The reason for this is simple: hanging artwork at eye level makes it look like part of the room and if that is what you are going for, then your job is done. However, if you want the viewer to be able to focus on the piece itself and not necessarily the room, then you will want to hang it lower.<\/p>\n
Having said that, there are many ways to go about doing this and here are a few suggestions that would work in any decor.<\/p>\n
Option 1: If you have a nice picture frame with a wide white mat around your piece, you could put it directly behind it (if there isn’t already a picture there). Ideally choose something that has a soft color so as not to compete with your piece for attention. This works well when you have an accent wall behind the piece, but not if your wall color is very light because<\/p>\n
Hanging glass art, like any other kind of art, is not an exact science. So many variables can affect how it looks when you hang it and what kind of hardware you use. Because of this, there isn’t always a right or wrong way to do it. However, there are some things you can do to maximize the style and effect of your piece.<\/p>\n
TOPS Glass is here to help with that! We are going to show you how to hang glass art with some tried and true techniques that we use when hanging our own glass art pieces and mirrors in our store. We want to help you avoid some common mistakes and get your piece looking the way it deserves! Here is what we suggest:<\/p>\n
1) Consider Your Budget & Where You Want To Put It<\/p>\n
We have said this before, but it bears repeating \u2013 please consider your budget first before purchasing anything! You will also want to take into account where you want your piece hanging, so that you purchase the right hardware for the job. If you plan on doing a DIY installation, make sure you have everything you need on hand (which usually means making sure your studs are accessible). For us at TOPS Glass, we offer smaller hardware kits if a piece just needs hanging up on the wall by<\/p>\n
Hanging glass art can be a tricky proposition. It needs to be at the correct angle, positioned correctly, and secured well. The following will help you on your way to hanging your glass art correctly.<\/p>\n
What is the Correct Angle?<\/p>\n
Try to hang your glass art at an even 45 degrees. This keeps it from falling over and looks clean and professional. Some people choose a 30 degree angle because they feel it makes it look more modern and that there would be less glare, but this is not recommended because then your guests will have trouble seeing all of the piece.<\/p>\n
Why is Glass Art Hung Upside Down?<\/p>\n
The reason why you hang glass art upside down is so that you can view the back of the piece rather than the front. This may seem confusing but there’s a good reason for it. The back of the piece should always be viewed before you buy it rather than after because you will never be able to see the back once it’s hanging up on your wall.<\/p>\n
How Do I Hang Glass Art?<\/p>\n
You need to make sure that you get a professional to hang your glass art for you if you are unsure about what you are doing. They have the right equipment and know how to do it properly so that it doesn’t fall off your wall<\/p>\n
Glass art is a category of artwork that can be displayed in any household or commercial space. It has been popularized by the ability to create extremely beautiful and intricate pieces of artwork that are literally works of art within spaces.<\/p>\n
The purpose for displaying glass art is so that there is something beautiful to look at, just like any other piece of art. The key difference is that it will be functional within the space. This means that there are more considerations when selecting glass art for your space than just the beauty and how much it costs.<\/p>\n
Since glass art is made from glass as its name suggests, then it can be damaged by heat and direct sunlight. Some pieces of artwork are hot formed. This means that the metal is heated and the glass piece is formed from the metal. The metal cools and the glass cools with it. If the metal is hot and exposed to sunlight, then this can cause damage to your painting or sculpture.<\/p>\n
Tropical sunlight is far more intense than sun in temperate or polar regions. As a result, most tropical countries have specific regulations on how art should be hung to avoid damage.<\/p>\n
In some galleries, they may have a designated spot where they allow you to hang your artwork; this allows them to regulate temperature and light exposure. They may charge you an additional fee for this service though, so check before doing it.<\/p>\n
There are also special devices that are used specifically for hanging pieces of art work like paintings and sculptures. These are called hangers in colloquial terms. You can find these at any art supply store or you can search online for art supply stores near you that sell these devices online.*<\/p>\n
If you do not want to buy hangers, then there are other options that you can use to hang your piece of art work without damaging it.
