Replacing Picture Glass in Broken Picture Frames

Hey!

Today we're going to learn a very important skill that every picture frame expert needs to know. We're going to learn how to replace broken picture glass.

Picture glass can be broken fairly easily--especially if you have kids around the house! With glass picture frames, the entire frame is made out of glass. If it's broken, your only option is to get a new frame. This is one of the downsides to glass frames. For wooden frames, on the other hand, you can easily replace the glass, and in most cases, the photo or painting won't even be damaged!

The first step is to remove the broken glass. Be extra careful when you do this. Broken glass is very sharp, and it is easy to get hurt. Once you've removed all the glass from the frame, be sure to sweep up any glass that fell when you were cleaning. Next, dispose of the glass. After the glass is disposed, it's time to put the replacement in.

Replacement picture glass can be purchased online, or at any DIY home arts and crafts store. Be sure to measure your picture frame before you buy the glass, or else you might end up getting the wrong size. Once you buy the replacement, simply fit it into the notches on your wooden picture frame.

And there you have it! Replacing broken picture glass is very easy. To prevent picture glass from breaking in the first place, here's a few helpful hints.

1. Don't hang picture frames unless they are secured. Many people hang picture frames on small nails. Because of this, a broken picture frame is inevitable. Make sure your frames are stable and have multiple contact points if you're going to be hanging them up.

2. Don't put leaning picture frames on small tables. Often, picture frames are accidentally knocked over. If the frame is on a small table, it can fall and break.

Good luck with your framing!

  8. Good point about making sure picture frames are fitted to walls securely. People think that nails are going to be OK but you can only be sure they're secure with screws.

  10. It is important to use wall plugs and screws if hanging large picture frames due to the weight of the frame. Also check the condition of the wall and check for electrical wiring before you start drilling or nailing.

  13. I agree with your points. In addition, picture frame bought from toronto picture frame dealer can be secured with hook with rivet fastener for walls in which. In contrast, with adhesive based fastener that often falls short of securing picture frames onto walls.

  28. Let us commence a journey into the much travelled topic of custom picture framers. I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of custom picture framers. Though custom picture framers is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, there are just not enough blues songs written about custom picture framers.

  34. My wife and I were rearranging our furniture in the living room when our wedding photo fell off the wall. I need a large 11x14 size frame. The motif of our home is the rustic wood cabin style and we want the frame to continue to add continuity to our home.

  35. The reason that I like glass picture frames is because they make the picture look more lifelike. When you frame something with wood it is just asking to make it look old. Glass is the only thing I will frame a picture with.

  48. Corporate gifts are unlike promotional items in a lot of ways, especially in the value and price of these items. Promotional items are usually given out to the general public in hopes that the business will be promoted to new, potential clients. Promotional items are more generally low value items like Sippers, Tool Kits, Planners & Organizers, Cushions, Photo Frames, Card Holders, Table Top, Folders, Laptop Bags, Combo Gift Sets CORPORATE GIFTS
