For a heavier window or one that hangs in a way that leaves it open to wind at the side or on the front of a porch for example i d use d rings and chain instead.
Hanging windows on walls.
So here it is a little how to on hanging vintage windows.
We have a big bare wall in the main living space in the house so i ecided to put all of my old windows to use and make a gallery wall out of them.
Most wall framing is covered with drywall that typically measures 1 2 or 5 8 inch thick.
I have a window i still need to hang and i want to add more but i still love it now even not finished.
To hang lightweight and medium weight objects you need only pierce this.
It comes with everything you ll need.
Like i mentioned before these windows are relatively lightweight and i usually hang them flush against a wall so i use the hooks and eyes with picture hanging wire to hang them.
I am not a professional by any means so do your research.
First let me show you how my wall is looking these days.
The windows were hung with french cleats.
This part goes on the wall.
One part of the cleat goes in the wall the other on the window.
Pictures mirrors shelves lamps tools sports equipment the list of items you can hang on walls is almost endless to keep them hanging where they belong you need to choose the proper fastener and install it in the proper way.
