Most wall framing is covered with drywall that typically measures 1 2 or 5 8 inch thick.
Hanging windows on walls.
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.
I am not a professional by any means so do your research.
This part goes on the wall.
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.
So here it is a little how to on hanging vintage windows.
Twist one picture framing eye hook into the sash at the left pencil mark but centered across the width of the left side of the window frame.
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.
I am going to show you how it worked for me.
It comes with everything you ll need.
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.
The windows were hung with french cleats.
First let me show you how my wall is looking these days.
I have a window i still need to hang and i want to add more but i still love it now even not finished.
