Hello,

I would like to attach an existing tempered glass panel measuring 119 cm x 68 cm and 4 mm (0.16 inches) thick as a coat rack backing on a drywall surface (with an OSB board underneath). It will be used for children’s jackets.
The glass panel has no pre-drilled holes.

What would be the best way to securely mount the glass panel? How many brackets would you recommend? The panel should hang as close to the wall as possible.

Are there hooks that can be attached to the glass surface to hang clothes without drilling?

Thank you.

Regards

Drill the rails directly into the wall!

Hello

Painted glass? – then use adhesive
Possibly the fittings as well.

Should the glass panel rest directly on the floor, or at what height should it be installed? Are the 119 cm (47 inches) referring to the vertical or horizontal measurement?

There are coat hooks that can be glued onto glass. For example, Pattex Kraft Mix Extreme Rapid is suitable for this purpose.

For fixing the panel, you might consider using rabbeted wooden battens. Gluing is also possible, but the disadvantage is that if the panel is damaged for any reason (e.g., a crack), it cannot be removed as easily.

Best regards,
Sigi

The panel should be mounted on the wall. 119 cm (47 inches) wide. Starting approximately 60 cm (24 inches) above the floor.

In that case, as I already mentioned, it would be practical to attach the panel to the wall using wooden battens with a rabbet joint made from any type of wood. This is quick and easy to do without much effort.
If I am not being clear, I can gladly sketch it for you tomorrow.

Best regards, Sigi
