Glass Cabinet.

[Traveller]

Hi All.

Want to make a very simple small glass display cabinet with shelves and a door like the following, but smaller and shorter.

Made to measure glass can easily be obtained, but what is the easiest/best way to put the pieces together? Are fixtures (connectors, hinges, etc) for glass available at B&Q?

Thanks.

Try Prefit they do a masive range of fittings for glass, shopfit section will be best place to start

Hi JasonB.

Well I contacted three different online shops that sell this kind of thing (glass fittings, etc) and not a single one of them got back to me.

I would like to avoid any bits that would require the glass to be drilled and by just browsing these sites, I think I may be able to get away with very few, or no, holes at all.

The problem is, I would have loved if these people could offer some advice before I go buying inappropriate bits. The sites don't really explain very well what and how the parts are used.

I don't need to screw or glue the panels together; simple clips that tighten with screws, etc, which would hold two pieces of glass together would do fine, I'm not sure exactly how many different options/methods are available to me.

Thanks.

Thanks ColJak, will consider that. Is it just ordinary clear silicone?
