Adjustabail

Welcome to the home of Adjustabail - the innovative way to hang your glass art! Designed for a glass artist, Adjustabail is the answer to the comment frequently made about glass art - 'It's lovely, but how do I hang it up?' Now you have the solution! Carefully designed, the components are strong and discreet in use.

Adjustabail is manufactured (in the UK) in three sizes - Mini, Midi and Maxi. Mini is available in standard and self adhesive versions (no glue - yippee). Each of these are designed to work for different sizes and weights of panel and cast glass. Previously your only option has been metal supports or stand-offs - very visible and often requiring drilling holes through the panel - a risky and expensive process.

Adjustabail is a very cost effective solution for hanging your glass. You only need one Adjustabail per piece of work. The slugs, brackets and fixings are supplied both as a kit and separately so you can give a bracket to your customer. The gallery that exhibits your work can use a bracket to display your panels and keep spares for their clients. The Midi and Maxi are also perfect for hanging ceramic wall art!

Adhesives We have used the Loctite Hysol product below effectively, so we can supply it if you need it. It comes with instructions and manufacturer's data sheet. You can also view that information by clicking on the link below. It is our choice because it is crystal clear and uv stable. Other epoxies will work, but some are clear with a yellow tint, or slightly opaque. It is very important that you follow the adhesive instructions correctly otherwise your adhesive joint strength may be compromised. Also, epoxies have a shelf life - check the use by date and don't use out of date epoxy.

A 6mm thick glass panel weighs approximately 1.75 grams per square centimetre. Example: A 30cm x 40cm panel would weigh 30 x 40 x 1.75 = 2100gm = 2.1kg

Preparing to hang casting with Adjustabail MiniPreparing to hang casting with Adjustabail Mini
It's so easy to hang your art now. Just stick an appropriately sized Adjustabail on the back of the art, screw the supplied screw into the wall, hang and adjust. Here you can see the screw head has a paper dot stuck to it to hide it. You can paint the paper dot the same colour as the wall to camouflage further.

Preparing to hang a thicker casting with Adjustabail MidiPreparing to hang a thicker casting with Adjustabail Midi
To hang a bigger panel is so easy now. This panel is 20mm thick, a random shape with intentionally uneven edges, but only needs one Adjustabail Midi. Your clients don't have to worry about marking out accurately any more. Just choose the place where you want to hang the art, use the bracket to mark 2 holes, drill, fit the supplied wall plugs and tighten the screws. It doesn't matter if the bracket isn't level - the system is very adjustable.

You can see how discreet the Adjustabail slug is - it is just visible below the Angel's eye on the left.

The Graffiti Angel casting is hung on the wall. The top image shows it hung crooked. You can see that the Adjustabail has enough friction to keep the panel in place. It is very easy to adjust - just set it where you want.

This piece is about 20mm thick and weighs 3.8kg. It is made from Bullseye Clear Tekta scrap with a very thin sprinkling of black powder on the front face to accentuate the angel's face. It's a tricky piece to photograph well, but it does demonstrate how adjustable an Adjustabail really is!

Technical Videos
