Attaching glass to cabinet doors
Ok it is time to install the glass onto my cabinet doors.
I would like to buy/build something that will keep the glass from moving and rattling.
I stop by a furniture place and all the glass door cabinets a saw where installed using some sort of plastic retainer, I tryied shaken it a bit and it did not rattle.
Does any one know where can I buy this plastic?
Other options, the company that supplied the glass said they can installed them using silicone (not to convinced but I can be persuaded)
Another option is using a 1/4 round over wood strips but I have the feeling it will rattle, the last option I can think of is using glass retainers, but again would it rattle.
This doors are going into an entertainment center and since there is going to be sound I don't want the sound to rattle the glass on the doors.
Any help as always will be greatly appreciated.
Combine what Jim and Mike did......
use some quarter round (finished like the rest of the piece) and attached with clear silicone caulk.
I have been using silicone caulk
I have used the clear silicone caulk on several projects, never had a problem. I got that suggestion from the glass shop where I purchased glass and mirror. They had items in display installed in this same manner.
However, I agree that quarter round will provide a better look if that is important for you.
Am I going to have a problem doing it this way
Timely question. I am installing my glass now. I have been simply putting the glass into the frames and applying a bead of silicon around the back of the glass and onto the side of the rabbit the glass sits in. I'm not setting the glass into the silicon. Am I going to have problems? The one door I have done seems okay but sure don't want the glass to fall out.
Set glass first then apply silicone
I have been doing it this way with no problems.
