Fixing and Mounting Systems
Fixing Systems for Glass Whiteboards
There are 4 ways PROWITE™ Glass Whiteboards can be wall mounted. Not all methods are available with all glass whiteboards.
Direct Fixed
This means the glass is glued directly to the wall surface without any extra brackets or hardware. The glass is supplied with double-sided adhesive tape only on the rear. An acrylic pen tray will not be supplied as these are not compatible with this system. The glass should be mounted using a suitable silicon or construction adhesive. The adhesive tape is only to hold the whiteboard in position while the silicon dries and must not be relied on as permanent mounting on its own. This system is not recommended for clear glass whiteboards. The wall surface must be smooth and clean so the adhesive tape and silicon bonds permanently.
Edge-Mount Brackets
This is the default mounting system that is supplied with most of our glass whiteboards. These are round metal brackets that are fitted along the top and bottom edges of the glass. They hold the glass approx. 9mm off the wall and clamp onto the edge to hold the whiteboard in place. The entire weight of the glass is supported by the brackets along the bottom edge so it is important they are mounted onto a solid surface and screwed into strong material such as timber or concrete using appropriate fixings. The screws supplied with these brackets will not suit every scenario. The brackets can be mounted anywhere along the edges including the sides if required and extra brackets can be purchased if required. Glass Whiteboard up to 1200mm width are supplied with 4 brackets, 1500-1800mm -6 brackets and 2100-2400mm -8 brackets.
Slotted Holes
This is the default mounting system for some of our small glass whiteboards up to 600x900mm. Screws are supplied for the glass to hang on the 4 slotted holes on the rear.
Strip Mount
This is a complete glass mounting system ideal for larger panels or when mounting several panels’ side-by-side. The mounting strip is in 2 parts with a wall mount section that holds the glass and a cover to conceal the screws. The glass is held in tight with a rubber window wedge. The aluminium mounting strip is 25mm high and comes in lengths of up to 2.9m. It is supplied cut to length to suit your glass size or configuration. Strips are usually used on the top and bottom edges of the glass only with end caps but it can be used as a 4 sided frame for glass if required. It is usually supplied powder coated in white but there are options of black, silver or your choice of colour available on request.
Concealed Hanging Rails
This system uses aluminium rails glued to the rear of the glass holding the glass approx. 5mm off the wall. There are usually 2 rails one near the top and one near the bottom and extending close to the ends of the glass. Corresponding brackets are supplied with screws for wall mounting. The brackets are mounted on the wall and the glass is slid down over the brackets. This is an efficient mounting system for individual glass panels where concealed fixing is required.
