When applying stainless steel double-rod fixings to glass, aesthetics, load-bearing and safety must be taken into account. The following are specific steps and precautions:

 

1. Confirm the glass type and load-bearing capacity

- Tempered glass: Tempered glass must be used (thickness recommended ≥8mm), ordinary glass is easy to break.

- Load-bearing assessment: Calculate the load capacity of the glass according to the purpose of the double rod (such as handrails, clothes drying rods, etc.), and consult the manufacturer if necessary.

 

2. Choose special fixings

- Stainless steel clip-on fixings: Clamp the glass from both sides with metal clips and screws, without drilling holes (such as U-shaped clips, G-shaped clips).

- Penetration fixings: Drill holes in the glass, with stainless steel bolts and buffer gaskets (suitable for high-load-bearing scenarios).

- Adhesive + mechanical fixing combination: Use high-strength structural adhesive (such as silicone adhesive) to enhance stability.

 

3. Installation steps

Clip-on installation (hole-free solution recommended)

1. Clean the glass surface: Use alcohol to remove oil stains and ensure that there is no dust.

2. Install rubber gasket: Paste non-slip rubber pads on the contact surface between the clip and the glass to prevent scratches and increase friction.

3. Fix the double rod: Put the stainless steel clip on the edge of the glass and tighten it symmetrically with screws (avoid over-tightening to cause stress concentration on the glass).

4. Adjust the level: Use a level to ensure that the double rods are parallel.

 

Penetration installation (high load-bearing requirements)

1. Accurate positioning and drilling: Mark the drilling position and use a special glass drill to drill at a low speed (water spray cooling is required).

2. Install the buffer kit: Embed nylon or rubber bushings in the hole and then insert the stainless steel bolts.

3. Tighten and seal: After the bolts are fixed, apply waterproof glue to seal around.

 

4. Key points

- Avoid edge stress: The position of the fixing is ≥50mm away from the edge of the glass to prevent the glass from breaking.

- Uniform force: The multiple fixing points of the double rods need to be evenly distributed to avoid excessive local pressure.

- Regular inspection: Check the tightness of the screws and the aging of the colloid after long-term use.

 

5. Application scenario examples

- Shower room handrail: Clip-on fixing, anti-slip design.

- Glass guardrail crossbar: Penetration fixing, need to be matched with decorative cover to hide screws.

- Display stand support: Combination of structural adhesive and invisible clamps.

 

Professional advice

If the glass is curved or oversized, it is recommended to customize special-shaped fixings and have them installed by professionals. Before construction, the clamping effect of the fixings can be tested in a hidden place on the glass.
