Most wall framing is covered with drywall that typically measures 1 2 or 5 8 inch thick.
Hanging windows on walls.
To hang lightweight and medium weight objects you need only pierce this.
Twist one picture framing eye hook into the sash at the left pencil mark but centered across the width of the left side of the window frame.
One part of the cleat goes in the wall the other on the window.
It comes with everything you ll need.
I am going to show you how it worked for me.
I am not a professional by any means so do your research.
So here it is a little how to on hanging vintage windows.
Like i mentioned before these windows are relatively lightweight and i usually hang them flush against a wall so i use the hooks and eyes with picture hanging wire to hang them.
I have a window i still need to hang and i want to add more but i still love it now even not finished.
For a heavier window or one that hangs in a way that leaves it open to wind at the side or on the front of a porch for example i d use d rings and chain instead.
First let me show you how my wall is looking these days.
For example if the frame of the window sash is 2.
This part goes on the wall.
