Title: Clips for glass
Post by: katynewbie on April 14, 2006, 23:48:34
???

What's the proper name for the square clips which hold the panes of glass above one another? Not the "W" clips, the small ones. Need to buy some tomorrow and would like to sound like I know what i am talking about when i go to the shop. It will not be B&Q or similar, cos I dont want 300 of them, and past experience tells me that will happen, wanted ONE picture hook recently, and had to buy 8!

;)

I just know them as greenhouse clips, dont know anyother name, sorry.

Hubby was short of a few ( he being penny wise) got the tin cutteres and a bakebean can cut strips out and made his own worked fine.

Saying that he always puttys the panes of glass in just incase they move or slip and break.
