There are many types and sizes of opal glass, many of which are standard. It can be confusing at first, to figure out the right size and style for your special attack, or a lamp, but here are some guidelines that will help you make the right choice.
First tip: always take the measures from the outer edge to outer edge, as this is how the size of glass are classified.
Second tip: Remember that glass is undersize. What does this mean? If the glass is like an ad2 1 / 4 "and 7", the actual measurement of the glass a little 'smaller than the size stated.
The first step is to determine how your glass is held in place.
1 glass is sitting on a table lamp or chandelier, a circular ring of a tripod or have? You probably want to shadow a student. Measure the ring, the outer edge to outer edge. The standard dimensions are 5 ", 6", 7 ", 8", 10 ", 12" and 14 ". Often there is a place for a fireplace to sit around inside the larger ring. Re-fit the holder, exteriorthe outer edge.
2 The glass is held in place by three screws and the neck slightly flared? If so, measuring cup, or outer edge to outer edge of the holder.
* If the owner of measures just over 2 1 / 4 tones in better shape, "you are looking for 2 1 / 4".
* If the owner of measures just over 3 1 / 4 "or 4", you are looking for 3 1 / 4 "or 4" fitter shades. Or globes shade open or closed: the two formats in two ways.
* Glass with 6 ", 8" and 10 "the technicians are alsostyles available in the closed world.
3 Do you have a table lamp that has a base of brass or glass and the glass sits on a ring with no screws? You can search for Gone with the Wind world. The ring is just over 4 time "and the world is a straight neck, which lies just to get in the ring. It is usually a small support for a fireplace in the larger 4-ring.
4 Your glass of openness rather flat and have no distinct neck? Laid it on the lamp or the light around theLampholder and screw a nut around the base of the protruding part? If so, you are looking for a shadow necklace. Most of these sounds have a 8.5 "opening.
5 floor lamps can be very confusing. We found the most common types, as follows:
* If your lamp is higher, and you need a glass with a 8.5 1 "-1 8.7" opening, you may need to shade a necklace. The screen is positioned on the lamp socket, and a ring is usually part of the issues surrounding theSocket, which protrudes.
* Shades of antique floor lamps, torchiere called, has a long neck that measures 2 4.3 "that fits around an oversize Mogul lampholder.
* There is also a very popular floor lamp, from the 1950 "s, seems like a torchiere, but uses a different type of glass. If your floor lamp has a bracket with screws, it will not take the old-style torchiere. Need to know what IES is a glass diffuser. Often, the IES supports a shade cloth shade.2 "in better shape with a 6 1 / 4" diameter top, 2 "in better shape with an 8 1 / 4" diameter top and two 8.7 "in better shape with a 10" diameter top: IES speakers in three standard formats.
6 fireplaces are usually located in or a gallery of teeth rounds. To re-establish the outer edge to outer edge of the right size dimension.
7 Hurricane Glass is often used for chandeliers and sconces. The owner or mug will measure approximately 1 3 / 4 "outer edge to outer edge. The same glass as1 "in better shape, although the actual measurement is closer to 1 1 / 2" 5 / 8.
