How much do pictures and mirrors normally weigh?

The weight of pictures, mirrors, and paintings on canvas can vary widely based on their size, frame material, and the type of glass used. Here are some general guidelines:

• Small Pictures (20×25 cm): Typically weigh between 0.5 to 2 kg.
• Medium Pictures (40×50 cm): Generally weigh between 2 to 5 kg.
• Large Pictures (60×90 cm): Can weigh from 5 to 10 kg or more, depending on the frame and glass.
• Small Mirrors (30×30 cm): Usually weigh around 1 to 3 kg.
• Medium Mirrors (45×60 cm): Typically weigh between 3 to 7 kg.
• Large Mirrors (60×90 cm or larger): Can weigh 7 to 15 kg or more.
• Small Paintings on Canvas (20×25 cm): Usually weigh around 0.2 to 0.5 kg.
• Medium Paintings on Canvas (40×50 cm): Generally weigh between 0.5 to 2 kg.
• Large Paintings on Canvas (60×90 cm): Can weigh from 2 to 5 kg or more, depending on the thickness of the canvas and the type of frame.

The actual weight can vary based on the materials used. For instance, a wooden frame will be lighter than a metal one, and standard glass is heavier than acrylic or plexiglass.

The weight of the picture, mirror, or painting on canvas will determine the type of hanging wires and hooks you need. Heavier items require 2mm wires and stronger hooks to ensure they are securely mounted and safely displayed. Lighter items (under 10kg) can be hung with 2x 1mm hanging wires and Micro Grip 1mm hooks.

Always check the specific weight of your items to ensure they are properly supported by your hanging system.
