How to Make a Round Glass Cover for Moving

Round glass cabinet fronts, display case doors and glass display domes are all prone to breakage during a move. The key to preventing damage is to cushion both sides of the glass. This method can be utilized for round glass cabinet doors, round display case fronts and other furniture items with round glass components. The same basic process will also be used to protect round glass display domes and similar decorative items. Generous cushioning is vital, especially since round glass cabinet doors can be very expensive to replace.
