Fragile furniture items like glass tables, mirrors, and delicate woodwork require extra care during the packing process to prevent damage. With the right techniques and materials, you can protect your furniture and minimize the risk of breakage.
Gather Necessary Packing Supplies
Collect all the supplies you’ll need before you start packing. These may include bubble wrap, furniture blankets, packing tape, packing paper, cardboard sheets, customized boxes, and corner protectors.
Disassemble Furniture
If possible, disassemble your furniture into smaller components. This makes it easier to wrap and pack each piece securely and reduces the risk of breakage.
Furniture Blankets
Wrap the entire piece of furniture with furniture blankets to provide an extra layer of protection against scratches and bumps.
Cardboard Sheets
For items with glass surfaces, place cardboard sheets on both sides and secure them with tape. This adds an additional barrier to prevent shattering.
Use Customized Boxes
If you have the original packaging for your furniture, use it. If not, opt for customized boxes that closely match the dimensions of your furniture pieces. This helps minimize movement during transit.
Secure Glass and Mirrors
For glass or mirror surfaces, use masking tape to create an “X” shape across the glass. This helps prevent shattering and keeps the glass in place.
Label Fragile Items Clearly
Clearly mark all boxes containing fragile furniture with “Fragile” labels. This alerts movers and yourself to exercise extra caution when handling these boxes.
Loading and Transport
When loading the moving truck, place your fragile furniture in an upright position. Use straps or bungee cords to secure furniture in place, preventing shifting during transit.
Unpacking Fragile Furniture
When unloading and unpacking, take your time. Carefully remove the packaging materials and inspect each piece for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, document it for potential insurance claims.
