Where can you install bespoke mirrors?
One of the many benefits of custom-made glass mirrors is that they are produced to your exact specifications, meaning you can tailor the design to fit precisely into place where you plan to install them – both spatially and aesthetically.
The convenience of this customisability means you can order a bespoke mirror to use almost anywhere. Order a household mirror for your bedroom, bathroom, living room, hallway, or kitchen in your house or apartment, or a commercial mirror for your studio, salon, fitness centre, office, eatery, or boutique.
There’s no need to worry about the mirror not fitting or looking awkward, because you can order a sheet of mirror glass in the exact shape and size you want to fill. You’ll just need to provide the design specifying any cut-outs, notches, drilled holes, or corner adjustments you require, and Express Toughening will provide a quote and do the rest.
How do you mount a glass mirror?
You might choose to order a large piece of mirror glass cut to size to use as a free-standing or leaner mirror, or you might intend to hang it on a wall – whether that’s an open stretch of wall or above an item of furniture or other interior design feature.
Wherever you choose to install your bespoke glass mirror, you should make sure to use a suitable method of mounting it that will prevent it from falling off and breaking. For example, simple mirror adhesive may be best for smaller mirrors on smooth surfaces, while mirror screws are likely to keep much larger mirrors more secure on a wall.
Of course, if you want to use screws, bear in mind that this will require screwing them into the wall behind the mirror – and for this to be possible without damaging the glass, you should request pre-drilled holes where you want them to be when you order.
Is mirror glass easy to maintain?
Just like any glass, mirror glass is a resilient material that resists splashes and stains, so all you need to do to maintain it is avoid knocking into the glass and wipe the surface clean with a cloth and soapy water whenever it gets smudged or dirty.
As long as you ensure that the mirror is properly and securely mounted, or out of the way of trip hazards and anyone (or any pets) that might accidentally knock or scratch it, you shouldn’t have to worry about it falling over or someone falling into it.
However, our glass mirrors are made from standard annealed glass, so they are not as resistant to impacts and can shatter if broken. Should this happen, be very careful cleaning it up – but the good news is, ordering a replacement that’s an exact match to the previous mirror’s measurements will be easy at Express Toughening.
