How mirrored glass can transform your home?

Mirrored glass is characterised by its reflective layer. This is usually used on one side in order to create a specific aesthetic, with a variety of functions, that can help you to transform your home.  Mirrored glass is extremely versatile and can have many uses around your home, including:

Illusion of space

Mirrored glass is perfect for small spaces such as cramped bathrooms. Fitting a mirror can make a compact space appear much larger due to its reflective ability.  If you have a narrow hallway you should hang two vertical mirrors alongside each other to give the illusion of a wider space, whilst floor-length mirror glass should be used in bedrooms to make them appear expansive.

Upgrade your space

You can enhance any room in your house by simply hanging a mirror – it can be used as a focal point on your bedroom dresser. You could even use the reflective features of mirrored glass to highlight key ornaments or fittings in your living room, enhancing the appearance of your living space.

Brighten your home

Mirrored glass is perfect for a dull or poorly lit room that requires a boost, especially if you hang a mirror opposite a window, as this will automatically reflect natural light into the room. You can also reduce your energy bills through strategic placement of mirrored glass, as mirrors reflect natural light, which means you can reduce artificial light usage and cut down on electricity costs.

Hide imperfections

If you find a rip in your wallpaper or a dent in your cupboard door, you could easily conceal these imperfections by using mirrored glass as a cover-up.  Mirrored glass is a simpler alternative to paintings or other wall decorations, as they may not fit your colour scheme. Mirrored glass is extremely adaptable and can blend in with various designs.

What Our Customers Say

Andrew Cooke

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!
