Mirrors are commonly made of glass with a smooth, polished surface that forms images by the reflection of rays and light.
The original method of making glass mirrors consists of depositing a coating of metal, mostly silver, on the surface of clear or body-tinted glass. A layer of copper, which is in turn protected by a painted backing, usually protects this deposit. The silver gives the mirror its reflective properties.
Mirrors are manufactured in several thicknesses: 1/8″, 3/16″ and 1/4″.
1/4″ mirror is applied to walls, where 1/8″ is used when weight may be an issue such as door or drawer fronts, as well as placement into frames.
Mirrors come in a variety of colors: clear, bronze, grey, peach, blue, gold, black and antiqued.
As walls are rarely plumb, level or square, our on site measuring will ensure a fit to contour your existing conditions.
Often the need for visible metal channel is not required.
You may like a traditional look and wish to incorporate woodwork, architectural or picture frame moldings.
Maybe you prefer the more contemporary frameless look.
Mirrors are installed in bathrooms, dressing rooms, foyers, gyms, cabinetry, kitchen backsplashes, living rooms, dining rooms or just about anywhere.
The illusion of space is created when a mirror reflects both height and width. The perception of room size may often double.
You can brighten a room naturally by reflecting the outdoors or artificially from surface mounted light fixtures.
