Custom mirrors
A mirror cut
to your wall.
Not a framed rectangle hung near the middle and hoped for. Measured to the wall it lives on, so it lands tight to the backsplash and square to the light.

The edge is the whole decision.
With no frame to hide behind, the edge treatment is the only detail there is. It's also what separates a mirror that reads as custom from one that reads as a piece of glass leaning on a wall.
Polished
Ground flat and buffed to a clean, bright edge. The default for a frameless mirror and what most people picture when they say "no frame". Sits close to the wall and disappears.
Seamed
The sharpness taken off, nothing more. Correct and safe, but the edge stays matte rather than bright — right where the mirror sits inside a frame or behind a cabinet and the edge is never seen.
Bevelled
An angled facet ground around the perimeter, usually half an inch to an inch. Catches light and throws a faint prism at the border. Adds cost and adds weight to the look — good in a traditional room, heavy in a minimal one.

Clips, channel, or nothing visible.
Small mirrors can hang on clips. Anything wall-width goes on a bottom J-channel with adhesive above, so nothing interrupts the face and the weight sits on something solid rather than on glue alone.
A wall-width mirror is heavy and it is going on a wall that is not flat. We shim it into plane during install — otherwise the reflection bends where the drywall does, and once you have seen that you cannot unsee it.
When plain isn't the answer.
True colour
Standard mirror carries the same green cast as standard glass, which quietly shifts skin tone and paint colour. Low-iron mirror reflects closer to what's actually in front of it. Noticeable in a bathroom where people get ready.
Aged finish
Deliberately clouded and speckled backing. A feature surface rather than something to check your face in — good on a bar back, a niche or a dining wall.
Held together
A film laminated to the back so a broken mirror stays in one piece instead of coming off the wall. Standard for gyms and anywhere at floor level with children around.
Common questions.
Can you cut around my outlets and sconces?
Yes — cutouts and notches are done before the mirror is delivered, off measurements we take on site. Give us the sconce boxes and outlets in their final positions. If the electrician moves a box after we measure, the mirror does not move with it.
How big can one piece be?
Large enough for most vanity walls in one sheet. Past a certain size the constraint stops being the glass and becomes the doorway, the stairwell and the corner it has to turn to reach the room. We check the path in before quoting a single piece, and sometimes the right answer is two panels with a deliberate joint.
Will it fog up?
Any mirror in a bathroom fogs. Keeping it clear means moving air — an exhaust fan that actually vents outside and runs long enough after a shower. Heated demister pads bonded to the back are an option if you want a guaranteed clear patch, and they need to be wired, so decide before the wall closes up.
Can you replace just the mirror and keep my frame?
Usually, if the frame is sound and we can get the old glass out without damaging it. Bring us the frame or send photos of how it is assembled at the back. Sometimes the frame was built around the mirror and there is no way in without taking it apart.
Send a photo of the wall.
A photo of the vanity wall with a rough width and height gets you a number. Tell us where the sconces are going and whether you want the edge polished or bevelled.
