What Types of Mirrors Do We Install?
We supply and install mirrors for every residential and commercial application.
- Frameless wall mirrors - clean, modern appearance with no frame to obstruct the mirror surface. Ideal for bathrooms, powder rooms, and contemporary spaces.
- Beveled mirrors - feature an angled, polished edge that catches light and adds visual depth. Available with bevel widths from 1/2 inch to 1 inch.
- Framed mirrors - mirrors set in decorative frames in a wide range of styles, materials, and colours to complement your interior design.
- Full-length mirrors - floor-to-ceiling or large-format mirrors for dressing rooms, closets, hallways, and retail fitting areas.
- Antiqued and decorative mirrors - mirrors with an aged, distressed, or tinted finish for decorative and design-focused applications.
- Safety-backed mirrors - mirrors with an adhesive safety film on the back that holds fragments together if the mirror breaks. Required in many commercial and public installations.
Edge Finish and Glass Thickness Options
The edge finish and thickness of a mirror affect both its appearance and its suitability for the installation method.
- Flat polished edge - the edge is ground and polished to a smooth, sleek finish. The most popular choice for frameless installations and modern interiors.
- Beveled edge - the edge is cut at an angle (typically 1/2 to 1 inch wide) and polished, creating a subtle frame effect that adds elegance without an actual frame.
- Seamed edge - the edge is lightly sanded to remove sharpness but not polished. Used when the mirror will be set in a frame or channel that covers the edge.
- Pencil polished edge - the edge is rounded and polished into a smooth curved profile. Common on smaller mirrors and decorative pieces.
- Standard thickness is 1/4 inch (6 mm), which works for most mirrors up to about 4 by 6 feet. For larger mirrors, 3/8 inch glass is recommended to prevent bowing and distortion.
How We Install Custom Mirrors
Proper installation is essential for safety and longevity, especially with large or heavy mirrors. Our installation method depends on the mirror's size, weight, and the wall structure.
- French cleat (Z-bar) mounting - the industry standard for large, heavy mirrors. A metal bar is secured to the wall studs, and a matching bar is attached to the back of the mirror. The mirror hangs on the cleat, distributing weight evenly across the wall.
- J-channel bottom support - a metal channel is mounted at the base to support the mirror's weight, with clips or adhesive at the top to hold it in position. Common for bathroom vanity mirrors.
- Adhesive mounting - neutral-cure mirror-safe silicone and double-sided glazing tape are used for lighter mirrors on smooth, flat surfaces. The adhesive must be compatible with the mirror's reflective coating to prevent desilvering.
- Mechanical clips - small metal or plastic clips mounted to the wall hold the mirror at its edges. A simple, economical method for standard-size mirrors.
Residential and Commercial Mirror Applications
We install mirrors in a wide range of settings across the GTA.
- Bathroom vanities - single or double vanity mirrors, medicine cabinet replacements, and full-wall installations above a countertop.
