Mirror factory

Custom made mirror: mirrors for all kinds of interior use, wall, table decoration, etc… with your own dimensions, your own shade, your own shape! # antique mirror # patinated mirror # copper mirror # tinted mirror # mirror with black frames # mirror made to measure # mirror factory

Design your own custom-made mirror and choose the mounting accessories if you want.

We manufacture mirrors to the exact dimensions you want, made to measure to your specifications.

If the edges of the mirror glass remain visible after installation

We also recommend you to add a polished edge grinding to the glass from the edges menu. In this case, the sharp edges of the glass are ground clean and polished. ready for presentation. Edge grinding also slightly increases the bending resistance of the glass.

If the edges of the glass are hidden inside the frame, edge grinding is not necessary.

To add to the appearance, you can also choose to have the glass surface beveled at the edges or 45-degree beveled.In beveling, a “bevel” of the desired width is cut into the edges of the mirror surface. After grinding, the facet is always polished to a clear glass finish.

When facet grinding glasses, if all corners of the glass are rounded with less than 11mm of angular curvature, the facet grinding is done in a straight line and does not follow the angular curvature. Otherwise, the facet is ground on a CNC machine to follow the edge line of the glass, including the rounding.

Mirror mounting accessories

Select the desired mounting method for the mirror from the menu. All mounting hardware is shipped separately with the mirror because often the installation site determines how the mounting hardware should be positioned on the mirror.

For example, a mirror can be glued to the wall with mirror glue. Mirror glue always comes with mirror tape, which helps to hold the mirror in place better during the bridge period as the glue dries. Suitable for mirrors of all shapes and thicknesses.

The mirror’s hidden mounting kit includes self-adhesive metal brackets for the mirror’s background. Also included are screws and wall mounting brackets. Includes installation instructions in English and installation photos. In short:

Carefully clean the background of the mirror -> Determine a place on the wall where the wall brackets of the mounting kit can be attached -> Attach the self-adhesive metal resistors to the cleaned mirror at the same distances as the wall brackets and press the metal resistors for about 30 seconds -> Allow 30min for the adhesive to set and hang the mirror on the wall. The concealed fasteners leave nothing visible on the front of the mirror. Hideaway brackets move the mirror away from the wall by about 15mm.

Aluminium J-mouldings suitable for rectangular or rectangular-sided mirrors. The mouldings have pre-drilled holes for fixing screws every 25cm (screws not included). The J-brackets are usually ordered to the length of the top and bottom edge of the mirror (2 pieces per width), for example if you order a mirror with a width of 800mm, order 2 pieces of 800mm J-brackets. Aluminium list available for 4mm and 6mm mirror. J-lists are also available in black # mirror with black frames

The mirror hook kit is designed for mounting small, 4mm thick mirrors of all shapes and sizes. Screws are included. Maximum weight 6kg. You can see the weight of the mirror on the mirror page in the additional information after you have set the desired dimensions. (Or in your shopping cart, if you have already added a mirror to your shopping cart).

Examples of the size of corner swivels

R, or radius, is the size of the circle of which the angular rotation is a part. Examples of what corner spinning can be compared to:

• The diameter of a long-playing LP is about 300mm, i.e. radius R=150mm
• The diameter of the CD is 120mm, i.e. radius R=60mm
• The diameter of a 2 euro coin is about 25mm, i.e. radius R=12.5mm
• The diameter of a 10 ct coin is about 20mm, i.e. radius R=10mm
• 3mm rounding (R3) the rounding is just visible to the eye from the corner of the round, but the shape of the glass is not yet substantially changed
• The 1mm rounding (R1) doesn’t look much like a rounded corner, but feeling it with your fingertip you can feel that the sharpness has just about disappeared.

You can also calculate the weight of the glass by entering the glass data in the fields. The glass weight calculator does not take into account the reduction in mass due to the shape of the glass, but always calculates the weight of the glass in the rectangular area. The glass weight counter is indicative. The weight of the glass can vary between different production batches due to the thickness tolerance of the glass.

Drilling a hole in glass

You can also order the mirrors with holes in the desired position. There are certain regularities in where holes can be drilled in the glass. For example, each glass thickness has its own minimum distances, the distance between the edge of a hole and, for example, the edge of the glass, the corner of the glass or another hole. These distances are larger in tempered glass than in untempered glass, and the distances increase with the thickness of the glass. There is also a minimum hole diameter depending on the glass thickness.

Our calculator always automatically checks that these minimum distances are met and that the hole is not too small for the glass thickness.

Please note that normal mirror glasses are not suitable for tempering, so if you order glasses with holes, you should be careful when tightening screws through the holes, for example. You can also order
Tempered mirror from the Glasses page
(Pilkington Mirrorpane Chrome Plus), a tempered mirror has a significantly better torsion resistance than an untempered mirror # tempered mirror

• The holes are always rough-edged, i.e. the holes are supposed to go “hidden”.
• 6-40mm holes are usually drilled with diamond drills and holes over 40mm are either drilled or machined with CNC machines.
• There is no upper limit to the size of the hole, we can machine almost any size hole in the glass
• The holes can also be flush with the edges, i.e. make a so-called. half e.g. for cable penetrations, etc. or fireplace glass against a round fireplace
• 
• 
• The holes cannot be too close together, but the holes can partially overlap (min 1/3 part) – this will give you longer gaps. (Hole spacers may be machined straight if production possibilities so require)
• 
• If possible, always try to use the same hole size (cheaper)
