Custom mirrors cut, finished and installed

Measured to your wall, cut, edged and hung level. A mirror bought to nearly fit is a mirror with a gap down one side, and no amount of trim hides it.

What we cut

All of it made to your opening. None of it trimmed on site, because a mirror cannot be trimmed once it is silvered.

Vanity and bathroom mirrors

Sized to the run of the cabinets rather than bought to fit approximately. A mirror cut to the vanity looks built in; one bought off a shelf looks like it was bought off a shelf, because the gaps at each end are never equal.

  • Cut to the cabinet run, wall to wall if you want it
  • Cutouts for sconces and outlets, made before it is silvered
  • Polished, seamed or beveled edges

Gym and studio mirrors

Large panels for home gyms and studios, joined so the seams line up instead of landing wherever the sheet ran out. Fixed properly, because a wall of mirror that comes off a wall is a serious thing.

Closet and door mirrors

Full length mirrors fixed to a wall or a door, cut to the leaf so the edges do not foul the frame when it swings.

Framed and frameless

Frameless with a polished edge, or cut to fit a frame you already have.

Replacing a broken mirror

Same size as the one that broke, or a better size now that the wall is empty and you can see it properly.

Commercial mirrors

Restroom, changing room and studio mirrors for offices, gyms and clinics.

Three things about mirrors that surprise people

A mirror cannot be trimmed on site. Cutting silvered glass chips the backing along the cut and the damage shows as a dark line at the edge. So the measurement has to be right before it is cut, which is why we measure instead of asking you to.

Big mirrors are heavier than they look and they flex. A large sheet carried flat will bow under its own weight and can break in your hands. That is most of the reason to have someone else carry it up the stairs, and it is why we check the route in before we cut anything.

Cutouts happen before silvering, not after. If you want a hole for a sconce or a socket, decide it early. Adding one later means a new mirror, not a new hole.

None of this is a reason to be nervous about it. It is a reason to have the measurement, the route and the cutouts settled before anything is made, which is what the estimate visit is for.

Measured by usNot off a number you read off a tape. A mirror cut to the wrong size cannot be recut.
Edges finishedPolished, seamed or beveled. A raw cut edge on a mirror is sharp and it looks it.
Hung levelWe fix it and level it. A big mirror slightly off level is visible from across the room.

What mirrors cost

Priced per piece after we measure, because mirror is sold by area and the finishing is what moves it.

What moves itFour thingsSize, thickness, edge, cutouts

Area first, then the edge finish, then any holes, then whether it needs two people and a stair.

Worth knowingDecide earlyCutouts before silvering

Sconce and socket holes are made before the mirror is finished. Added later means a new mirror.

Mirror questions

How much does it cost to have a custom mirror cut?
Cutting a mirror to size is inexpensive; what costs money is edge finishing, holes, thickness and installation. A polished or beveled edge, cutouts for wall lights, and quarter inch rather than eighth inch glass all add. For anything large or wall fixed the install is the bigger part of the number, because a heavy mirror needs the right anchors for the substrate.
Will Home Depot cut mirrors to size?
Big box stores will cut small, thin, straight rectangles from stock, and for a cheap utility mirror that is a perfectly sensible option. What they generally will not do is bevel or polish the edge, cut holes for sconces, work in quarter inch, handle oversized panels, or install it on your wall. That is the line where a glazier is what you actually need.
How big can a single wall mirror be?
Larger than most people expect, but the practical limits are handling and access, not manufacture. Oversized panels are heavy and awkward, and the real constraint is usually whether it will go up the stairs or round the landing in one piece. Where it will not, the answer is a matched multi panel layout rather than a smaller mirror.
Can a mirror be cut with holes for wall lights?
Yes, and the holes have to be cut before anything else is done to the glass, not after it is on the wall. Give us the fixture positions at the measure and they are cut and finished as part of fabrication. Drilling a mirror in place is how mirrors get broken.
How do you hang a large wall mirror safely?
With fixings matched to what is behind the wall, which is the step that gets skipped. Drywall plugs do not hold a heavy mirror; it needs studs, solid blocking or proper masonry anchors, plus support along the bottom edge on the biggest panels. We locate the fixings when we measure so the wall is not a surprise on install day.
Can a mirror that has gone black around the edges be repaired?
No. That black creep is the silver backing corroding, usually from moisture wicking in at the edge, and it cannot be reversed or polished out. The mirror is replaced. In a bathroom it is worth fixing the cause too, because a mirror set tight against a damp wall with no ventilation will do the same thing again.
