Cheshire: mirror cut to size
Safety backing is a sensible choice wherever someone could fall or knock against a mirror, such as sliding wardrobe doors, full-height mirrors, children's rooms, gyms and dance studios. We recommend it at survey wherever the position or use of the room suggests it.
A safety-backed mirror has a film bonded across its back that holds the pieces together if the glass breaks, so fragments stay on the backing instead of falling or scattering. Some backing films are classified for impact under BS EN 12600, and the film is applied before fitting.
Most mirrors for internal use are made from silver-coated float glass covered by BS EN 1036-1, which sets definitions, quality requirements and test methods, including resistance to damp and corrosion. Mirror for bathrooms or other humid areas should come from a supplier whose product meets that standard.
Templating lets a mirror follow sloping ceilings, curved alcoves, skirting lines and fitted furniture. Cut-outs for sockets and switches are marked on the template, and the faceplates are removed and refitted so the mirror sits neatly behind them.

What applies in Cheshire
Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.
Cheshire has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. Mirrors are fitted indoors, but salty, humid coastal air can still reach the silver backing through exposed edges, particularly in bathrooms and near entrances. Protected edges, a compatible adhesive and good ventilation all help prevent black edge corrosion.
Large mirrors for flats, salons and gyms often have to travel through narrow stairwells and small lifts, so walls may be covered in several panels with planned joints. Loading limits and building working hours can affect fitting times.

Choosing your bespoke mirrors
Safety-backed mirror
Mirror with a bonded backing film that holds fragments together if it breaks, recommended for doors, full-height mirrors, gyms and children's rooms.
Tinted mirror
Grey or bronze tinted mirror that softens the reflection and adds warmth or depth, often used as a feature wall or in hospitality spaces.
Bevelled edge
An angled border ground and polished around the edge that catches the light and frames the mirror without needing a separate frame.
Clear silver mirror
Standard silver-coated float glass mirror, cut to size, suited to most rooms, wardrobes and wall mirrors where a true, neutral reflection is wanted.
Bespoke Mirrors in Cheshire: questions
How long does a bespoke mirror take?
Plain mirrors cut to size are often ready soon after measuring, while bevelled, tinted, safety-backed or shaped mirrors take longer to process. Fitting is usually completed in a single visit, though full gym or studio walls can take longer. Your written quote sets out the expected timescale, and we confirm the date when the mirror is ready.
What edge finishes can I choose for a bespoke mirror?
The main choices are a flat polished edge, a bevelled edge and an arrised edge. Polished edges give a clean, frameless look and suit mirror walls, bevels add an angled border that catches the light, and arrised edges simply take off the sharpness where a frame or channel will hide them. Bevel width can usually be chosen too.
Can a large mirror be fixed to plasterboard?
Often, yes, but it depends on the board, its fixings and the surface finish. Adhesive grips the paint or plaster layer, so flaky paint or weak skim can let go under the weight. We check the wall at survey and may add a base channel, mechanical fixings into studs, or a backing board to spread the load.
Can I have a bespoke mirror in a bathroom?
Yes, provided the room is well ventilated and the mirror is protected from standing water. We use mirror that meets the relevant standard for internal use, bond it with a compatible adhesive and keep edges away from splashes where possible. A heated demister pad can keep part of the mirror clear, wired in by a qualified electrician.
