About bespoke mirrors in Feltham
Mirrors must be bonded with an adhesive made to be compatible with mirror backing. Some general-purpose adhesives and acidic sealants can attack the protective coatings and the silver, causing dark patches that spread from behind. We only use mirror-compatible products.
Edge finish affects both look and safety. Flat polished edges suit frameless mirrors and mirror walls, bevelled edges add an angled border that catches the light, and a simple arrised edge takes the sharpness off edges that will be hidden by a frame or channel.
To protect the edges, spray glass cleaner onto a soft cloth rather than directly onto the mirror, so liquid does not run down and soak into the bottom edge. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, and dry the edges after cleaning in bathrooms.
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.
Included as standard
- Cut-outs and drilled holes for sockets, switches or fixings

- Coast
- Feltham is well inland, around 54 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Feltham the midwinter sun reaches about 15° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.6 hours of daylight, rising to about 62° and 16.4 hours in midsummer. A mirror opposite or beside a window reflects daylight deeper into a room, which helps dark north-facing spaces through winter. Low direct sun on a large mirror can cause glare, so its position and any tint are worth considering.
- Access and setting
- 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.
- Rules in England
- 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.

Choosing your bespoke mirrors
Antique-effect mirror
Mirror with a deliberately aged, mottled finish, giving a vintage look for feature walls, alcoves and period-style rooms.
Low-iron mirror
Mirror made on low-iron glass, which reduces the slight green cast of standard glass for a brighter, more colour-accurate reflection.
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 Feltham: questions
How is a large mirror fixed to the wall?
Large mirrors are usually bonded with an adhesive made for mirror backing and supported along the bottom edge by a slim channel or clips. The support carries the weight while the adhesive cures and adds security afterwards. Smaller mirrors can be screw-fixed through drilled holes with decorative caps, which makes them easier to remove later.
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.
What affects the cost of a bespoke mirror?
The main cost drivers are the size and thickness of the mirror, the number of panels, the edge finish, any tint or low-iron glass, safety backing, cut-outs and the fixing method. Very large single sheets, access through narrow stairs and full mirror walls also affect the price. See the guide prices for typical ranges.
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.
