Powys: made to measure mirrors
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.
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.
A bonded mirror follows the surface behind it, so an uneven wall can bend the reflection. We check flatness at survey, and on uneven plaster or stone walls the mirror may need a flat backing board or the wall levelling first to avoid a wavy, distorted image.
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.

What applies in Powys
In Wales, Approved Document N covers safety glazing: safety glass is needed in and around doors and in low-level glazing where people could walk into it.
Powys is inland, around 45 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.
Older rural homes often have uneven walls of stone or lime plaster, which can distort a bonded mirror unless the wall is levelled or a backing board is used. Damp solid walls also need checking before a mirror is fixed to them.

Choosing your bespoke mirrors
Heated demister pad
A thin heating pad bonded behind a bathroom mirror to keep an area clear of steam, wired in by a qualified electrician.
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.
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.
Bespoke Mirrors in Powys: questions
What is a safety-backed mirror and do I need one?
A safety-backed mirror has a film bonded across its back that holds the pieces together if the glass breaks. You should consider one wherever someone could knock or fall against the mirror, such as wardrobe doors, full-height mirrors, gyms, dance studios and children's rooms. We recommend it at survey when the position or use of the room calls for it.
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.
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.
Why do mirrors go black around the edges?
Black edges are corrosion of the silver layer behind the glass, usually caused by moisture or cleaning fluid getting into the edges, or by an adhesive that reacts with the backing. Bathrooms are especially at risk because of steam. The damage cannot be reversed, so the mirror needs replacing, ideally with better edge protection and a compatible adhesive.
