Gym wall mirrors for homes and businesses in Surrey
Black edges, often called edge creep, are corrosion of the silver layer, usually started by moisture or cleaning fluid getting into the edges, or by an unsuitable adhesive. Once the silver has corroded it cannot be restored, so the mirror has to be replaced.
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.
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.

What applies in Surrey
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.
Surrey is inland, around 36 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
Antique-effect mirror
Mirror with a deliberately aged, mottled finish, giving a vintage look for feature walls, alcoves and period-style 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.
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.
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.
Bespoke Mirrors in Surrey: questions
How should I clean a mirror without damaging it?
Spray glass cleaner onto a soft, lint-free cloth rather than directly onto the mirror, then wipe and buff dry. That stops liquid running down and soaking into the bottom edge, which is where black edges usually start. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, and dry the edges after cleaning in bathrooms.
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.
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.
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.
