 Mirrors
We
always keep a small stock of 4mm mirror glass, in order that we can re-glaze customers
own frames or make up plain mirrors.
We also
try to keep a selection of standard size bevelled mirrors, which are now available
in a wide range of sizes, from
10 x 8 inches to 48 x 36 inches. Sizes
not in stock can usually be obtained quickly. The
only limitation regarding framing mirrors is that being heavier than the normal
combination of picture glass and mount, a bit more consideration
needs to be given to the ability of a moulding to take the weight.

Very
often a mirror needs to be sited in a position where there may be a constraint
on size.
If this is the case then bear in mind that the above
sizes are just the
glass sizes; and certainly if you are thinking of a mirror,
say,
24 x 18 inches or over - then a suitable weight of moulding will increase
the overall size by at least 2 inches each way (to 26 x 20). Cord
or wire can be used in the same way as hanging pictures,
however if it is
necessary to have the mirror flush to the wall then we
do have special slotted
plates that are hidden from view, but these
are not suitable for fixing to
all profiles of moulding. The
normal type of brass mirror plate can be used , these fix the
mirror to the
wall with screws, but do protrude slightly beyond
the outer edge of the moulding. |
