To order made to measure mirrors follow these straightforward key steps to ensure a high-quality result tailored to your needs:

1. Measure Accurately

• Measure the exact space where the mirror will be installed (width and height).
• Double-check dimensions and consider whether you need space for mounting brackets or a frame.
• For wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling mirrors, allow a slight tolerance (typically 2–5 mm) to ensure fit.

2. Choose Your Mirror Type

• Standard mirror (clear, silver-backed) — most common.
• Tinted (grey, bronze) — for a more decorative or subdued look.
• Antique or distressed — for vintage aesthetics.
• Safety backing — essential for bathrooms, gyms, or commercial settings.

3. Decide on Edges and Finishing

• Polished edges — smooth and clean.
• Beveled edges — a decorative slant around the edges.
• Framed or frameless — depends on style and installation.

4. Think About Mounting Options

• Wall-mounted with clips or adhesive (frameless).
• Framed mirror (can be hung like artwork or bolted).
• Ask about wall type (plaster, tile, drywall) to determine suitable fixings.

5. Find a Reputable Supplier

• Look for local glass and mirror companies or online specialists (like Preston Glass and Glazing).
• Read reviews, ask for examples, and compare prices.

6. Ask About Delivery & Installation

• Some mirrors are fragile or heavy — professional installation is often recommended.
• Ensure the company provides secure packaging and, ideally, insured delivery.
