Where can I get a bespoke mirror?

Question

I've just made some fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and want a mirror to fit it. Would a glaziers sell them cut to size, or would buying a 2nd hand mirror and having that cut down to size be the best/cheapest way? Or do B&Q do it?

Answer 1

By one from a car boot then go to your local windows supplier. Ours cut glass and mirrors pretty cheaply. Then if any thing does go wrong it hasn't cost u loads.

Answer 2

I would get a glass mirror, and a glass cutter.

Put the mirror on a solid suface like a table...(have some wet towels on the floor for glass splinters).

Now, put a straight edge on the glass, and clamp down with firm pressure. Run the glass cutter over the mirror..(you may want to put some oil on the glass first, to help with the glass cutter, and avoid shards and splinters).

Now, run it over a time or two, with firm pressure. Then, have the glass where you "scored it" over the edge of the table. Now, with a quick flick, smack the glass and it "should" snap clean.

If it does, then get some sandpaper and go over the edge to take the "sharpness" off.

If it doesnt, then get some wide vise grips, (the type they bend metal with), and put it on the line and snap down, and it should come clean.

Get a dremel tool with a grinder to make any sharp edge smooth.

I wish you well..

Answer 3

local inependent glazier would be best.

For a wardrobe you might want toughened glass or the safety film they can bond to the back of the mirror - they can advise.

Fulll height wardrobe mirror---about £100

B&Q would look at you blank.

Answer 4

glaziers will always cut mirrors to correct size.

Answer 5

Depends where you live? go to a picture framing shop they usually do stuff like that. One in New Mills near me.
