PREPARING FOR YOUR ANTIQUE MIRROR

Accurate Measurements Give a Perfect Fit

At Antique Mirror Glass we can provide you with a quote for your Mirror tiles, panels, feature walls and splash-backs.

 

Ultimately we want your glass to look stunning and to fit perfectly. For any complex spaces, or any areas where panels of Antique Mirror Glass will be set next to each other, we’d recommend asking a professional to complete your final measurements, and provide sizes for each individual piece or panel your require. We are happy to talk through this process with your tradesperson if necessary.

Our tips for

The Perfect Fit

Providing CAD Drawings or a Sketch

We require the measurements of your panels to the nearest millimetre. You can email us a sketch showing dimensions in mm and cutout locations to the centre of the hole/powerpoint or raked edges. (Raked edges - are straight edges on a panel where one or more corners is not a 90 degree right angle. See information below regarding raked edges).

If you are able to provide a CAD drawing for production this would always be our preference. Please email us with both DXF and a PDF copy of your file.

Providing a Template

If providing a template for your design, only MDF or Plywood templates can be accepted, in order to ensure they can be scanned successfully and replicated accurately. No other materials can be used for templates. Templates must be exact to size with no addition or subtraction requirements.

  • Multiple Panels
    We require one template per panel of mirror. We cannot accept a single large template.

  • Cutouts
    You can either physically cut out the holes in the templates or mark the centre point of standard socket cutouts on the templates.

  • Edges
    Templates should be provided with straight edges, unless there is a definite shape requirement.

  • Internal Cutouts
    There will always be a radius corner on any internal cutouts of at least 1.5x the thickness of the glass. The internal cutouts will have a ground edge rather than a highly polished edge.

Sending Us Your Template:
Please ensure that you mark the template with your NAME & which side is the FACE. Pack it carefully to avoid any damage to the edges or corners in transit.
