What Is The Best Height Mirror Wall For My Gym, Dance or Pilates Studio?
The height recommendation for a gym mirror, weight room mirror, dance mirror, or yoga studio mirror, is 5′ or 6′, placed 6″ to 18″ above the baseboard. The best size mirror wall will serve to complement the space (not overwhelm it), enhance the existing lighting, and be mindful of wanted (and unwanted) reflections. It may sound like a lot, but making sure you get the perfect mirror wall size and placement is easy and worry-free with Grossman Mirrors. How? Because their service includes phone support and a free on-site consultation!
Are Frameless 1/4-Inch Thick Mirrors Better Quality + Safer?
Yes! Frameless 1/4-inch thick mirrors are the recommended industry-standard for safety and durability. They have a finished, polished edge, and are installed with a 3/4 inch facing J-channel. Framed mirrors are thinner, 3/16 inch or less, and rough cut (left with jagged edges). The thinner the mirror, the more susceptible they are to breaking and bending. When a mirror bends or twists, it distorts the reflection. Framed mirrors also cannot be removed and rehung. Always ask for frameless, American-made 1/4-inch mirrors.
How Long Will It Take To Have My Mirror Wall Installed?
With Grossman Mirrors, a mirror wall installation can be scheduled in as little as 5 to 10 business days! How can they do it so quickly? They only install mirrors, they stock 1/4-inch mirrors in many sizes, and they cut their own mirrors! This means mirrors are always in stock, accelerating the turnaround.

What Mirror Installation Method Is The Safest?
Safety is paramount when hanging large mirrors. Be sure to ask the mirror company about their mirror wall installation method. The safest and only industry-recognized method to hang 1/4 inch mirrors is with generous mirror adhesive, screws, and 3/4 inch J channel. Plastic clips or brackets are unsafe installation methods to use for large, heavy mirrors.
Will The Mirror Walls Be Safely Installed By Experienced Glaziers?
As you can probably guess, large mirrors are very heavy! That’s why they must be handled and installed only by experienced, professional glaziers. Only a professional mirror installation company knows how to transport and hang mirrors safely and securely. In addition to safety concerns, a mishandled mirror can get damaged or scratched before or during the installation.
Is The Mirror Installation Covered By A Warranty?
Who can you call if you have concerns or questions about your mirrors after installation? A professional mirror company will warranty their materials and their installation methods. Their installation work is covered against any defects and the mirrors are guaranteed not to de-silver with proper care.
What Is The Proper Way To Clean Mirror Walls?
The best way to keep your mirrors in great condition for many years is to use the Glass Association of North America’s (GANA) proper mirror cleaning guidelines.
Is The Mirror Company Insured?
