What Is The Best Size Mirror Wall For My Home Gym, Dance Studio, or Living Space?
The optimal mirror wall sizes vary from location to location, however, in a gym mirror, weight room mirror, dance mirror, or yoga studio mirror, the height recommendation is 5′ or 6′, placed 12″ to 18″ above the baseboard. However, living area and accent mirrors, often called floor-to-ceiling or full-wall mirrors, can be as tall as 8′. Universally, the best size mirror wall will serve its function, complement the space – not overwhelm it – enhance the existing lighting and be mindful of 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. Why? Because their service includes a free on-site consultation!
Are Frameless Mirrors Better Quality?
Yes! Frameless mirrors are a durable 1/4 inch thick. They have a finished, polished edge, hung 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. Grossman Mirrors only installs industry-standard, 1/4-inch thick frameless mirrors in commercial + residential settings.

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. Proper installation of 1/4 inch thick mirrors includes generous adhesive, screws, and 3/4 inch J channel.

Can The Mirrors Be Removed and Rehung?
When a gym or dance studio grows, they sometimes need to relocate or reconfigure their space.

It is important to note, that most framed mirrors cannot be removed or rehung without breaking. However, Grossman’s frameless mirrors can be removed and it is a service they provide!
