All About Beveled Mirrors

Mirrors can be cut smooth, polished flat, or pencil polished, but the most luxurious edges are bevelled. Many customers mistakenly use the term beveled for smoothed off, but the term has a special meaning in the glass industry.

A beveled mirror has a polished angled border that creates a light-diffracting edge adding elegance to both framed and unframed mirrors.

Beveled mirrors cost more than flat mirrors, but modern manufacturing methods have made them much more affordable - it's worth paying the slightly higher price for the highly polished edges.The cost of a straight bevel increases with the width, since a wider bevel requires more material to be removed.
Curved bevels cannot be made on automatic production machines: they require manual labor and are therefore much more expensive than straight bevels. In the past they were made by hand using stone or steel wheels with pumice and felt wheels for the finishing touches. Now they are made on beveling machines, which still require a lot of work and skill.

It is important to note that there is no quality difference in beveled mirrors and flat mirrors.

You can also choose from a multiple bevels. A single bevel creates a clean and classic look. However, if you want to make a decorative mirror, double or triple beveling is an option worth exploring. These overlapping bevels are not ideal if your interior design is more modern or minimalist. Multiple bevels can complete a sleek, glamorous look. The beveled mirror is specially designed to create an elegant look.

By adding beveled edges to your mirror, you can create a unique design for your space. Instead of a flat mirror, you can add a special design to your room that will make it stand out from standard rooms. If you want to add dimension to a room, a beveled mirror is a great way to do it. Beveled mirrors add depth to rooms as they reflect light well.
The beveled edges create a natural frame for the mirror. This means they can be used without adding a frame to the glass. Hang the beveled mirror individually for an attractive finish without an expensive or bulky frame. These mirrors are polished on the edges, they have fewer sharp edges. This makes them safer to use and install.
