Benefits of Table Cover

There are many benefits in using glass as a cover to protect your valuable furniture:

Easy to clean and hygienic.
Does not scratch or get damaged easily.
The transparent nature of glass helps show the beauty of your valuable furniture.
Use ultra clear or low Iron glass for more transparency.
Use clear shield to make it even easier to keep your glass cover clean.
No more table cloth or covers to wash.
No more worries about stubborn stains.
Always custom made for a perfect fit
What You Need to Know About Glass Table Covers?
When used as a cover, thinner glass such as 1/4" is used most.

There is normally no need to temper the glass as there is ample support provided by the furniture.

The most common finish is a smooth polish but a decorative beveled edge can be used as well.

The corners of the glass are normally slightly rounded but the exact shape of the table can also be duplicated.

Send us a picture of the table and/ or a paper template for a precise fabrication.
Choose glass type or color according to your preference.

What Is The Difference Between Glass Table Tops And Glass Table Covers?
The main difference is glass thickness.

A thick glass table top can be used both as a protective glass table cover on existing furniture, and as the whole glass surface of a table on an existing pedestal.
It is not recommended to use a thin glass table cover as the whole surface of a glass table top.

At CUSTOM ANTIQUE MIRROR NEW YORK our process starts with clear or body tinted transparent glass. Cut to size, edges polished or bevelled and toughened, we then hand silver the toughened panels to create toughened antiqued mirrors.

Where mirror panels or tiles are being used behind a heat source such as an AGA or where there are socket cutouts required it's imperitive that toughened glass is used to prevent cracks occurring during or after installation.

In commercial environments too - toughened mirror glass is often the only acceptable material.

The benefits of toughened mirror:

Mirror Install – Cut Out For It?

If you want to save money on a new bathroom mirror you might consider installing it yourself. Depending on the size of the mirror, this can be done with relative ease, although I’d recommend finding yourself a buddy to lend a hand.

Mirror Size
The first step is figuring out what size mirror you want. Mirror mounted to a wall is nearly always ¼” in thickness, but you’ll need to figure out your dimensions. Currently, there is not one sole discernible trend in mirrors. Check out Pinterest or Houzz and you’ll find a wide variety of mirror styles. The common thread between the trendy mirrors featured on these sites is that they are somewhat unconventional. In the past few years, designers have taken a liking to the long, narrow, horizontally aligned mirror that hangs quite a ways off the vanity. There has also been a lot of interest in mirrors on standoffs, mirrors backlit by LEDs, and round mirrors, both small enough that they fit little more than a face and large enough that they seem like they might continue to grow and engulf the entire bathroom. That said, many homeowners still opt for the classic, practical, rectangular mirror set upon the vanity. If the mirror is fitting tight between two walls, I’d recommend subtracting ¼ – ½” from the available width, otherwise you’ll most likely end up with some battle wounds along the adjacent walls. Stock heights for mirror are typically 42, 48, and 72”, but a glass and mirror shop can cut a mirror to any custom size. The last thing to consider when thinking about mirror size is whether or not there are any impediments that exist in your home that might prevent you from getting a mirror your desired size into the bathroom and in place – this includes, medicine cabinets, outlet plates, tight turns, etc. Don’t give up hope just because obstacles exist! Spend some time thinking about it and you’re likely to come up with a solution that will get your mirror where it needs to be.

Hanging Your Mirror
Next, you’ll have to think about how you want the mirror mounted. The most common mechanical fastener is the mirror clip. You’ve probably looked at countless mirrors supported by clips in your life and never took notice of them. That means they’re doing their job! Clips are there to support while being visually unobtrusive. The next most common application would be to install the mirror into j-bar. This is a continuous piece of j-shaped (duh) metal that runs along the top and bottom of a mirror. When going to the ceiling with the mirror, j-bar is your only option since clips need extra space at the top, so they can be slid down over the mirror to secure it. The top channel of j-bar is slightly deeper than the bottom channel so the mirror can slip up into the top metal and then drop back down to sit it in place. If you’re purchasing a pattern mirror, like an oval or the mirrors picture below, from a glass shop, you’ll want to consider a mirror hanger, a strong metal hanger that adheres to the mirror’s backside. These are easy to apply and hang. I wouldn’t recommend DIYing a stand-off mirror unless you’re certain you’re up for the challenge.

The type of hardware you use will affect what size mirror you order and where you’ll need to drill holes to mount your hardware. Mirror going into clips should be cut at the exact height you want off the vanity, backsplash, etc., but the holes for your top clips need to be drilled 3/8” down from where the top of the mirror will end up. To figure out the cut height of the mirror that will be installed using j-bar, you’ll need to subtract 9/16” from the height at which you want the top channel mounted. This allows the extra room to slide the mirror up into the channel.

Mirrors Make an Unexpected Appearance in the Kitchen

Mirrors are a popular accessory for nearly every room of the house, so why not the kitchen as well? Thoughtful and strategic placement of mirrors is an easy way to reflect available light, visually opening up a room to make it look more spacious. 

Above the stove. Mirrors emphasize the details and colors of items caught in their reflection. What’s reflected in this kitchen is a striking collection of copper pans hanging from a pot rack.

Tip: Strategically hang mirrors so that they reflect an appealing view.

According to feng shui principles, mirrors symbolize water, which clashes with fire, and therefore should hang above a stove only to allow cooks to see what’s behind them. Aside from this concern, lining an expanse behind the stove can be extremely effective in giving the illusion of a much larger space. In this example, the mirror’s antiqued appearance was achieved by distressing. 

Tip: Avoid installing regular mirrored glass as a kitchen backsplash. It can easily crack from heat exposure or an accidental strike with a heavy pan or object. Look for tempered glass instead.

On a shelf. In this kitchen, the mirror hangs so it can rest on an open shelf. The tilt permits it to reflect the room’s more attractive design elements, such as the light fixture and cabinetry, as opposed to the plain ceiling.

Tip: Place mirrors so that they reflect the best aspects of a room.

Above the sink. A popular kitchen layout locates the sink beneath a window, but if that isn’t possible, why not create the illusion of a window by hanging a mirror above the sink instead? The placement here certainly tops the list for most charming uses of a mirror in the kitchen.

What Makes a Mirror a Mirror?

We take them for granted, but there is more to mirrors than meets the eye. Here’s why Custom Antique Mirror loves mirrors, and you should too!

History of Mirrors

A mirror is typically made of glass with a flat or curvy surface, and has a reflective covering over it. Mirrors aren’t only for appearance; they are also used in many technological and scientific components.

Before mirrors were manufactured, pools of water were often used to see a reflection. Mirrors date back to completely raw products, as polished stones, metals and black volcanic glass obsidian were used for this purpose.  

How Mirrors Are Made

There’s just a few components needed to make a mirror, including pure silver nitrate, distilled water and ammonia. Some differences occur during the production of commercial mirrors.

First, a small amount of silver nitrate is dissolved in distilled water, with the addition of diluted ammonia until the mixture visibly changes. A different mixture of Rochelle salts and silver nitrate is boiled and filtered. The mixtures are then poured onto a properly heated piece of glass and ready to dry. To preserve the silver, a coat of paint is often added to the back of the glass.

Benefits of Mirrors

Mirrors serve many different purposes, and that’s why we think they are so great! Here are some reasons why mirrors should be incorporated into your home or business:

• Mirrors make the room appear larger.
• Mirrors make a statement. The styles, sizes and designs are extensive, which makes it easy to incorporate into just about any space.
• Mirrors attract more lighting from surrounding windows. The light reflects off of the mirror with brightens the rest of the room.
• Mirrors near the door or hallway are helpful when rushing out the door. If you have a meeting or heading to lunch, it can’t hurt to make sure you’re looking your best!

Antique Mirror Glass

Antique mirror glass has been an effective weapon in the interior designer’s arsenal for years now, and it shows no signs of becoming unfashionable. A contrast to some of the clean cut modern designs you’ll see in recent architecture and home magazines, these decorative frames and distressed mirror panels can add a rustic feel to any room.

Antique mirror glass is a vintage style of mirror that often looks rusty or decaying. They’re great for adding that homespun feel to an office, bar or restaurant and their versatility means they can be used as a feature piece on a wall, cut into tiles or even just as a more conventional mirror.






Antiqued mirror tiles are incredibly versatile and as a result of this, there isn’t just one place where they should be used exclusively. In our experience, an antique mirror backsplash looks great in kitchens and bathrooms, but they can also look fitting in a hallway or stairwell. Similar to any other piece of furniture, the surrounding environment will have a major impact on the success of the mirror, desk, chair; whatever item it is you wish to add.
