Glass & Mirrors Long Island

There are several types of mirrors available, including plain mirrors, frameless mirrors, beveled mirrors, and antique mirrors. Plain mirrors are the most common and are used in most bathrooms and dressing rooms. Frameless mirrors are mirrors without a frame and are often used in modern and contemporary settings. Beveled mirrors have a thin, angled edge that reflects light in different ways, creating a more decorative look. Antique mirrors are mirrors that are made to look old or distressed.

To clean mirrors and glass, you can use a mixture of warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Apply the solution to a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface of the mirror. Rinse the mirror with clean water and dry it with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or scrubbers, as they can scratch the surface of the mirror.

Removing scratches from mirrors and glass can be a challenging task, and it depends on the severity of the scratches. Minor scratches can be removed using a mixture of baking soda and water, while deeper scratches may require professional polishing or replacement.

Hanging a mirror on the wall is a relatively simple task. First, measure the mirror and mark the center point on the wall. Then, locate the studs in the wall and mark them. Next, hold the mirror up to the wall and use a level to ensure that it is properly aligned. Once the mirror is level, attach the hanging hardware to the back of the mirror, and then use the hardware to secure the mirror to the wall.

To protect your mirror and glass from damage, you should handle them with care, avoid cleaning them with abrasive materials and keep them away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If you're moving the mirror or glass, it's best to take it down and pack it in a protective material.
