How to Measure for a Custom Mirror (and What We Need from You)
Most bathroom and gym mirror jobs come down to a clean width-by-height plus a note on edge style and access. Here is exactly how to measure so the quote comes back fast.
What's happening
Most homeowners measure once at the center and assume the wall is square. Walls almost never are — even on new construction. A 0.25-inch difference at the top vs. the bottom is normal, and ordering to the larger dimension means the mirror will not fit. The bigger problem: edge style affects price, lead time, and how the mirror looks against the wall, but most online glass calculators do not ask.
How the fix works
We use the smallest of three width measurements and the smallest of three height measurements as the order spec. Polished edge is the residential default — we recommend it for bathroom and gym installs unless the room is high-end remodel-grade and beveled fits the design. We ship from local fabricators, which means most custom mirrors are ready within a week of approved measurements. Site install with hidden cleats is the standard finish.
