Custom Mirror FAQs

A custom mirror does more than reflect a room. It shapes light, makes a space feel bigger, and finishes a wall the way a stock mirror never quite can. At CFG Shower Doors & Closets, we fabricate and install custom mirrors across Southeast Florida from our Boca Raton showroom, and these are the questions homeowners and designers ask us most. If you don’t see yours here, give us a call at 561.989.8373.

What’s the difference between a custom mirror and an off-the-shelf mirror?

An off-the-shelf mirror comes in fixed sizes and standard shapes, so you’re stuck working around whatever the store happened to stock. A custom mirror is cut to your exact wall, opening, or design, which means no awkward gaps and no settling for “close enough.” We measure the space, account for outlets and fixtures, and fabricate the glass to fit. The result usually looks built-in rather than hung.

Can you make mirrors in custom shapes and sizes?

Yes. We cut mirrors to almost any rectangular, square, arched, round, or radius-cornered shape, and we can go oversized for a full feature wall. If you have a sketch, a template, or just a rough idea, bring it to the consultation and we’ll tell you what’s feasible. Very large mirrors are usually made from a single sheet when the dimensions allow, or seamed cleanly when they don’t.

What are frameless and beveled mirrors?

A frameless mirror has no surrounding frame, so the glass edge itself is finished, which gives a clean, modern look. A beveled mirror has an angled, polished border cut into the glass around the perimeter, adding a subtle decorative edge that catches light. You can combine the two, and both are popular for vanities, entryways, and living spaces. We’ll walk you through edge options at the showroom so you can see them in person.

Do you make bathroom vanity mirrors?

Vanity mirrors are one of our most requested projects. We can replace a builder-grade mirror with a single custom piece sized to your vanity, or do split mirrors over a double sink. We work around sconces, medicine cabinets, and outlets, and we can finish the edges to match the rest of your bathroom glass. It’s an easy upgrade that changes the whole feel of the room.

Can you install gym and dance studio wall mirrors?

Yes, and this is a common request for home gyms, dance rooms, and studios. Wall mirrors for these spaces are typically large-format and installed edge to edge for a continuous reflection. Because they’re big and mounted on a wall people move around, safety backing and secure mounting matter a lot here. We handle the layout, seaming, and installation so the finished wall is flat, level, and safe.

What is safety backing on a mirror?

Safety backing is a film applied to the back of the mirror that holds the glass together if it ever breaks, so the pieces stay in place instead of falling. It’s a smart choice for gyms, kids’ rooms, and any large mirror mounted where people gather. We often recommend it for oversized and floor-adjacent installations. Ask us whether it makes sense for your project.

How do you measure and install a custom mirror?

We start with an in-home measurement so we capture the true dimensions, wall condition, and any obstructions like outlets or trim. The mirror is then fabricated to those specs and installed using a combination of mechanical clips, mirror mastic, or a track system depending on size and location. Proper mounting is what keeps a heavy mirror secure for years, so we don’t cut corners on the hardware. Most installs are quick and clean.

What drives the cost of a custom mirror?

Price comes down to size, glass thickness, edge treatment, shape, and any special features like safety backing or antique finishes. A simple rectangular vanity mirror sits at one end, while an oversized shaped feature wall with beveled edges sits at the other. Installation complexity and access play a role too. The best way to get an accurate number is a free in-home consultation, where we can see the space and quote it properly.
