Door Seals: We provide a removable brush seal on the door along with a clear fire glazed acrylic half round seal to the threshold on all installations.

Curved splashbacks also available. Splashbacks with photographs and/or wall paper designs on the back are also available. For these, we need good quality photographs

Sizes: Only limited by our ability to handle the product. Show us the area or your plans.

Cut outs: All power points, GPO, range hood screw holes, holes for taps and shower heads have to be measured before the glass is toughened. Once it is toughened no alterations can be made.

Sizes: The only limitation is the logistics of being able to handle the end product. Being float glass it has to be handled with care. Show us the area or your plans and we will advise how big we can go.

Installation: The mirror can be attached directly to the wall, offset from the wall, with aluminum border and then attached to the wall or attached to MDF board and then to the wall.

Wet Areas: Mirrors used as splashbacks in showers or wet areas need to be toughened or laminated.
