The "final touch" on any outstanding mirror installation is proper cleaning.
The techniques described here are good practices for you, so you can maintain the mirror for the life of your home.
The best and safest cleaner for a mirror is clean, warm water used with a soft cloth. Be careful not to allow the edges of the mirror to get or remain wet over a period of time.
Do not use any acid or alkali cleaners for mirror cleanup after installation. They can attack the surface and edges as well as the backing of the mirror. And never use an abrasive cleaner on any mirror surface.
Do not use cleaners with heavy ammonia bases. These too can damage the mirror edges and backing and result in a ruined mirror.
Remove surface marks or stubborn dirt with 0000 oil-free steel wool, not solvents. These could attack and damage the edges and backing.
Never spray any cleaner directly on to a mirror. Instead apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and then wipe the mirror. This will also prevent "puddling" at the mirror edge where the cleaner could attack the backing.
Always use soft, grit-free cloths when cleaning a mirror to reduce chances of scratching the surface.
Be sure to dry all joints and edges thoroughly to be certain no commercial cleaner comes in contact with the edge and backing.
A good cleaning routine can be accomplished simply and effectively by washing, rinsing and drying the mirror.
Note: Good ventilation will keep mirrors from "sweating" and creating condensing liquids that could be corrosive and damaging to mirrors.
Homeowners and contractors throughout the region have come to rely on Hellenbrand Glass to provide high-quality and affordable mirror solutions for virtually any application.

Standard Mirrors
Hellenbrand Glass purchased a glass-edging machine in 1994, since then we've been able to produce polished edged mirrors equal in quality to the manufacturer's standard pre cut mirrors. We can cut, grind and polish mirrors in any size you require, as long as it's within the limits of the stock sheet size. We stock mirror sheets in 144" x 36", 144" x 42", 144" x 48", 120" x 60", and 120" x 72". Other sizes may be special ordered.
Our Ultra Mirror can actually defend itself against the destructive elements that degrade a mirror's reflectance and lifespan. This is accomplished by applying an ultraviolet coating for superior strength, and by fine-tuning the silvering process to promote corrosion-resistance. The end result is a beautifully reflective mirror that exceeds all industry standards and comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
Beveled Mirrors
We stock ½" beveled mirrors 36" tall in the following widths: 24", 36", 42", 48", 54", 60", 66", and 72". These are the most commonly used sizes. Other standard sizes are also available.
Hellenbrand Glass recommends installing the bottom of the mirror 2" above the vanity's back splash and to choose the beveled mirror one size narrower than the width of the vanity, so as not to hide the beveled edge. Typically the mirrors are fastened with special mirror clips that match the contour of the beveled edge.
Besides the standard beveled mirrors, we also stock a 1" beveled edged oval mirror size 24" x 36", which is commonly used over a pedestal sink in a power room.
Hellenbrand Glass can provide custom beveled mirrors in endless shapes and sizes. We can custom order your specific sized beveled mirror with beveled edges ranging from ½" to 2" We also have decorative beveled mirror strips to accent either the edges of a vanity mirror or to highlight the joints between multiples mirrors. Whatever your custom beveled mirror requirements are, we're happy to help. Please call for lead-time and minimum/maximum size limitations.

Custom Fabricated Mirrors
Hellenbrand Glass is a full service custom glass fabrication company. We design and create custom mirrors in any size or shape (within sheet limitations). We have invested in equipment to shape and polish the edges of the mirror to make for a very consistent and clean look that adds to the quality of our finished products. Having our own equipment insures quality and timeliness to the finished product. By speeding up production without sacrificing quality we are able to offer very competitive prices. Cutting holes in glass to accommodate outlets, lights and sconces has become much easier.
Framed Mirrors
Stop by our showroom and see the wide variety of frame corner samples. We can custom size any frame to fit your needs. Adding beveling around the mirror will add depth and elegance. We have also applied lights to the surface of the mirrors to create the appearance of a larger area while adding a touch of class.
