You might think choosing mirrors for your home would be easy and straightforward, but there is a wide selection to choose from; one common variety is beveled. Furniture City Glass & Mirror specializes in creating custom glass and mirrors for homes and business in High Point, NC. This includes cutting to accommodate your preferred light fixture. Here, their team takes the time to explain what a beveled mirror is and when you might choose one.

What Is a Beveled Mirror?

At first sight, a beveled mirror appears as if it has a frame around it. That’s because its edges were cut to a specific angle during the manufacturing process. The glass of these mirrors is always thicker in the middle portion and thinner on the edge. The thicker the glass is, the more you will notice the framed, beveled edge.

Why Should You Choose a Beveled Mirror?

Beveled mirrors have many advantages over ones with a straight edge. For example, due to the polishing process, you won’t find any sharp edges or corners. They are also more valuable than straight edge mirrors because they don’t need a frame.  

A gloomy room can be brightened up with a beveled mirror because the light will refract differently than a straight edge. It acts like a prism and causes a rainbow effect, which can make your room look more spacious.

Now that you know the difference between beveled and straight edge mirrors, you can see them in person. Talk to the staff at Furniture City Glass & Mirror at their convenient location in High Point.
