Expert Custom Mirror Solutions in Paddington
At Paddington Glazier, we understand that a perfectly positioned mirror is more than just a reflective surface; it is a design element that transforms light and space. Living and working here, we know the unique charm of the local architecture, from the classic worker's cottages on the steep streets of Red Hill to the renovated Queenslanders in Auchenflower.
When you are looking for high-quality Custom Mirrors Paddington, you need a local team that understands the nuances of these homes. We don't just supply glass; we craft bespoke solutions that fit the often 'out-of-square' character of heritage buildings.
Our team takes immense pride in being the local authority on glass. We do not outsource our work to a national network; when you call us, you speak directly to the glaziers who will be measuring, cutting, and installing your mirrors. Whether you are a homeowner looking to add a feeling of depth to a hallway or a builder needing precise bathroom fit-outs for a new development, we bring our own trucks and our own experienced staff to every job. We are committed to delivering optical clarity and safe, secure installation that enhances the aesthetic value of your property.
Mirror Types & Finishes
We offer a variety of mirror stocks and edge finishes to suit both modern and traditional aesthetics. All mirrors are processed locally to ensure quality control.
Mirror Cut to Size
We provide a fully bespoke service for residential and commercial applications. Whether you need a specific shape for a dressing room, a gym wall, or a feature piece for a hallway, we cut to your exact specifications.
Precision cutting for out-of-square walls common in older Brisbane homes.
Multiple edge finishes including Polished, Flat Ground, or Bevelled.
Options for Tinted (Bronze/Grey) or Clear Silver finishes.
Essential safety backing applied to comply with human impact requirements.
Frameless Vanity Mirrors
A staple for modern bathrooms in Paddington, our frameless vanity mirrors offer a sleek, borderless design that maximises light reflection and makes spaces appear larger.
Highly polished edges for a safe, sophisticated finish.
Custom shapes available (Arched, Oval, Rectangular, or Organic).
Installation using concealed fixings or glue-fixing for a 'floating' appearance.
Superior moisture resistance to withstand bathroom humidity.
Frameless Mirror Wardrobe Doors
Transform your bedroom with our frameless mirror wardrobe doors. This product combines functionality with a high-performance sliding door system.
Full-length reflective surfaces that double the visual depth of the room.

Bevelled Edge Mirrors
For a touch of traditional elegance or a decorative focal point, we offer high-quality bevelled edge mirrors. The perimeter catches the light and act as a frame in itself.
Bevel widths typically ranging from 10mm to 30mm depending on glass thickness.
Acts as a prism, catching and refracting light to create a rainbow effect at the edges.
Versatile design that suits both heritage Queenslanders and contemporary interiors.
Available for both wall-mounted mirrors and vanity applications.
The Risks
Why Professional Mirror Installation Matters
Many homeowners are tempted by the low cost of off-the-shelf mirrors found in big-box hardware stores, but these products often fail to meet the specific requirements of Paddington's unique housing stock.
Standard mirrors come in fixed sizes that rarely suit the specific dimensions of a renovated bathroom or a custom walk-in robe. Furthermore, mass-produced mirrors often use thinner glass and lower-quality silvering, leading to optical distortion—the 'fun-house' effect—and a higher susceptibility to 'desilvering' or black creep around the edges due to humidity.
Walls in older homes are rarely perfectly plumb. Store-bought mirrors often leave unsightly gaps or dangerous stress points.
The Professional Advantage
We Control The Entire Process
This is where our expertise becomes essential. We utilise laser measuring tools to assess the exact geometry of your space. As your local glazing experts, we solve these problems by cutting mirrors to the exact millimetre, ensuring a seamless fit regardless of wall irregularities.
We also use the correct industrial-grade adhesives and mechanical fixings that can withstand the humidity of a bathroom environment, ensuring your mirror stays safe, secure, and free from corrosion for years to come. Do not risk safety or style; trust our team to handle the heavy lifting and precision work.
From Consultation to Installation: Our Local Process
Our process is designed to be seamless, transparent, and conducted entirely by our in-house team.
1
Consultation
We schedule a site visit to your property. We don't just measure; we assess the wall material to determine the safest fixing method and check for deviations using laser levels.
2
Fabrication
Once agreed, we fabricate your mirror with precision cutting and edge polishing. If your walls are out of square, we create a template for a perfect niche fit.
3
Installation
Our trucks arrive fully equipped. We use neutral-cure silicones and premium mounting tapes or mechanical clips, adhering to a 'clean as we go' policy.
4
Handover
We verify the installation is secure and clean the glass thoroughly before handing it over to you, leaving your home brighter and feeling larger.
Strict Adherence to AS1288 Safety Standards
Safety is not optional; it is our primary obligation. As fully licensed glaziers, we ensure every installation complies strictly with AS1288:2006 Glass in Buildings – Selection and Installation.
For mirrors, this is critical regarding human impact safety. Any mirror installed in a situation where it might be mistaken for a doorway, or in high-risk areas like wardrobes and bathrooms, is treated with care. We apply Grade A safety vinyl backing to our wardrobe mirrors. If the glass breaks, the vinyl holds the shards together, preventing injury.

Building Considerations in Paddington and Red Hill
Paddington is not just a service area to us; it is our backyard. We understand the specific challenges and beauty of building in this area. We know that installing a splashback in a renovated worker's cottage on a steep block in Red Hill requires a different approach than fitting a mirror in a modern apartment complex in Milton.
We appreciate the community spirit here, and we strive to contribute to it by being the reliable local experts you can turn to. We understand the local council regulations regarding pool fencing and balustrades in this specific terrain, ensuring your project is not only beautiful but also fully compliant with local laws.

Caring for Your Mirrors to Prevent Desilvering
Mirrors require specific care to maintain their clarity and prevent 'edge creep' or desilvering. We recommend cleaning your mirrors with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth and a specific glass cleaner or methylated spirits.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the mirror surface, as the liquid can run down the glass and pool at the bottom edge, attacking the silver backing. Instead, apply the cleaner to the cloth first, then wipe the mirror. Ensure the edges are kept dry.
Ventilation Tip
In high-humidity areas like bathrooms, good ventilation is crucial. If you notice condensation, wipe the edges dry immediately to protect the silver coating.
