A beveled mirror refers to a mirror that has undergone the process of cutting its edges to a specific angle or size in order to produce a framed look. This leaves the glass thinner around the edges of the mirror. The large, middle portion is thicker creating a framed look. The beveling of edges creates a very elegant look and is used often on vanity mirrors and wall mirrors. The finished look is beautiful.
Beveled mirrors are elegant
The beveling of the glass enhances the appearance of any decorative glass or mirror project. The bevels act as prisms in the sunlight. The prisms seen create an interesting color diffraction. The diffraction highlights the glasswork. It also provides a spectrum of colors which you wouldn’t see without beveling. If the edges of the glass are to be covered, like as in a picture frame, then no edgework is required. Such glass is referred to as “clean cut” glass. If the edges are exposed, then edgework or a beveled edge is required. Most bevels are ½” or 1″. These are the most common, however, A Cutting Edge Glass and Mirror, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada has several other widths available.
