The Glass Mirror Company operates a policy of Fairness, Courtesy and Co-operation for all our customers and as such we will strive to resolve customer issues amicably, without having to resort to terms and conditions of sale. However, as a business, we are obliged to have them in place.
By placing an order with us via the website, in person or by telephone you agree to be bound by the Terms & Conditions set out below. If you receive a confirmation email of your order, you must check that the details are correct as soon as possible and you should print out and keep a copy for your records. This confirmation e-mail amounts to an acceptance by the company of your offer to buy goods from us and this acceptance is effective regardless of whether or not you receive the e-mail.
The Glass Mirrors Company is free to withdraw from a prospective contract at any time prior to delivery. This also applies in the case of any error or inaccuracy in respect of the goods, any description applied to the goods, the availability of the goods or the order itself. Price and availability information is subject to change without notice. Certain mouldings used in the production of our mirrors may be unavailable at the time of order. In such circumstances, the company will use an alternative moulding of equal quality and similar in style. Therefore mirror designs and styles may vary slightly from those shown on our website.
Processing Of Order
The company stock 100s of mirrors for immediate despatch and aim to ship all ready-made items within 2- 3 working days, although some items are made to order and may take up to 7 – 14 days from the date of your order. A small icon next to the product will tell you whether the item is in stock and also advise you if an item is normally made to order. Where an order is received for an item that is marked as out of stock we regret we are not able to supply dates when our suppliers may get an item in stock however we will keep you updated by E-mail as to the status of your order (unless you ask us not to) Please note that orders for two or more items, we may part-ship if one or more of the items are unavailable. The company aims to make all made-to-measure mirrors within 14 – 28 days, however in rare cases this may be exceeded due to circumstances beyond our control or where the bespoke item is specialist. Where an item is delayed we will do our best to keep it to the minimal as we can.
Please note, in the case of bespoke framed mirrors you have the opportunity before placing an order to request a small sample of your preferred frame mouldings, enabling you to see first hand the colour, size and style of the frame moulding you have chosen. If a sample is requested we will contact you shortly after it has been dispatched to confirm your order requirements. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept cancellations of bespoke orders after this point. Note: Where carriage is charged, this will be shown on your invoice as a separate service and deemed complete upon your receipt of the goods.
Mirror Adhesive Disclaimer: supply only premium quality glass mirrors using either Pilkington Optima, Guardian Ultra or similar quality glass mirrors that meet EN1036 standards. Our website offers specialist mirror adhesives that are suitable for use with both these products and will not cause any adverse effects to the mirror.
When purchasing your own mirror adhesive, please make sure that it is suitable for use with the above glass mirrors. If in doubt please refer to the manufactures guidelines of the mirror adhesive.
We also provide mirror adhesive for use with acrylic mirrors. This has been designed not to harm the mirror or the plastic of the acrylic mirrors we sell and as such is recommended. If you purchase your own mirror adhesive, please make sure that it is suitable for use with plastic mirrors. If in doubt please refer to the manufactures guidelines of the mirror adhesive.
The company strongly advises the use of the mirror adhesive we provide, when hanging our mirrors as they have been stringently tested by the manufacturers and will not cause damage to our mirrors. Unfortunately, the company will not accept liability for damage caused to mirrors where the third party adhesive has been using and/or where the manufacture guidelines for hanging the mirror have not been followed.
It is highly recommended to follow our guideline as we know from experience that not all mirror adhesives are alike.
Please note: Whilst smaller mirrors will normally fix to the wall in 5 – 10 mins, medium sized mirror can take a little longer and we generally recommend the use of temporary tape or painters tape to hold larger mirrors whilst the glue dries.
As mirror Adhesive can take up to 24 hours to completely dry we advise the use of a firm baton under the mirror to carry the mirror’s weight whilst the adhesive dries. Once the glue has dried you can remove the baton.
When ordering a bespoke mirror with a heating pad, the Clearview pad number given on the screen is only an advisory as we will need to check your order to ensure that it will fill and in some cases may need to make an adjustment.
Delivery Policy
The company will give you notice of a scheduled (or otherwise agreed) delivery date, to allow you to make the necessary arrangements to receive the mirror.

If you are unable to do this, we can provide a second person at an additional charge but must be contacted in advance for a quote.

Our delivery team can happily unload to a ground floor room, however they are not insured to deliver above ground floor as our insurers will not cover this. As such we regret that they can not deliver to any upstairs rooms nor can they collect from them.

In some parts of the country, deliveries may be made by third-party agents on our behalf.

Note that international shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
Manufacturing Tolerances
With all handmade items made to measure there are certain manufacturing tolerances that come in to play, especially with wood mouldings. When Cutting heads wear this leads to moulding dimension changes which in turn can result in a slightly different overall frame size. These tolerances apply to all mirrors and frames and are normally kept to a minimum but 5-15mm is not uncommon and is deemed as within our manufacturing tolerance.
Should you require a more accurate size within 3-5mm where for example a frame must fit into a recess please ensure this is requested at the time of order, as sizes within our normal tolerance range will not be rectified. Where differences exceed sizes in our normal tolerance range, the will be replaced under our 100% satisfaction guarantee scheme.
The size for all our readymade mirrors is given as an approximate size and can vary slightly, please bear this in mind when fitting into tight spaces or recessed etc.
Please note: Certain Mirrors are described as Aged, shabby or Antique Effect. These mirrors are deliberately distressed so that they are in keeping with that particular mirrors design. As each mirror is made independently the distress shown might vary from the photograph on our website, if in doubt please contact our sales team.
Natural Wood Disclaimer: If you are purchasing any of our natural wood products please be aware as with all solid wood – natural flaws, minor imperfections, knotting, colour and grain variances may also be present in the wood.
Acrylic Advisory Note: Acrylic mirror sheet does not have the rigidity of glass and is not offered as a direct replacement for applications where glass mirror may be more suitable. During normal use, visual distortion may occur – such distortion may be exaggerated when using larger pieces. A thicker piece of the acrylic mirror will be less flexible and therefore maintain better optical integrity. Correct installation and sufficient material thickness can reduce visual distortion but will not completely eliminate it.
Visual distortion is not a manufacturing fault but an inherent characteristic of the material. It is important that you satisfy yourself of the material’s suitability for your particular application before use. Please ask for more details if this is not clear, as we CAN NOT offer refunds based on the natural properties of the product.
Important note Due to the nature of this product, there may be minor marks in the mirror for full details please see our Acrylic Mirror and Two Way Mirror Finish Surface fact sheet.
In respect of the Art Deco Mirrors with coloured panels, please note that no two mirrors are the same. This is because the handcrafted nature that makes the stained glass effect gives a different finish each time, with each colour, style and shade varying slightly. Any art Deco image is only shown as indicative of the colour only i.e. Green, Red etc
In respect of two-way mirror or tv mirror, samples can be provided and are available on our website so that you can ensure that the two-way mirror or tv mirror is suitable for it’s intended purpose in the environment provided.
Finally please be aware that photographs on our website our for illustration only and can vary from the actual product dependant on varying factors.
