Step 1 – Project intake and understanding your needs

Every project begins with a conversation. During the initial intake, NY Glass will ask a series of questions to understand what kind of mirrors and glass you need. Are you planning a full wall mirror for a home gym, a set of bathroom vanity mirrors, a retail storefront with large glass panels, or custom glass tops for furniture and shelving? The more details you can provide, the easier it becomes to design the right solution.

At this stage, you can share:

• Photos of the space or architectural drawings
• Rough measurements, if available
• Your preferred style: sleek and modern, classic beveled look, industrial, minimalistic, etc.
• Any functional requirements, such as impact resistance, safety glass, or special privacy needs

This step ensures NY Glass understands your goals, whether that is opening up a small room with a large mirror, creating a bright and clean commercial environment, or adding high-end glass elements to a renovation project.

Step 2 – Professional measurement and on-site consultation

Once you are ready to move forward, NY Glass typically arranges a professional on-site measurement. Precise measurements are critical for custom mirrors and glass panels, because every wall, ceiling, niche, and opening behaves differently in real life compared to a simple sketch.

During the site visit, the technician will:

• Confirm dimensions of the wall, opening, or furniture where glass or mirrors will be installed.
• Check for out-of-square conditions, slopes, or irregularities that need to be compensated in fabrication.
• Evaluate structural support and anchoring points for large or heavy panels.
• Discuss practical considerations like access, elevator size, and path to bring the glass into the building.

This is also the moment where you can ask detailed questions about aesthetics and performance. If you already know what you want in terms of style, you can jump directly to the section on design options to refine your choices.

Step 3 – Design options for mirrors and glass

After measurements are taken, NY Glass helps you finalize the design concept. This covers not only how large the mirrors or glass panels will be, but also what type of material, thickness, and finish best fits your project.

Typical mirror options include:

• Standard wall mirrors for bathrooms, closets, and dressing rooms.
• Full wall and floor-to-ceiling mirrors for home gyms, dance studios, yoga studios, and commercial fitness centers.
• Decorative mirrors with specific edge details (such as bevels) to create a more classic or luxurious look.

For glass products, common choices are:

• Clear or low-iron glass panels for interior walls and partitions.
• Tempered glass for added strength and safety, often used for storefronts and high-traffic areas.
• Back-painted or tinted glass for design elements like wall cladding, kitchen backsplashes, or decorative panels.
• Glass tops for tables and cabinets, cut precisely to match the underlying furniture.

You also select edge finishes (polished, beveled, seamed), mounting style (with visible clips, hidden channels, or custom hardware), and any special cutouts for outlets, fixtures, or lighting.

Step 4 – Fabrication, edge finishing, and quality control

Once design decisions are approved, the order moves into the fabrication stage. Here the measurements and design drawings are translated into actual glass and mirror pieces.

During fabrication, NY Glass will:

• Cut the mirror or glass to exact dimensions, taking into account any required notches or angles.
• Apply the specified edge finish, such as polished or beveled edges, to create a safe and visually refined product.
• Temper the glass, if the project requires safety or impact resistance.
• Perform inspections to ensure there are no defects such as chips, scratches, or distortions that would affect appearance or performance.

This step is where the quality of the final product is truly determined. A well-controlled fabrication process leads to mirrors and glass panels that are aligned perfectly with the real-world conditions measured earlier.

Step 5 – Installation day and what to expect

When fabrication is complete, NY Glass schedules an installation date. On installation day, the crew arrives with your custom mirror and glass pieces, along with the hardware and tools required to complete the job safely.

Typical installation steps include:

• Protecting surrounding surfaces such as floors, countertops, and furniture.
• Dry-fitting mirrors or glass panels to verify alignment with walls and openings.
• Marking and drilling anchor points, then securing hardware in a way that supports the weight and use of the glass.
• Mounting the mirrors or panels gradually, making precise adjustments to ensure they sit perfectly level and flush.
• Cleaning the surfaces and removing dust, labels, and adhesives so the finished installation looks pristine.

The installers also explain any specific considerations, such as waiting time before using the space, and how to avoid impacts or stress on the glass during the first hours after installation.

Step 6 – Pricing, timeline, and factors that affect your quote

Many clients want to know upfront how much a custom mirrors and glass project will cost and how long it will take. While every project is different, NY Glass typically bases pricing and timing on several key factors:

• Overall size and number of panels or mirrors.
• Type of glass or mirror (standard, low-iron, tempered, tinted, back-painted, etc.).
• Edge finishes and special treatments (beveling, polishing, protective coatings).
• Complexity of cutouts, angles, or notches required for the design.
• Installation conditions, including access, height, and any special mounting challenges.

The project timeline includes measurement, design approval, fabrication, and installation. Smaller jobs may be completed relatively quickly, while large commercial walls or storefront systems naturally require more time and coordination. NY Glass provides a personalized estimate and proposed schedule once all the details are clear.

Step 7 – Care, maintenance, and long-term performance

After installation, proper care will keep your mirrors and glass looking new for years. NY Glass usually recommends:

• Cleaning glass and mirrors with a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
• Avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the surface or damage backing on mirrors.
• Regularly wiping down gym mirrors, storefront glass, or high-touch areas to remove fingerprints and smudges.
• Occasionally checking mounting hardware to ensure that everything remains secure and properly aligned.

With simple, consistent maintenance, custom mirrors and glass panels will continue to enhance your space, reflect light, and create a feeling of openness and quality.
