How to Execute Mirroring on a Wall?

Mirroring on a wall can be considered one of the fascinating Iranian arts with a long history. You can become familiar with it by visiting historical buildings, but in this article, we will share with you how to execute Mirroring and the important points that should always be considered by the practitioners of this art.

However, many people have a misconception about Mirroring on walls and think that any mirror installed on the wall of a house or other spaces is called Mirroring. But that’s not the case, and Mirroring is a general term that includes various aspects, with the most important being decorative mirrors. Decorative mirrors are different from ordinary Mirroring (ordinary mirror work: mirrors that are installed on a specific frame on the wall and can be moved).

The only difference between decorative Mirroring and ordinary mirror work is that in decorative Mirroring, cut pieces are adhered to the wall in specific shapes using materials such as glue and other similar materials, and they remain fixed, acting as a kind of wall covering. But in ordinary Mirroring, mirrors have the ability to move and are used in simpler designs with smaller volumes.

Mirroring on a wall has its own stages, and to ensure that mirrors are installed correctly and in accordance with existing standards, the client or the person carrying out the work must go through these stages.

  • Mirroring Stages:
  • The first step you need to take is to create an overall design. For this purpose, calculate the area of the wall that is to be Mirroring. Then, choose your desired design or the client’s choice.
  • The second step is pattern making. In this step, you need to transfer the chosen design onto the work surface and cut mirror pieces accordingly using a CNC machine. A CNC machine provides high precision in cutting mirrors, with almost zero margin of error. In large Mirroring projects, a CNC machine can save you time and money. Keep in mind that Mirroring is a delicate job, and even the smallest mistake in cutting pieces can ruin the entire work.

The next step is processing and polishing the mirrors. Usually, in this stage, with the help of machines like bevelers, mirrors are cut in various shapes and create specific angles on them. Much of the modern Mirroring ‘s appearance is owed to the processing done in this stage.
