When you’re trying to upgrade a space, a custom mirror is often one of the most cost-effective and high-impact ways to do it. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating a bathroom, or creating a mirror wall for a gym or studio, the right mirror makes all the difference.

Pure Glass Solutions is a Winnipeg-based company that specializes in made-to-measure, cut-to-fit mirror installations. Below are the most common questions we get from customers in the Winnipeg area.

What is a custom mirror, and why would I need one?

A custom mirror is cut to your exact dimensions and design needs. This is different from buying a standard-size mirror off the shelf. With custom mirrors, you get the right size, the right shape, and the right fit for your space. You can also add features like cutouts for light fixtures, plugs, or oddly placed corners. It’s ideal when your space isn’t a perfect rectangle or when you’re following a specific interior design plan.

Can you cut mirrors around plugs, lights, or wall fixtures?

Yes, and that’s one of our specialties. We can cut precision holes and notches directly into the mirror to fit around vanity lights or wall sconces, electrical outlets or switches, and even thermostats or security sensors. This kind of work requires experience and exact measurements, which most general contractors or glass shops don’t typically offer. It’s a big reason customers choose us.

Do you install mirror walls for home gyms or fitness studios?

Absolutely. Large mirror walls are one of our most popular services. We regularly install them in home gyms, personal training studios, dance spaces, and condo gyms. We use proper mounting systems like J-channels and can include safety backing to make sure everything is secure and built to code.

Do you only work in residential homes?

No. We install custom mirrors in both homes and commercial spaces. These include bathrooms and bedrooms, walk-in closets and entryways, gyms, fitness studios and yoga rooms, retail stores and salons, restaurants and medical offices, and new construction homes and renovation projects.

What types of mirror edges can I choose from?

We offer different edge finishes depending on where the mirror will be installed. Seamed edges are the most common and cost-effective, with smooth but unfinished sides. Polished edges give the mirror a sleek, finished look. Beveled edges add a sloped cut to the front face for a more decorative style. We’ll recommend the best edge based on your project and budget.

Do you offer safety backing?

Yes. For areas where the mirror could be bumped, such as gyms or spaces with kids, we strongly recommend adding safety backing. This protects the mirror from shattering dangerously if it ever breaks. It’s especially important in commercial installations or when the mirror goes from floor to ceiling.

What does “cut-to-fit” really mean?

It means we measure your space precisely and then have the mirror cut to the exact specifications you need. We account for walls that aren’t perfectly square, odd dimensions, fixture placements, and anything else that could interfere with a clean install. This avoids the sloppy look of oversized mirrors or risky trimming on-site.

Do you offer quotes before installation?

Yes. Our quotes are detailed and transparent. They include the size and type of mirror, number of cutouts, edge finish, backing, installation fees, and estimated timelines. If needed, we’ll come on-site to take measurements before finalizing your quote.

Can I buy just the mirror without installation?

Yes. We can cut your custom mirror for pickup or delivery, even if you’re installing it yourself or working with another contractor. We’ll still make sure it’s cut accurately based on your specs.

How long does installation usually take?

Small residential mirrors typically take less than an hour. Larger projects like mirror walls or multi-panel installations may take two to four hours. We’ll give you a clear time estimate when we provide your quote.
