Glass
Flat glass with a smooth surface: clear, low-iron, tinted and acid-etched, in the thicknesses we stock, tempered or laminated as the application needs.
Clear Glass
Standard clear float glass, the everyday choice for shower doors, shelves, partitions and tabletops.
Clear float glass is the base material of almost everything we make. It is manufactured by floating molten glass on a bed of tin, which gives both faces a flat, polished finish straight from the line. Standard clear glass contains a small amount of iron, and that iron is what gives the glass its faint green cast. In a thin lite you will barely see it; in a 1/2-inch panel, or along a polished edge, the green is visible, and it matters when the glass is sitting against a white surface.
We stock clear glass from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch and process it in-house: cut to size, edges seamed, polished or beveled, holes and notches for hardware, then tempered or laminated as the application requires. Tempered clear glass is four to five times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness and breaks into small blunt pieces, which is why it is the code requirement for shower doors, doors, sidelights and any glass near the floor. Laminated clear glass holds together when broken and is used for overhead glazing, railings and anywhere a panel must stay in the opening after impact.
The economics are simple. Clear glass is the lowest-cost glass we sell, it is available in every thickness, and lead times are short because we process it from stock. For most projects it is the right answer, and the only reason to step up to Starphire is color: if the glass will sit next to white marble, a painted back or a light source, the green edge of clear glass will show. In every other case, clear glass does the job.
Where it is used
- Shower doors and enclosures (3/8" and 1/2" tempered)
- Glass shelves, tabletops and desktops
- Office partitions and interior doors
- Cabinet doors and display cases
- Railings and overhead glazing (laminated)
- Replacement glass for windows and storefronts
Starphire Glass
Low-iron glass with the green tint removed. Edges read white and colors behind the glass stay true.
Starphire is Vitro’s ultra-clear, low-iron float glass. The iron that gives ordinary glass its green cast is removed from the batch, and the result is glass that transmits more light, reads as colorless from the face, and shows a clean white-blue edge where standard glass shows green. Put a piece of Starphire next to a piece of clear glass on a white surface and the difference is immediate.
We process Starphire exactly as we do clear glass: cut to size, polished or beveled edges, holes and notches, tempered or laminated. It is available from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch, and in the 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch thicknesses that shower doors use, it is the glass that most high-end bathrooms are specified with. It is also the glass we use for back-painted panels, where the paint color has to read true, for LED-backlit panels and mirrors, and for display cases and tabletops where the edge is on show.
The cost is higher than clear glass, and on a large job the difference is real. Our advice is to use it where it will be seen: the shower door in a white marble bathroom, the glass railing on a white stair, the kitchen backsplash painted a pale color. On a frosted panel or a panel with a dark film, the advantage is lost and clear glass is the better buy.
Where it is used
- Frameless shower doors next to white or light stone
- Back-painted glass for kitchen backsplashes and feature walls
- LED backlit panels and mirrors
- Glass railings and stair guards
- Display cases, tabletops, shelves with exposed edges
- Low-iron mirror
Bronze Glass
Bronze tinted float glass. Warms the light and cuts glare; pairs with wood, brass and warm stone.
Bronze glass is float glass tinted in the melt, so the color runs through the full thickness and cannot scratch or peel. It reduces the light and heat coming through and gives everything seen through it a warm, amber cast. Against wood, brass, travertine and warm paint colors it reads richer than clear glass, and on a sunny elevation it takes the glare out of a room without the heavy look of gray.
We stock bronze glass in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch and process it in the shop: cut to size, polished or beveled edges, holes and notches for hardware, tempered or laminated as the use requires. It can be made into an insulated unit with a clear or low-E inner pane for windows and storefronts, and it is used as a single pane for partitions, tabletops, shelves and cabinet doors. The tint deepens with thickness: 1/4 inch is a light warm tone, 1/2 inch is noticeably darker, so we show samples of the thickness that will actually be used.
Bronze glass is also the base for bronze mirror and for toned antique mirror. In a shower or a partition it gives privacy by softening the view rather than blocking it, and it hides fingerprints and water spots better than clear glass. See our tinted glass page.
Where it is used
- Windows and storefronts on sunny elevations (as an insulated unit)
- Office and residential partitions
- Tabletops, shelves and cabinet doors
- Shower and tub enclosures for a warm, softened look
- Furniture inserts and display cases
- Base glass for bronze and toned antique mirror
Gray Glass
Gray tinted float glass. Reduces glare and heat with a neutral tone; no color cast on what is seen through it.
Gray glass is float glass tinted neutral gray in the melt. Like bronze it cuts the light and solar heat coming through, but it does so without changing colors: a white wall seen through gray glass is a slightly darker white, not a warm or cool one. That makes it the tinted glass for modern interiors in gray, black and white, and for storefronts and offices where the goods or the screens inside should keep their true color.
We stock gray glass in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch, cut to size with polished or beveled edges, holes and notches, tempered or laminated as needed. It is made into insulated units with a clear or low-E inner pane for windows and storefronts, used as single panes for partitions, tabletops and shelves, and it is the base glass for smoke mirror. As with bronze, the tint deepens with thickness, and we sample the thickness that will be installed.
Gray glass is a practical choice for shower enclosures and partitions where some privacy is wanted without a pattern, and for tabletops and shelves over dark finishes where clear glass would show every mark. See our tinted glass page.
Where it is used
- Storefronts and office windows (as an insulated unit)
- Partitions and doors in gray, black and white interiors
- Shower and tub enclosures for softened privacy
- Tabletops, shelves and desk tops over dark finishes
- Display cases and furniture inserts
- Base glass for smoke (gray) mirror
Acid Etch Glass
Acid-etched satin glass: smooth to the touch, evenly matte, full privacy with soft, even light.
Acid etch glass, also called satin or acid-etched glass, is clear or low-iron float glass whose surface has been treated with acid on one face to give it a uniform matte finish. Unlike sandblasting, which leaves a rough surface that holds dirt, the acid-etched face is smooth to the touch and even across the whole sheet. It passes light freely but scatters it, so the glass glows rather than shows what is behind it. From any distance it gives full privacy.
We stock acid etch glass in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch and process it in the shop: cut to size, polished edges, holes and notches, tempered for doors, showers and partitions, or laminated where safety glass is needed on both faces. The etched face is normally placed away from the wet or handled side so the smooth face is the one that is cleaned; where the etched face must be exposed, a protective coating keeps fingerprints and oils from showing. On a low-iron base the finish is a pure white frost with no green edge, which is what we recommend next to white tile and stone.
Partial etching is also possible: a frosted band at eye height with clear glass above and below, or a clear border around a frosted field, done by masking before etching. Acid etch glass is the standard privacy glass for bathroom windows, shower doors, office fronts and conference rooms. See our acid etch glass page.
Where it is used
- Shower doors and enclosures
- Bathroom windows and interior doors
- Office fronts, conference rooms and partitions
- Cabinet and closet doors
- Back-lit panels, signage and feature walls
- Partial-privacy bands and borders
Decorative Glass
Glass with a textured, non-smooth surface: rolled patterns for privacy with light, in shower enclosures, cabinet doors, partitions and transoms.
Rain Glass
A vertical, water-run texture pressed into one face. Blurs what is behind it while passing full light.
Rain glass is a patterned glass with a vertical, flowing texture rolled into one face during manufacture, so it looks like water running down the pane. The other face is smooth. The pattern distorts what is behind the glass without darkening the room, which is why it is one of the most popular choices for shower enclosures: full light, no view.
We stock rain glass in 5/32, 1/4 and 3/8 inch and temper it for shower doors, interior doors and partitions. On a shower door the textured face goes to the outside and the smooth face to the wet side, so soap and water run off a flat surface that wipes clean. The pattern is directional, and we cut every panel so the texture runs the same way across the enclosure; on a multi-panel shower this is something we lay out at the survey.
Because the pattern is in the glass and not a film or a coating, it does not scratch off, cloud or peel. Hardware mounts through it normally: hinges, clamps and pulls are drilled and notched on the smooth face. Rain glass can also be laminated for a privacy partition that needs to be safety glass on both sides, and it works well in cabinet doors and transoms where a clear pane would show the contents.
Where it is used
- Frameless and framed shower enclosures
- Bathroom and powder room doors
- Office and residential partitions
- Cabinet and pantry doors
- Transoms and sidelights
- Wine room and closet doors
Aqualite Glass
A fine, even ripple on one face, softer than rain glass. Privacy up close, lightly frosted from across the room.
Aqualite is a patterned glass with a fine, even water-ripple texture on one face. Where rain glass has a strong vertical flow, Aqualite is softer and non-directional, so from a few feet away it reads almost like frosted glass while still passing more light and showing more depth than an acid-etched pane. Up close it gives full privacy; across a room it is a gentle, shimmering surface.
We stock Aqualite in 5/32, 1/4 and 3/8 inch and temper it for shower doors and interior doors. As with every textured glass, the pattern faces away from the wet side so the smooth face is the one that gets cleaned. Because the texture has no direction, panels can be cut and laid out freely, which makes it a good choice for enclosures with odd angles or many pieces, and for cabinet doors where a directional pattern would look wrong on small lites.
Aqualite is also a good choice for partitions in offices and medical spaces where privacy is required but the glass should not read as heavy. It can be laminated for double-sided safety glass and combined with a low-iron substrate when the panel will sit against white. Hardware mounts through the smooth face in the normal way.
Where it is used
- Shower doors and tub enclosures
- Powder room and bathroom doors
- Office and clinic partitions
- Cabinet doors and furniture inserts
- Interior doors and sidelights
- Spa and pool area screens
Obscured Glass
Frosted, satin-etched and patterned privacy glass: light comes through, the view does not.
Obscured glass is the general name for any glass that lets light through but breaks up the view: frosted, satin-etched, sandblasted and patterned glass all fall under it. Where rain glass and Aqualite are specific patterns, obscured glass is the category we quote when a client needs privacy and is choosing between textures. The most common finish is satin etch, an acid-etched surface that is smooth to the touch, evenly matte, and hides what is behind it at any distance, with the light coming through soft and even.
We stock obscured glass in 5/32, 1/4 and 3/8 inch and process it like any other glass: cut to size, edges polished, holes and notches for hardware, tempered or laminated. Satin-etched glass is etched on one face; in a shower that face goes to the dry side so the smooth face is the one that gets wiped, and we recommend a protective coating on the etched face because it holds fingerprints and oils more than clear glass. Where the panel is in a door or a partition, the etched face can go either way. Obscured glass can also be made as an insulated unit for bathroom windows and street-facing ground-floor windows, with the etched lite on the inside so the surface stays clean.
Because the finish is in the glass and not a film, it does not peel or yellow, and it can be combined with a low-iron substrate when a pure white frost is wanted next to white tile. Partial obscuring is also possible: a frosted band at eye height with clear glass above and below, or a clear border around a frosted field, done by masking before etching or sandblasting.
Where it is used
- Bathroom windows and shower enclosures
- Front doors, sidelights and transoms
- Office and conference room partitions
- Interior doors and closet doors
- Cabinet doors and furniture inserts
- Ground-floor windows facing the street
Reeded Glass
Narrow vertical ribs that blur the view into soft stripes while passing nearly all the light.
Reeded glass, also called fluted or ribbed glass, is rolled with a series of narrow, parallel half-round ribs running the length of the sheet. The ribs act as small lenses: light passes almost undiminished, but shapes behind the glass stretch into soft vertical stripes, so a person on the other side reads as a silhouette rather than a face. It is the texture most asked for in current interiors, from kitchen cabinet doors and pantry fronts to shower screens, interior partitions and the glass in entry doors and sidelights.
The ribs are usually about 3/8 to 1/2 inch wide, and the direction matters: installed vertically the stripes read as classic reeded glass, installed horizontally the same sheet gives a very different, more horizontal-line look, so we confirm orientation on every order. One face is ribbed and the other is flat; in a shower the flat face goes to the wet side so it is easy to wipe, and in a cabinet door it goes outward where hands touch it. Reeded glass can be cut to size, edge-polished and tempered for doors and showers, and laminated for larger or safety-rated panels. In an insulated unit it is used as the inside lite for bathroom windows and street-facing ground-floor glass.
Because the pattern is in the glass itself, it does not peel, fade or scratch off the way an applied film does, and it can be combined with a low-iron base when it will sit next to white cabinetry or marble and a green tint is not wanted. It pairs well with brass and black hardware, warm wood and painted cabinet frames.
Where it is used
- Kitchen cabinet doors and pantry fronts
- Shower screens and bathroom partitions
- Interior doors, sidelights and transoms
- Office and restaurant partitions
- Wardrobe and closet doors
- Bathroom and ground-floor windows (as an insulated unit)
Mirror
Silvered mirror on clear and tinted glass, cut to size with polished or beveled edges, for walls, vanities, gyms, closets and furniture.
Clear Mirror
Standard silvered mirror on clear glass. The brightest reflection; the default for bathrooms, gyms and walls.
Clear mirror is silvered on clear float glass: a layer of silver on the back of the glass, sealed with copper and protective paint. It is the mirror in almost every bathroom, gym and closet, and it is the one we cut and install most. We stock it in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch, with 1/4 inch as the standard for wall mirrors and anything over about three feet, because the thicker glass stays flat and the reflection does not ripple.
Every mirror we sell is cut to size in our shop with edges seamed, polished or beveled. Beveled edges, usually 1 inch, are the traditional finish for framed and vanity mirrors; a flat polished edge is the modern finish for wall-to-wall and butt-jointed installations. We cut outlets, switch boxes and notches for fixtures, and we drill for sconces and standoffs. For mirrors in gyms, dance studios and anywhere a broken mirror would be a hazard, we apply a safety backing film that holds the pieces together.
Installation is with mirror mastic and mechanical support, with a gap at the bottom so the silver never sits in water. For full walls we butt-joint 1/4-inch panels with polished edges for a continuous surface. Clear mirror also takes the green cast of the glass behind it; where the mirror is large, lit from the side or next to white, we offer low-iron mirror on Starphire for a truer reflection.
Where it is used
- Bathroom vanity and wall mirrors
- Gym and dance studio mirror walls
- Closet and dressing room doors
- Lobby and hallway walls
- Furniture and cabinet inserts
- Retail and salon mirrors
Black Mirror
Mirror on dark tinted glass. A deep, low-reflection surface for feature walls, bar backs and furniture.
Black mirror is silvered on dark gray or black tinted glass. The tint sits between you and the silver, so the reflection is there but subdued: a dark, glossy surface that shows shapes and light without the brightness of a clear mirror. It is a material for atmosphere rather than for checking your appearance, and it has become one of the most requested finishes for feature walls, bar backs, dining rooms and furniture.
We stock black mirror in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch and process it like any mirror: cut to size, polished or beveled edges, cutouts for fixtures, safety backing where required. The dark surface shows fingerprints and dust more than clear mirror, so we recommend it on walls and vertical surfaces rather than tabletops that will be touched constantly, and we always polish rather than seam the edges because an unfinished edge shows as a light line against the dark face.
Black mirror works especially well with concealed lighting. A strip of LED behind a floating black mirror panel gives a halo that reads as a deep, dark frame, and beside brass, bronze or black hardware it ties a room together. It is also a practical answer when a client wants the depth of a mirror wall without a room that feels doubled; the reflection is present but recedes.
Where it is used
- Feature walls in living and dining rooms
- Bar backs and restaurant walls
- Headboard and bedroom panels
- Closet and wardrobe doors
- Furniture fronts and inserts
- Elevator cabs and lobbies
Bronze Mirror
Mirror on bronze tinted glass. Warms the reflection; pairs with wood, brass and warm stone.
Bronze mirror is silvered on bronze tinted glass. The tint gives the reflection a warm, golden cast, lighter than black mirror and softer than clear. Rooms with wood, brass, travertine and warm paint colors read richer in bronze mirror than in a clear mirror, which can look cold next to those finishes, and the warmth is flattering to skin, which is why it is a favorite in dressing rooms, restaurants and hotel bathrooms.
We stock bronze mirror in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch and finish it with polished or beveled edges. Beveled bronze mirror is a classic for framed vanity mirrors and paneled walls; a flat polished edge suits a modern floating panel. Cutouts, holes for sconces and safety backing are all available. The tint shows through at the edge, so a polished edge on bronze mirror reads as a warm amber line, which is part of the look.
In a kitchen, bronze mirror is used as a backsplash where a clear mirror would show every smudge; the tint hides more. In a bar or dining room it is used as an antique-looking surface without the mottling of a true antique mirror. It takes concealed LED lighting well and pairs with both warm white and amber light.
Where it is used
- Powder rooms and vanity walls
- Dining room and restaurant walls
- Kitchen backsplashes
- Dressing rooms and closets
- Hotel bathrooms and corridors
- Furniture and cabinetry inserts
Smoke Mirror (Gray)
Mirror on gray tinted glass. Softens the reflection without a color cast; dining rooms, lobbies, closets.
Smoke mirror, also called gray mirror, is silvered on gray tinted glass. It sits between clear and black mirror: the reflection is softened and slightly darkened, but it stays neutral, with no warm or cool cast. It is the mirror to choose when a room needs the depth of a mirrored wall but a full clear mirror would be too bright or too literal, and when the palette is gray, white, black or cool stone, where bronze would clash.
We stock smoke mirror in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch, cut to size with polished or beveled edges, with cutouts, holes and safety backing as required. On a large wall we butt-joint 1/4-inch panels with polished edges. The gray tint is light enough that smoke mirror still works as a functional mirror in a dressing room or bathroom; it is simply less glaring than clear, and in a bathroom lit from above it reduces the harshness of the reflection.
Smoke mirror is widely used in lobbies, elevator cabs and corridors, where it enlarges the space without the brightness of a clear mirror, and in dining rooms and bedrooms as a headboard or feature panel. It pairs well with black and stainless hardware and with cool LED lighting, and it is a good choice for furniture fronts and closet doors that should read as a surface rather than a mirror.
Where it is used
- Dining room and living room feature walls
- Lobbies, corridors and elevator cabs
- Bedroom and headboard panels
- Closet and wardrobe doors
- Bathrooms with cool palettes
- Furniture fronts and inserts
One-Way Mirror (Two-Way / Surveillance Glass)
Reflective coated glass: a mirror from the bright side, a window from the dark side. For observation rooms and privacy.
One-way mirror, also called two-way mirror or surveillance glass, is clear glass with a thin reflective metallic coating that reflects part of the light and transmits the rest. It works on a difference in lighting: from the brightly lit side the reflection dominates and the glass reads as a mirror; from the darker side the transmitted light dominates and the glass reads as a tinted window. If the lighting is equal on both sides, both sides see a dim view and a faint reflection, so the lighting plan is part of the design.
We supply one-way mirror in 1/4 inch, cut to size with polished edges and installed in a frame or channel; it can be laminated for safety and made into an insulated unit for exterior use. The coated face is protected in the installation, either inside a laminate or facing the observation side, and it is cleaned with care because the coating is on the surface. For a reliable effect the observation side should be kept to roughly a tenth of the light level of the observed side, which is why observation rooms are kept dark and the observed room bright.
Typical uses are observation windows in clinics, schools, security offices and retail, privacy glass between a reception desk and a waiting area, and interior feature walls where a mirror should also pass light to a lit space behind it. Media walls use the same glass to hide a screen behind a mirror until it is switched on. See our mirrors and reflective glass page.
Where it is used
- Observation and surveillance windows
- Security offices and loss-prevention rooms
- Clinic, therapy and classroom observation rooms
- Reception and waiting-area privacy screens
- Mirror TV and hidden-screen media walls
- Interior feature walls with a lit space behind
Painted Glass
Float glass back-painted in a solid color, so the color shows through a smooth, glossy, wipe-clean face. White is in stock as a sample; other colors are matched to a chip or RAL number.
White Painted Glass
Low-iron glass back-painted white: a seamless, glossy white surface for backsplashes, walls and cabinet doors.
Painted glass, also called back-painted glass, is float glass with a layer of paint bonded to the back face, so the color is seen through the glass and the front stays a smooth, glossy, easily cleaned surface. White is the most specified color and the one we keep as a stock sample. On standard clear glass the paint reads slightly green because of the glass itself; on low-iron glass it reads as a true white, which is why we paint white on a low-iron base unless the client asks otherwise.
We supply white painted glass in 1/4 and 3/8 inch, cut to size with polished edges, holes and cut-outs for outlets, switches and fixtures, and tempered where it will be used behind a cooktop or in a door. The paint is applied after cutting and tempering, so every panel is finished to its final size with the paint running to the edge. Panels for one wall are painted in the same batch so the white matches. Installation is with a neutral-cure adhesive on a flat substrate, with a small reveal at the edges, and the painted face is never exposed to water or abrasion.
White painted glass is the usual choice for a seamless kitchen backsplash, where it replaces tile and grout with one wipe-clean panel, and for wall cladding in bathrooms, elevator cabs and lobbies, cabinet and wardrobe doors, whiteboard walls in offices, and tabletops and desk tops. Other colors are matched to a paint chip or RAL number on request.
Where it is used
- Kitchen backsplashes behind cooktops and sinks
- Wall cladding in bathrooms, lobbies and elevator cabs
- Cabinet, wardrobe and closet doors
- Whiteboard and writable walls in offices
- Tabletops, desk tops and furniture
- Shower walls as an alternative to tile
Antique Mirror
Mirror with the silver deliberately aged for a mottled, hand-finished look. Ten house designs, each cut to size for wall panels, backsplashes and furniture.
Antique Mirror — Design 1A
Heavy, warm aging: bronze and rust-colored mottling over a soft reflection. The boldest of the ten.
Antique mirror is mirror whose silver has been deliberately aged so that the reflection is broken by mottling, spotting and soft dark areas, the way a mirror from an old house looks after a century. Design 1A is the heaviest and warmest of our designs: large, irregular clouds of bronze, rust and amber spread across the face, with pockets of darker spotting inside them and islands of softened reflection between. The overall tone is warm and the reflection is secondary; a wall of Design 1A reads as an aged metal surface first and a mirror second. It pairs with brass, bronze and warm stone and with dark cabinetry.
We supply antique mirror in 1/4 inch, cut to size with polished or beveled edges, and we can cut outlets, notches and holes for hardware. Because the pattern varies across a sheet, we lay out panels from the same sheet or batch for a wall so that the tone is consistent, and on a large wall we show the client the layout before cutting. Antique mirror is installed like any mirror, with mastic and mechanical support, and can be safety-backed where required.
It is used where a plain mirror would be too bright or too new: feature walls in restaurants and bars, backsplashes in kitchens with traditional cabinetry, powder rooms, headboards, furniture fronts and cabinet inserts. It is also a practical finish because fingerprints and small marks disappear into the pattern. See our antique mirror page and the Borough Park antique mirror project.
Where it is used
- Restaurant and bar feature walls
- Kitchen backsplashes with traditional cabinetry
- Powder rooms and vanity walls
- Headboards and bedroom panels
- Furniture fronts and cabinet inserts
- Lobbies and hospitality corridors
Antique Mirror — Design 2A
Light, cool aging: soft gray veining and small spots over a mostly clear reflection. The most subtle of the ten.
Antique mirror is mirror whose silver has been deliberately aged so that the reflection is broken by mottling, spotting and soft dark areas, the way a mirror from an old house looks after a century. Design 2A is the lightest and coolest of our designs: fine gray veining and scattered small spots drift across the face like frost on a window, and most of the panel keeps a usable reflection. The tone is neutral to cool, with no bronze or rust, so it suits white, gray and black interiors where a warm antique would clash. From across a room a Design 2A wall reads as a softened mirror; the aging shows as you approach.

Antique Mirror — Design 3A
Design 3A: hand-aged antique mirror. Photograph and description to follow when the sample arrives.
Antique mirror is mirror whose silver has been deliberately aged so that the reflection is broken by mottling, spotting and soft dark areas, the way a mirror from an old house looks after a century. Each of our four designs is a different pattern of aging, from a light, even haze to heavy, clouded patches, and each is applied by hand, so no two panels are identical. Design 3A will be described here once the sample is photographed: the density of the aging, the tone of the spots and the amount of clear reflection that remains.

Design 6A will be described here once the sample is photographed: the density of the aging, the tone of the spots and the amount of clear reflection that remains.
We supply antique mirror in 1/4 inch, cut to size with polished or beveled edges, and we can cut outlets, notches and holes for hardware. Because the pattern varies across a sheet, we lay out panels from the same sheet or batch for a wall so that the tone is consistent, and on a large wall we show the client the layout before cutting. Antique mirror is installed like any mirror, with mastic and mechanical support, and can be safety-backed where required.
It is used where a plain mirror would be too bright or too new: feature walls in restaurants and bars, backsplashes in kitchens with traditional cabinetry, powder rooms, headboards, furniture fronts and cabinet inserts. It is also a practical finish because fingerprints and small marks disappear into the pattern. See our antique mirror page and the Borough Park antique mirror project.
