5 TOP TIPS IN BUYING QUALITY MIRROR

5 TOP TIPS IN BUYING QUALITY MIRROR

Tip #1 – Buy high quality mirrors. Check these three factors when looking for a high quality mirror: glass quality, mirror thickness, and mirror silvering. In glass quality, see if the glass used in the mirror has no inconsistencies in its makeup and does not distort a reflection. The glass should have a flat surface. Mirrors for the home are available in 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 thickness. It is recommended to have a mirror with 1/4 thickness since it will not misshapen a reflection, even if the wall where it is positioned is not flat. Mirror silvering is the coating, usually silver nitrate and other chemical compounds, in one side of the glass. Quality mirrors have a high quality, thick coating of silvering Antique Mirrors, Art Glass

Tip #2 – Get accurate measurements. Before you go to the home decor store or to your local mirror retailer, make sure you have with you the correct measurements of the mirror. Go to the space where you will place the mirror and get the measurements. Measure twice to ensure you have the right dimensions. It prevents you the hassle of returning a mirror which doesn’t fit the space Art Glass

Tip #3 – Allocate a budget. There are expensive mirrors and there are cheap ones. Think about how much money you could spend on a mirror. Remember that you get what you paid for. It’s better to save enough to buy a high quality mirror than get an inexpensive one which distorts a reflection, and easily breaks. You wouldn’t want to replace your mirror regularly because of poor quality Decorative Glass

Tip #4 – Don’t be in a hurry when shopping. Take your time browsing through the numerous mirrors on display at the store. You are purchasing an essential item for your home or office and it’s good to spend some time in shopping. Do not rush to get any mirror in the store and then realize you have the wrong mirror when you come home  Etched Glass

Tip #5 – For a custom made mirror, hire a reliable mirror company. There are many mirror manufacturers out there and you have to do your research on which of them can be trusted with your customized dream mirror. You can ask suggestions from family, friends, or colleagues Mirror For the Room

Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding Glass Doors

A sliding glass door’s large expanse of glass transmits a lot heat out of the home in the winter and into the home in summer. This heat flow takes three forms: heat conducts directly through the glass in winter, solar heat transmits through the glass in summer, and air that leaks around the edges of the door Etched Glass

Heat travels rapidly through glass when there is a large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. In winter, the cold glass surface pulls heat directly out of objects in the room, including your body if you are nearby. Cold glass also creates drafts by cooling nearby indoor air that then circulates around your home Decorative Glass

Insulating quilted shades, though fairly expensive, can greatly improve winter comfort and energy efficiency. The best of these products have vertical tracks that seal the edges of the shade. Another option is to fasten an insulating shade fabric to the frame or glass with velcro. The shade fabric with either of these options is available in either light-transmitting or opaque (room-darkening).

For blocking glare and solar heat, exterior solutions are best. These include exterior reflective rolling shades and exterior solar screens. Interior shades and curtains are less effective because the solar heat has entered the home already Glass and metal finishes

There are storm window packages for sliding glass doors, but this option is expensive and not commonly chosen Glass Backsplash Tiles

A less serious energy problem for sliding glass doors is air leakage, though this is a common cause of comfort complaints. This air leakage happens around the perimeter of the door panel. Older sliding glass doors often have operating problems, too, that are caused by dirt in the tracks and worn rollers that contribute to air leakage by keeping the door from shutting properly. Worn and leaking weatherstrip, and dirty and broken rollers, can be replaced to improve their operation. You can find replacement weatherstrip and rollers at a local glass shop in their window hardware catalogs or on the internet use the search term: “sliding glass door hardware”. However, unless you can do this repair yourself, there is little chance you will find anyone to do it for you.

If you choose to replace your older sliding glass door, be sure to buy one with advanced insulated glass, improved rollers, and high-quality weatherstripping. A hinged patio-door unit may be an even better option because hinged doors leak a lot less air than sliding doors. You would have to have room for the door to swing inwardly if you wanted to employ this lower-cost hinged-door option.

The type of insulating glass is a particularly important choice for these large doors because there are two varieties of insulating glass, one for cooler climates and one for hotter climates Glass Bathroom Shelves

The Effect of Poorly Insulated Glass in Your Windows

The Effect of Poorly Insulated Glass in Your Windows

The Department of Energy estimates that over 20% of the heat loss or gain in your home may be due to radiation which comes through poorly or non-insulated glass. It is not uncommon for apparently well-built homes to have windows that measure a high (U) Factor (which is undesirable). To reinforce this point, here is a direct quote from a Department of Energy publication:

"Windows can be one of your home's most attractive features. Windows provide views, day lighting, ventilation and solar heating in the winter. Unfortunately, they can also account for 10% to 25% of your heating bill. During the summer, sunny windows make your air conditioner work two to three times harder. If you live in the Sun Belt, look into new solar control spectrally selective windows, which can cut the cooling load by more than half." (Energy Savers: Tips on Saving Energy and Money at the Home)

The Department of Energy publications are replete with advice on how to reduce the cost of energy in your home, a major factor of which relates to inefficient windows. If you check your windows now and find the glass is single pane, you probably would have been wise to replace them sometime ago.

Etched Glass Doors For Interior Beauty

Etched Glass Doors For Interior Beauty

Are you looking for wonderful glass doors for your home or office? In the past, it's always been sturdy, heavy wooden doors that have gotten all the attention; the heavier and more elaborate the wood, the fancier your house was considered to be.

But that has changed as the modern day has dawned, and simplicity and elegance were valued over old-fashioned fanciness. Now, glass doors are more popular than ever, because of their contemporary sophistication and their ability to allow light in everywhere to give a much more open, warmer feel to the atmosphere of a room, house, store, or office.

One type of glass door in particular is the etched glass door, and these etched glass doors are essentially designs created by frosting glass. Frosted glass results in a translucent glass window, which is nice because it allows more privacy without blocking the light.

Translucent frosted glass can be used for showers and office doors-or, if you want to be a bit fancier, you can put designs on the frosted glass and make it into a glass etching, which is truly beautiful and complex.

Glass etchings are usually created by sandblasting glass in several different stages in order to create different depths of translucency if you want a more three dimensional picture (it's somewhat like shading in a drawing, and the results are very beautiful).

Popularly, etched glass is usually made up of a semi-translucent picture with a clear background. This gives the glass a nice, elegant look while still maintaining transparency and allowing plenty of light through.

Getting Contemporary With Round Bathroom Mirrors

Homes with modern design elements tend to stray away from the traditional straight lines of countertops, tables, rugs, and frames.

How to Select the Perfect Wall Mirror For the Room

How to Select the Perfect Wall Mirror For the Room

I've been asked many times over the years, how do I go about choosing a wall mirror that will fit in well with a particular room of my home? My answer to that is you have to know what room the wall mirror will be hung in and what style of mirror will match up with the theme of the room.

Let me start with a question. Which room in your home will this wall mirror hang in? Since we are only talking about wall mounted mirrors, your first thought should be the style. For the most part the different styles of wall mirrors are Traditional, Ornate, Modern, Frameless, Venetian and Kids.

Next you should think about what shape you would like this wall hanging mirror. Here your choices are rectangle, square, round, oval, arched, abstract, sunburst, octagon and custom.

What I call custom, is a wall mirror that is shaped in a non-uniform manner. An example of a custom wall mirror is a framed sectional mirror. There is a vanity mirror with a carved wood frame that actually holds 3 separate mirrors. There are 2 arched mirrors on each side, with a rectangle mirror in the center of the frame. Let me tell you this piece of wall mirror woodwork is absolutely gorgeous! Another simpler example of a custom wall mirror would be a triangular shaped mirror.

The next question you should ask yourself is do you want beveled glass or flat edge glass for your wall mirror. Here your choice is a matter of your own taste. Some people think that beveled glass mirrors are more elegant, while others prefer the clean look of flat edged glass wall mirrors. All you have to do is shop and compare until you have made your decision.

Designing a Swimming Pool with Glass Mosaic Tile

Designing a Swimming Pool with Glass Mosaic Tile

Colored cementacious finish coatings that are pretty typical today. After some years they start to wear and fade. With solid colored glass tile you will never have to have your pool walls recoated again. This can save quite a bit of money in the long run.

Glass tile is forever, it will never change its look or loose it's vibrant color due to the wear of chlorine and sun. Maintenance is a snap as the glass tile is non-pourus and cannot be penetrated by staining from unwanted objects that can wind up in the pool such as leaves.

There are so many colors, sizes and styles available it is sometimes difficult to choose. Some have a reflective quality. They are manufactured using a mirror backing with a transparent colored glass overlay. While some glass mosaics are opaque and others semitransparent. They all have unique qualities that work for many different looks and effects.

There are even photo luminescent tiles that absorb ambient light during the day and then at night they give off that stored up light. Glass mosaics are fantastic for your waterline as opposed to the everyday tiles offered from most pool companies. Some pool tile suppliers have special software that allows you to design your own blend or design of pool tile mosaics.

One feature that colorful mosaics are great for in modern swimming pool design is the vanishing edge. This is usually one side of the pool that has no coping; instead the top of the swimming pool wall is flat and lower than the surrounding coping. The water flows over the top of the wall and down into a reservoir and is recirculated back into the pool, it looks as though the water just vanishes over the edge.

Add Elegance With An Oval Bathroom Mirror

Add Elegance With An Oval Bathroom Mirror

A wall mirror in the bathroom is a functional item but it can also be decorative. With its rounded edges and unique shape, an oval bathroom mirror adds elegance to the room. It is much more attractive than the traditional rectangular or square mirrors placed on the wall to aid in shaving, makeup application, and hair styling.

Custom mirrors in an oval shape make even more of a statement because their handcrafting means no two are exactly alike. Considered decorative wall mirrors, they include designer accents like metal sculptures of colorful flowers. With some, the sculpture is independent of the mirror so each piece can be hung in different configurations. This provides more design options than the traditional bathroom mirror.

To display the custom made mirror, hang the mirror first and then hang the sculpture wherever it is desired. It can run along the top of the mirror or even down the side. Though it looks great in the bathroom, this mirror will also look nice in other rooms such as the bedroom or even in a hallway or entryway. Any area that can benefit from soft curves and gorgeous colors will be perfect for this item.

An oval bathroom mirror that is custom designed makes any home stand out from others in the neighborhood. Observers automatically equate oval curves with relaxation and they immediately feel at ease. Since the bathtub and shower are places of relaxation, the bathroom is the perfect spot for one of these beautiful mirrors. People spend their early morning and late night hours in this room so it is comforting to have such an elegant piece on the wall.

Round Glass Coffee Tables, A Classic Updated

Round Glass Coffee Tables, A Classic Updated

In the 1950s, coffee tables were extremely chic and every house had at least one, if not several. Few living rooms were without these tables, and often, if there was a family room or playroom, the sofa grouping there would have one too.

While traditional wood tables have always been popular, round glass coffee tables really came into their own during this period, as modern and contemporary furnishings came back into fashion.

Today, round glass coffee tables remain popular, largely because they allow a room to remain open looking while still being a statement piece. That's because coffee tables with glass tops or even tops and sides can break the mold in terms of defining what a coffee table should be.

For instance, you can purchase lovely tables that allow you to showcase your interests. Some can be as simple as a wood or glass cube underneath with a spacious glass top above. If the cube is glass, you can usually add a valuable collectible or sculpture inside, letting people enjoy both the table and a work of art at the same time. Many people will fill the bottom with sand and seashells or even create a terrarium under glass.

But that's really just a beginning. Because the glass top can really be placed over anything that can serve as a pedestal, you can purchase round glass coffee tables that feature large sculptures as the base. If you love the sea and beach, you can get tables with a large dolphin or whale as the base. Or you can even get ones with striking pieces of driftwood found on a beach or a sculpture of a coral reef, complete with tropical fish darting in and out of it.

That is one of the beautiful things about these tables. The glass allows whatever is underneath and around the table to be seen and enjoyed.
