Our range of toughened antique mirror effect splashbasks are manufactured from 6mm toughened glass and made to order.
Colours and styles
While a little difficult to tell online, our antique mirror splashbacks are available in two different styles and a number of colours. The main difference between the two styles and the different colours available are detailed below.
Antique or Mottled?
While both styles of antique mirror, our antique mirror splashbacks are patches of colour randomly but fairly evenly distributed across the splashback. The mottled antique mirror range is a much more consistent effect which is closer to normal antique mirror. Each design is available in different colours the main colour differences are below.
Antique Effect Colours
Silver - antique silver mirrors have a grey that is darker than the silver mirror
White - antique white mirrors are still silver mirrors, but the pattern colour is much lighter than silver (above)
Gold - antique gold mirrors are still silber mirrors, but the pattern colour is a very light gold.
Iron and Rusted Iron - antique iron mirrors are steill silver mirrors, but the pattern colour is a copper/rust colour

Antique Mirror Splashbacks
The most in demand splashback design at present are antique mirror splashbacks but up until now is has not been possible to toughen/temper antique mirror. By using pioneering techniques we are now able to offer antique mirror splashbacks, made from toughened glass, made to any size or shape.
Authentic Antique Mirror is caused over time by oxidation of the mercury backing used to make a mirror reflective. Modern antique mirrors though are reproductions, the aging process has been sped up using chemicals to replicate the oxidation cause to a mirror over time. Tempered Antique Mirrors are also reproductions where we have used techinques to replicate the oxidation on a mirror splashback. Unlike authentic antique mirrors though, which will of course have gathered surface damage over time, our antique mirror splashbacks for kitchens and bathrooms will have defect free surfaces and modern beveled edges.
Order times and delivery
All Antique Mirror splashbacks are made to order (usually take 3-4 weeks to manufacture).
Any shaped splashbacks, splashbacks with holes and made to order/bespoke sizes typically take 2-4 weeks as long as they pass quality control. Shaped panels take the longest duration as the manufacturing process is more complex and made using a CNC. In stock sizes (without holes, rectangular or square shaped).
