Product Specification
Our range of toughened antique mirror effect splashbacks are manufactured from 5mm toughened glass and made to order. As you can see below, they look beautiful and can be safely used behind all hob types, including gas without risk of breaking due to heat (mirrors made from glass that has not been toughened will break behind a gas hob)

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 3-4 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). Lead times can vary throughout the year so if you would like to know our current lead times prior to ordering please just give us a call.
