Proper installation is the key to getting the best results from your mirrors and glass work. At Imperial Glazing, we have years of experience installing all types of indoor mirrors and glass surfaces across homes and businesses in the UAE. Whether it is a large wall mirror, a glass shelf, or an intricate glass panel, every installation must be done with precision to ensure safety and a flawless finish.
One of the most important tips for mirror installation is to ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and level before fitting. We use high-strength adhesive mirror fixings as well as mechanical fixings for heavier mirrors, ensuring they are safe and secure. For glass panels and shelves, we use toughened safety glass to prevent breakage and always check the wall structure to ensure it can support the weight.
At Imperial Glazing, we do not just deliver the glass — we handle the complete installation with care and professionalism. Our team uses specialist tools and techniques to ensure every edge is polished, every mirror is perfectly level, and every glass panel is safely secured. Contact us today to book your professional mirror and glass installation in Dubai and across the UAE.
“A perfectly installed mirror or glass panel is a work of precision — every millimetre matters, every edge must be flawless, and every fixing must be secure.”
Always Prepare the Wall Surface First
Before installing any mirror or glass, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, flat, and free of dust or grease. Any unevenness in the wall can cause the mirror to sit at an angle or the adhesive to fail over time.
Use the Right Fixings for the Mirror Weight
Light mirrors can be hung with adhesive strips or a D-ring hook system. For heavier mirrors, we recommend using wall plugs and screws drilled into wall studs. Always check the wall type — hollow, concrete, or tile — before selecting the fixing method.
Use a Spirit Level for Perfect Alignment
A crooked mirror is immediately noticeable and can ruin the look of an entire room. Always use a spirit level when marking the wall and during installation to ensure the mirror is perfectly straight.
Always Use Toughened Safety Glass
For all glass panels, shelves, and partitions, always insist on toughened (tempered) safety glass. If accidentally broken, toughened glass shatters into small, blunt fragments rather than dangerous shards.
Polish Edges Before Installation
All cut glass edges should be smoothly polished before installation. Rough or sharp edges are a safety hazard and also look unfinished. At Imperial Glazing, all our glass comes with professionally polished edges as standard.
Allow Glass to Acclimatise Before Fitting
In the UAE’s hot climate, glass can expand slightly due to temperature. Allow glass panels to sit in the room for a short period before installation so they acclimatise, ensuring the best possible fit and seal.
