With its elaborate edges and sophisticated look, the fluted mirror is much more than a mere mirror. In addition to giving that basic hand when checking the look, the bisotĂȘ mirror, as it is also called, floods the class and style environments, making it the perfect option for those who want to combine decoration with functionality. For those who do not know very well, the beveled mirror is a type of mirror with chamfered finish on the edges, which gives the piece a kind of “frame” of its own. The worked edges, unlike the traditional edges, have a slight inclination and the polish given to the piece still gives an extra shine to the mirror. In this post we’ll talk about it and teach you how to make a delicate Afghan Block Square.
All of these features give the fluted mirror a light, clean, delicate and very elegant appearance, thus giving a unique touch to the decoration in which it is used. Lacking a frame, the beveled mirror becomes more fragile and cracked than a normal mirror. The bevelled mirror is also usually thinner and the edges can only be 3 mm thick. Therefore, all care is little when handling the bisotted mirror. First, have a good look at the mirror as soon as you receive it at home. If you notice any crack return it.
If all is well, arrange a place to leave it until it’s time to put it in the final space. Do not place the beveled mirror directly on the floor, rather leave it on the bed or carpet, so as not to risk scratching or accidentally cracking.
