Washington Heights
A mirror can fit the wall perfectly and still look wrong. Maybe the beveled edge fights with the flat cabinet fronts. Maybe the mounting clips are the only shiny metal in a bathroom full of brushed finishes. Better to catch that before installation.
At Glass Factory, for custom glass washington heights projects, we ask about the room around the glass, not just the dimensions. Send fixture photos or a finish schedule.
On-site measurement, custom fabrication and coordinated installation
The mirror over a vanity sits beside sconces, outlets, and cabinet edges. We size custom mirrors around them.
Edge treatment changes the effect. A flat-polished edge keeps things simple; a bevel catches more light and adds a decorative border. Neither is automatically better. With an oversized mirror, we’ll also discuss thickness, mounting, and how the panel reaches the room.
Fixed panels, hinged doors and sliding enclosures cut to the actual opening.

Renovated prewar bathrooms often leave an opening that is not square, with a curb or tub that slopes toward the drain.
Fixed panel, hinged door, sliding enclosure or a neo-angle layout, in clear, low-iron or frosted tempered glass.
We laser-measure after tile is finished, so every panel is cut to the real walls and curb.
An enclosure that fits the room, hardware in the finish you chose and a 2-year project warranty.
Three situations we see often on the Washington Heights, each with a different size, edge and mounting.
A floor-to-ceiling mirror doubles the sense of depth in a long entry hall and bounces light from the living room.
Small bathrooms need mirrors cut around medicine cabinets, sconces and tile lines, not a stock size.
Large panels joined with tight seams, mounted for safety in a spare room or a townhouse basement.
Board rules, alteration agreements and set work hours planned before the install date.
Service elevator booking and COI for the managing agent, sent ahead of delivery.
Stair railings, garden-level doors and glass walls across several floors.
Older walls and floors that need on-site measurement and custom fitting.
We walk you through each choice at the consultation and bring samples so you can compare in your own light.

How to clean the glass and look after the hardware.
We work the same way in Lenox Hill, Yorkville and Carnegie Hill. The full list of areas we cover is on the Manhattan page.
A coordinated interior might also need:
For glass shelves in Washington Heights, bracket placement matters as much as depth. We check the wall and intended load before deciding on supports.
Bring a picture of the faucet, cabinet pull, or nearby metal trim. Finish names can be deceptive: two products called “brushed nickel” may look different side by side.
We can discuss clear or tinted glass, mirror finishes, and appropriate hardware. Ask to compare samples where available. A polished edge may suit a minimal vanity; a bevel might make sense beside traditional detailing. The final choice should follow the room.
Our portfolio includes mirrors, shelves, and shower glass. Use the examples to identify a detail you like, then tell us what’s different about your space. A photographed installation isn’t a ready-made specification for another wall.
We check dimensions after relevant finishes are in place, along with wall condition, mounting locations, and cutouts. An outlet slightly off the drawing can change an entire mirror order.
Building access is worth mentioning early, too. If your project requires an elevator booking, delivery window, or insurance paperwork, include that information before scheduling.
Send photos, approximate sizes, and your preferred finish. We’ll identify what needs confirming before fabrication. For custom glass installation in Washington Heights, a picture of neighboring fixtures helps us avoid mismatched hardware.
Project inquiry checklist
| You provide | We verify |
| Photos, rough dimensions, and drawings | Final measurements and cutouts |
| Mirror edge and hardware preferences | Finish compatibility and mounting |
| Existing fixtures and access rules | Wall conditions and delivery route |
Request an estimate and attach what you have. Unfinished selections are fine; just mark them as open.
Flat-polished and beveled edges are common options. Ask about their appearance, price difference, and fit with surrounding details.
Panel dimensions, glass or mirror type, edge work, cutouts, hardware, and installation conditions all influence cost.
Show the full wall or opening and nearby fixtures. Include approximate width, height, and any outlets or lights that may need cutouts.
Once specifications and site measurements are confirmed, we coordinate fabrication, building access, and an installation date.
Tell us about the room and what you have in mind. Send photos, rough dimensions or plans and we will come back with options and a free estimate.
