Arched Window Full Length Mirror 200 x 120cm

On a 120cm frame the semicircle has a 60cm radius, so the curve begins 60cm below the top edge and the bars above that point fan to follow it; below, the grid is the plain, large-paned pattern of a factory window. Hung with the bottom edge 20cm off the floor, a 200cm mirror has its top at 220cm and this one's curve starts at 160cm, which is below the top of a tall person's head, so the geometry is worth saying: your head reflects in the centre of the glass, where at 180cm up the arch is still 113cm wide, and the two corners you lose sit well to either side of anyone standing in front of it. What you get is a window with a curved head the size of a chapel door, which on a landing wall reads as a window into the roof, in a stairwell as the thing the staircase was built around, and in a bedroom over 4m long as the piece on the wall of its own. The finer-grid version is the Arched Lattice Window 200 x 120cm at the same price; the straight-topped plain grid is the Window Pane 200 x 120cm.

Nobody buys a 200 x 120 mirror for height; a 180cm mirror already shows anyone to about 205cm. The two metres are for the wall, and if the wall has coving, a picture rail or a fitting below 2.2m, the Arched Window 180 x 105cm at £369.95 is the one.

Float glass weighs 2.5kg per square metre per millimetre, so the sheet in a 200cm mirror this wide is 24kg and the welded frame, the fanned bars and the backing are the other 14kg. Hung with the bottom edge 20cm up the top of the glass is at 220cm, so the wall needs 2.2m clear of coving, rails and fittings; leant at seven degrees the top sits at about 218cm and the base 24cm out. The carton, a little over 200 x 120cm on its long edge, has to clear the front door, any right angle and the half landing; the guide to moving a large mirror has the figures and the carry.

Three things. A batten, on any wall: timber screwed across two studs or into brick, levelled twice, with the mirror's two fitted hanging points dropping onto it; brick or block otherwise takes two nylon plugs and screws rated above 38kg, dot-and-dab wants the batten on long frame fixings through to the masonry, and cavity anchors are never an option. The hardware, not the arch: the hanging points sit 60cm or more below the top of the curve, so measure from the hardware to the floor or the mirror lands far higher than planned. And the bars: a two-metre grid shows half a degree of lean from the next room, so hang with two people lifting from the outer frame and never the bars, a third guiding, and check the lowest straight bar before tightening. The hanging guide covers each wall and the full length wall mirror page the weight tables.

Leaning is for a bedroom or dressing room with the height to spare: felt pads under the base, about 24cm out, and an anti-tip strap or screw eye and cable at the top fitted before anyone leaves the room, because 38kg on a 20mm frame goes rather than wobbles if knocked. Never a hall. The securing guide covers the strap.

A black arched window mirror two metres tall is the chapel window in a dark frame: crisp on white, pale grey and sage, the finish that reads as architecture and hides fingerprints, the one that vanishes on navy. A gold arched window mirror in satin champagne-brass is a gilded arch before anything is reflected in it, warming navy, sage and cream and drifting to warm silver on pure white, and at this size it wants a plain wall and a room with the scale to carry it. Same welded steel, same powder coat, same £399.95; the two-tone black frame with gold bars is made at 180 x 105cm only. The black full length mirror and gold full length mirror pages make each case; the window mirror page has all 14 window designs and sizes, and the arch mirror page the plain-glass arches.

Same arch, finer grid: the Arched Lattice Window 200 x 120cm at 38.5kg and the same £399.95, for plain paint. Same plain grid, straight top: the Window Pane 200 x 120cm at 38.5kg, for an entrance hall. No bars under a 60cm semicircle: the Arched 200 x 120cm at 33.2kg. Below two metres the Arched Window comes at 180 x 105cm with the two-tone option and at 180 x 90cm for a 90cm wall. The large mirror page covers every 180 and 200cm mirror with clearances.
