Home Gym & Studio Mirrors

Mirrors for a home gym or studio

A mirror in a gym is a coaching tool before it is a decoration – it is how you check that your back is straight, your knees are tracking and both sides are doing the same thing. In a home gym it does a second job as well: a converted garage or box room stops feeling like a store cupboard once one wall reflects.

How high and how wide

Set the bottom edge 30 to 40 cm above the floor – high enough to clear skirting, plugs and equipment, low enough to show your feet in a squat. Take the top edge to 190 to 200 cm, which covers a tall person with arms raised. For width, cover the area you actually train in rather than the whole wall; two metres is enough for one person and three to four for a pair of stations.

Panels rather than one sheet

We make mirrors up to 200 cm in either direction, and a mirrored wall is built from two or three panels butted together rather than one enormous sheet. That is easier to deliver, easier to fix and far easier to replace if one panel is ever damaged. Keep the joints vertical and evenly spaced, and they read as a deliberate grid rather than a compromise.

Safety and fixing

In a room where weights are dropped, we would treat safety film as essential – it holds the glass together if the mirror is struck, so it fails as one sheet rather than as loose fragments. Fix at several points into something solid: on plasterboard use heavy-duty cavity fixings or screw into the studs, and on masonry use plugs rated for the weight. Do not fix a mirror directly behind a barbell or a rack.

Studios and dance rooms

The same rules scale up for a studio or dance room, with the top edge nearer 200 cm and full coverage of the working wall. We do not supply track or panel systems, only the mirrors themselves, cut to your dimensions. For sizes, use the cut-to-size configurator; for the largest single pieces, see large wall mirrors.
