At Sydney Home Centre, we offer a premium selection of Pencil Edge Mirrors from leading brands like Otti, Poseidon, and Fienza.

Whether you're updating a bathroom, dressing room, or hallway, this guide will help you choose the perfect mirror for your space.

What is a Pencil Edge Mirror?

A Pencil Edge Mirror is a mirror with smooth, rounded edges, created through a polishing process that eliminates sharp corners. The name comes from its slightly curved profile, which resembles the rounded shape of a pencil. 

This process makes the mirror safer, smoother, and visually appealing while maintaining a sleek and modern look.

Key Features of Pencil Edge Mirrors

✔ Sleek & Elegant – The rounded edges create a refined, seamless appearance.
✔ Safe & Durable – No sharp edges, reducing the risk of chipping or injury.
✔ Minimalist & Versatile – Works well in modern, contemporary, and classic interiors.
✔ Light Reflection – Enhances natural and artificial light, making spaces appear larger and brighter.

How to Choose the Right Pencil Edge Mirror

When choosing a mirror for your bathroom, it's important to consider your space.

Large mirrors can create a sense of openness and make a room feel more spacious, while smaller mirrors are better suited for compact areas.

The shape of the mirror also plays a key role in the overall look of the space. Rectangular and square mirrors are ideal for modern bathrooms and vanities, while arched and oval mirrors offer a softer, more decorative aesthetic.

Additionally, lighting needs should be factored in; LED mirrors provide practical illumination, making them perfect for grooming and makeup application.

Finally, think about how the mirror will match your décor - framed mirrors make a bold statement, while frameless options offer a seamless, floating effect that complements a minimalist design.

How to Attach a Pencil Edge Mirror

Pencil edge mirrors can be installed using mirror clips, adhesive, or brackets, depending on the wall type and mirror size.

Using Mirror Clips (Recommended for Small to Medium Mirrors)

• Measure and mark where the clips will go.
• Secure the bottom clips first using screws.
• Place the mirror into the bottom clips, then attach the top clips to secure it in place.

Using Adhesive (Best for Frameless Mirrors)

• Apply a high-quality mirror adhesive to the back of the mirror in even spots.
• Press the mirror firmly against the wall and hold for a few minutes.
• Allow 24-48 hours for the adhesive to set fully.

Using Brackets (For Large or Heavy Mirrors)

• Install wall-mounted brackets at the desired height.
• Carefully slide the mirror into the brackets.

Important Tip: Always use a level to ensure the mirror is perfectly straight and secure the installation to a wall stud or solid surface for added stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between a Pencil Edge Mirror and a Beveled Edge Mirror?

A pencil edge mirror has a rounded, smooth edge, while a beveled edge mirror features an angled, decorative edge that tapers towards the sides.

Beveled mirrors have a more traditional, ornate look, whereas pencil edge mirrors offer a sleek, modern aesthetic.

2. How do I clean a Pencil Edge Mirror?

• Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel to prevent scratches.
• Apply a mild glass cleaner or a mix of water and vinegar.
• Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the mirror—spray it on the cloth first.

3. Can Pencil Edge Mirrors be used in bathrooms?

Yes! Pencil edge mirrors are ideal for bathrooms because they are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and blend seamlessly with different styles.

4. Can I install a Pencil Edge Mirror without drilling?

Yes, you can use strong mirror adhesive or mounting tape for frameless mirrors, as long as the wall surface is smooth and clean. However, for larger mirrors, drilling or brackets are recommended for better support.
