MIRREDGE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MIRREDGE from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in MIRREDGE mirror framing strips and corner plates?
MIRREDGE components are manufactured from acrylic, polymer plastic, and plastic, depending on the specific SKU. Acrylic is used for clear mirror finish and white acrylic options, while polymer plastic is common for wood grain finishes like Royal Oak and Cherry Walnut. These materials are selected for durability and resistance to moisture, making them suitable for bathroom and commercial environments. The choice of material affects the weight and impact resistance of the framing, with acrylic offering a more rigid structure compared to polymer plastic.
Are MIRREDGE mirror installation kits compatible with standard mirror thicknesses?
MIRREDGE installation kits, such as MPN 74111 and 14111, are designed with a 1 1/2-inch overall height and 1/8-inch overall depth, which accommodates standard mirror thicknesses commonly used in commercial and residential applications. The kits include strips and corner plates that create a frame around the mirror edge, with the depth dimension indicating the channel size for the mirror. For mirrors thicker than 1/8 inch, alternative components with greater depth may be required, so it is advisable to verify the mirror thickness against the product specifications before ordering.
Can MIRREDGE strips be cut to custom lengths for non-standard mirror sizes?
MIRREDGE strips are supplied in fixed lengths, such as 36 inches or 59 1/2 inches, and are not designed to be field-cut without affecting the finish or structural integrity. The polymer plastic and acrylic materials can be cut with appropriate tools, but doing so may expose raw edges that require additional finishing to match the original appearance. For non-standard mirror sizes, it is recommended to select strips that closely match the mirror dimensions or use multiple strips with seam plates to cover longer spans, as the product line includes seam plates specifically for joining sections.
What is the difference between MIRREDGE corner plates and seam plates?
MIRREDGE corner plates are used to cover the 90-degree corners of a mirror frame, providing a finished look at the intersection of two strips. They are typically sold in 4-packs and have a square shape with dimensions like 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches. Seam plates, such as the Contemporary Seam Plates (MPN 63512), are designed to cover the joint between two strips when they are butted together to extend the frame length. Seam plates are narrower and intended for linear connections, while corner plates are for angular junctions. Both are available in matching finishes to maintain visual continuity.
Are MIRREDGE products suitable for use in high-humidity environments like swimming pools or steam rooms?
MIRREDGE components are made from acrylic and polymer plastic, which offer some resistance to moisture, but the brand does not specify an IP rating or explicit certification for wet or high-humidity environments. The white acrylic and wood grain finishes may be susceptible to discoloration or delamination if exposed to prolonged moisture or chemicals. For applications in swimming pools, steam rooms, or outdoor areas, it is advisable to consult the datasheets for material compatibility or consider alternative products with documented water resistance. In typical indoor settings like bathrooms, the products perform adequately when installed with proper sealing at joints.
How many MIRREDGE SKUs does 3G Electric stock, and what is the typical lead time for global orders?
3G Electric carries over 40 MIRREDGE SKUs, including strips, corner plates, seam plates, and installation kits in various finishes and dimensions. Lead times for global orders depend on stock availability and shipping destination, but standard logistics support ensures that orders are processed within 1-2 business days. For urgent requirements, expedited shipping options may be available. It is recommended to check stock levels on the product page or contact 3G Electric for specific lead time estimates based on the SKU and quantity needed.
