Here are some of the things you can expect when you book a mirror cutting service through the Airtasker platform:

Mirror Sizing and Measurement

Just as with all building and construction services, the cutting starts with preparing the work area and prepping the necessary tools needed. Also, without a proper plan of approach, you don't just risk getting ill-sized mirror glass, but you could also end up breaking it. Before doing any cutting, your Tasker must take note of the required specifications of your cut-to-size mirror. They will then start marking the areas to cut, to ensure that the measurements are spot-on.

Mirror glass scoring

The mirror glass cutting work consists of two major parts, with the first being mirror glass scoring. The scoring process involves the use of a glass cutter to outline the sections to be cut out on a flat surface. Instead of actually cutting the glass sheet, the glass cutter will create a surface break that will guide the actual separation of the materials in the second portion.

Mirror glass breaking

The second part of the mirror glass cutting job is glass breaking. There are multiple ways to approach this, each having its own merit and dependent on the glass to be separated. The most common method, however, would be to use the weighted ball end of the glass cutter. It will be tapped on the underside of the scored area, causing it to crack and separate in a clean line.

Mirror glass sanding and polishing

For most cut-to-size mirrors, the last part of the process would be to polish the edges. Doing so will ultimately remove the sharp edges and slightly uneven breaks from your mirror. Running it through sandpaper should be enough to round off all the rough sections. For an added layer of protection, a sealant could be added as well.

Mirror glass installation

You can also use Airtasker to get a tradesman to handle the mirror installation process. This way, you can make sure that your bespoke mirror is dealt with safely and correctly. It can be even more crucial in bathroom set-ups, where one wrong move could end with you needing a plumbing repair.
