Black High Gloss Laquer is King

These chalenging times are putting into sharp focus what people will and won’t pay for.  We are finding quality is winning over price almost every time.  Our top sellers list admittedly isn’t bulging with huge units being sold,  but, the trend is for the high value ranges. Take our Black high gloss laquer, it isn’t a cheap finish to produce, but it looks sooo good!   Our job is to make things that people love!  No-one needs more “stuff” no matter how cheap.

Aren’t sons supposed to write off their fathers cars??

Remember the pictures of the shiny show vans?  well,  I let my father out in one last week, (Peter, founder of the business, and van sales godfather) and he kindly put it between a truck and an Audi with about 3ft less gap then needed.    Joking aside, Peters fine (Driving ego aside) and for the record it wasn’t his fault (he says).  So look out for the brand new van, coming to a store near you. Don’t worry it’s got reversing indicators.

Yes thats the engine on the floor.

What stock sizes do our Mirrors come in?

Can we have mirrors made to measure?

Yes!  If you want a bevelled mirror, we have a good range of stock sizes, please see follow this link:-  Can we have mirrors made to match

If you want an exact size, we can do that too.  All the frames are made in house, to order.  The most cost effective way to do it is to have plain mirror, which we can cut to fit,  and safety back if required.

If you want a bevell on the  mirror, that can be done too,   Please contact us for a quote.

Can we have mirrors to match?

Yes!   Everything is made in house,  so we can make a mirror in the same frame to match any picture.

Size wise:  If you want a bevelled mirror, we have them in the following sizes.  (Please note, this is the mirror only size so you will need to add on the frame to get the finished overall size. As a rough guide add between 80 to 150mm for the frame to get the finished overall size.)

Size inch       size MM

18 x 24       457 x 610

20 x 30      508 x 762

24 x 36      610 x 914

30 x 40      762 x 1018

12 x 48     305 x 1220

Can we change the size of the picture?

Sort of.  99% of our images are printed in 1 size.  So the image size is fixed, but we can reduce / increase the mount and frame proportions, and or crop the image to get to your ideal size.   This will work on variations of approx 20cms (thats 8 inch’s pop-pickers)  any more than that and it may spoil the look of the image.  Email or give us a call on 01904 607055 and we can tell you whats possible.

Can the frame be changed?

Yes.  Everything ordered is made to order, so changing the frame,  the mount, is  no problem. Just select the frame you prefer from the gallery.   (The small print: There may be a price difference depending on what you choose, contact us to be sure)

But why stop there? If you like the image, but not our presentation, (we won’t be offended, honest,  sniff)  why not: put it on canvas,   float the image between 2 peices of glass,  raise it up from a mirror, frame it and float it on black glass (Arte Noir), have the image hand textured to look like an original oil,  cut into the image and drop the middle back 20mm, giving a real 3D effect, have a gilt/silver wooden fillet round the edge of the mount, put a triple mount on, etc, etc………………..If you want something really special, talk to us, we have the skills.  T: 01904 607055

Do your pictures come ready strung?

YES!   We don’t buy cars without tyres, so everything we sell is ready to hang.   If you want plates or security fixings, just let us know and we’ll fit them for you.

If you do deal with company’s who sell mirrors or wall Art and don’t provide a cord, they will give you some old line about liability.  It’s tosh. What it means is they can’t even trust themselves to tie a knot.
