Registration of mirrors Baguette: Face making features, materials used, mirroring options.
A rich baguette can be used not only for framing painting, but also for designing mirrors, walls and even sheets from children's herbarium. But today we are interested in our own reflection in a beautiful frame.
Face to face
East NEWS-compounded in the frame, the mirror becomes an independent interior object. It must be borne in mind that the mirror canvas is usually thicker and, therefore, heavier glass for the picture. Therefore, the main requirement for the "mirror" baguette and at the same time a wide quarter (rectangular ledge on the edge) from the back side. From the size of your chosen baguette will depend on the impression the composition produces. The wide frame is better reading at a distance, so that the small mirror with its help will become more noticeable, while a large mirror canvas in combination with a thin baguette will look disproportionately. The same baguette width is preferably correlated with the massiveness of key elements of the interior.
Best of all, frames fitted under the color and texture of furniture or finishing materials used in the design of the room fit into the situation. Fashion on baguette follows the trends in interior design, so if you wish, you can find a imitation of a wenge, and a veneer of a mahogany tree, and much more.
If the mirror is assumed to be installed, it is advisable to make fires. It will twist a part of the reflection of the inside of the quarter of the quarter. The width of the Facet, removed around the perimeter of the mirror, is usually equal to the width of a quarter, most often it makes a width of 30-40mm.

Selection of material
The choice of material for the frame depends on the size of the mirroring facility and its location.
The tree is used to frame mirrors in centuries. The wooden frame visually dries the mirror, turning it into the window or the door to the magic linen. The canvas, the size of which is more than 100160cm, is drawn up only by a wooden baguette with a thickness of an attachment device at least 25mm. The phenomenon meter of a wooden baguette costs from 600 to 4000 rubles, depending on the width, the processing method of surfaces (for example, manual gilding), presence of patterns (Lira, Czech Republic).
Plastic for the manufacture of modern baguette is made from foamed polystyrene (Emafyl, United Kingdom). For strength, this material is comparable to a tree, but more flexible, so it is not recommended to frame the large-size mirrors. Under the action of significant weight, plastic baguette can be deformed. Prices on it start from 200 rub. For 1Pog.m.
Aluminum baguette even a small width is well held by weight (Nielsen Bainbridge, Germany). The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum profile of a concise form (variants of silver, chrome, gold) is harmoniously combined with metal fittings in the interiors of High Tech style. Both aluminum and plastic option can be confidently used with the size of the mirror up to 100160cm. Cost 1Pog. M- 160-1000 rub.
Opinion of a specialist
If the pattern of finishing is appreciated in the picture baguette, then baguette for the mirror must be more monumental and at the same time decorative. On the mirror frame, the readability of a pattern with some distance is important. Although flat non-screens (up to 4 cm) profiles without explicit relief in this case are also good.
At the end of the ends, everyone is nice to look at his face in a gorgeous framing!
Reliable rear
There are two options for fastening mirrors. First fixation on the wall of the canvas itself. This case is possible a thin decorative frame that does not bear its mass. The second option is installed on the baguette. The mass of the mirror falls on the lower side of the frame.
On mirrors marked in aluminum or plastic baguette, standard fasteners are installed. They are glued directly to the mirror canvase on the reverse side. If it is difficult because of the deep profile, the fasteners are mounted on the back side, along the corners of the frame, with the help of special accessories, the corner.
The location of the attachment is usually located on 1/3 of the frame height. Modern mirrors can be elongated both vertically and horizontally, in contrast, for example, from baroque, oriented strictly vertically. Inesley do not have any special instructions of the customer, new models are prepared for suspension and vertical and horizontal position.
Elements of fasteners are often performed in the form of "ears", which are rejected from the rear surface of the mirror. The mounting on the cable leads to a deviation of the plane of the mirror from the wall. To eliminate this phenomenon, cork pads are placed under the lower edge of the bar. Is the same as the most reliable way to suspend the mirror on the tight metal rings. They are attached to its reverse side on a dual metal plate and cling to the hooks driven into the wall.
