FAQs

How does a mirror magnify?

Magnification in traditional "bent-glass" mirrors is a product of the curvature of the bend and the diameter of the glass. Greater curvature produces greater magnification. As the curvature increases, the possibility of distortion increases, especially as the diameter of the glass also increases. Generally speaking, it is for this reason that most larger dimater mirrors have less magnifaction than the smaller diamter styles.

Do I have to worry about the metal frames pitting or tarnishing?

Our Kimball & Young metal-framed mirrors go through a 4-step process to prevent pitting and tarnishing.

Step 1  Cleans the metal in a neutralizing water bath.
Step 2  Treats the metal in a pre-plating nickel bath.
Step 3  Uses an acid-bath plating method to apply to chrome, gold, or nickel plating.
Step 4  Finishes the process with an application of an anti-tarnishing lacquer coating.
