It’s Time To Look At Bathroom Mirrors In A Whole New Light!

Smart technology is finding its way into more rooms in every home, and the bathroom is no exception. New smart mirror technology is helping homeowners to elevate both the form and function of their bathroom. It’s also helping them to see themselves in a whole new light!

What are smart mirrors?

Smart mirror technology for bathrooms is designed to make your time in the bathroom more enjoyable. Smart mirrors like those in the Aulic range are beautiful to look at and they come with some beautiful features.

• Backlit with dimmable three-colour LED lighting, these smart mirrors generate an impeccably clear vision which is very much like viewing yourself in natural light. With Aulic, it really is a case of mirror, mirror on the wall, thank you for making me the fairest of them all!

• The touch-free sensor takes away the need to think about flicking a switch, which comes in handy as you race from one room to the next. In fact, the Aulic takes care of everything, including automatically powering off after 90 minutes. The option remains to flick the on-off switch if you prefer.

• For those who like it hot in the bathroom, and who doesn’t, the built-in demister in the Aulic smart mirror range leaves you seeing clearly, always.

So, when you’re ready to think mirrors, there are plenty of reasons to think smart!

Make a statement

In the earliest of times, a pool of water or polished metal surface was the only way to get a glimpse of yourself. The advent of glass mirrors made this much easier. Now it’s time to step away from the ordinary and the stock-standard mirror and into something much more enlightening (see what we did there!).

CURVES ARE TRENDING

Round mirrors add curves and soften the hard edges and lines that are common in bathrooms. They also act as a focal point and can be used to draw attention to interesting architectural features. The Aulic Windsor Round LED Mirror in 900*900*30mm or the smaller Aulic Windsor Round LED in 700*700*30mm are both good round smart-mirror choices.

CREATE THE ILLUSION OF A HIGHER CEILING

Get the best of everything when you choose an arch-shaped mirror. They have a way of opening, optimising and elongating spaces with their tall design. Check out the Aulic Canterbury Arch LED 500*900*30mm , which has been designed to make a big impression.

CREATE A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE

Oblong mirrors such at the Aulic Beau Monde Oblong LED 450*900*30mm bring an elegance and contemporary sophistication to the bathroom. They work well with a broad range of bathroom styles including contemporary, coastal, luxe, farmhouse and Hamptons.

Make it last

While a bathroom is a gorgeous space in your home to spend time, it is put to the test daily as it fills with steam, copes with splashes large and small, and as the temperature rises and falls.

Aulic mirrors are copper free, to reduce the risk of corrosion and to offer a long life regardless of the conditions they are in.

Once rusting appears beneath the surface of the coating on a copper-based mirror, there can be nothing done to get rid of it. Copper-free mirrors like those in the Aulic range are as much as three times more resistant to corrosion than their traditional copper-based cousins.

Make it shine

Backlit mirrors make it easier to do some of the things that life requires – whether it’s shaving, applying make-up, or styling your hair. They provide a perfectly subtle and natural glow to get the job done by. They also give a relaxing ambiance.

When you choose an LED backlit mirror, you’re choosing an environmentally friendly choice.

• LED mirrors are much more energy efficient than regular lights or standard incandescent bulbs.

• They are a great way to reduce your electricity consumption and your electricity bills.

• The average lifespan of an LED light is 50,000 hours. This is 40 times longer than an incandescent bulb and 40,000 hours longer than a fluorescent bulb.

• LED lights don’t release environmental wastes such as mercury.

• LED mirrors like those in the Aulic range are robust and offer a long life, and that means less materials get sent to landfill.

TOP TRADELINK MIRROR TIP… With so many different mirror sizes and shapes available, it’s a good idea to literally map out the mirror you are considering in your bathroom. You can use masking tape, or if the walls are already sheeted, draw the shape in pencil. Then stand back and consider how things look.

Will the mirror work with your basin and vanity setup? Does its positioning leave enough room for towel rails? Should it be taller, shorter, wider, or smaller?
