Pencil-Edge Square Bathroom Mirrors (750mm) Explained
A 750mm square mirror is a clean, balanced shape for a single vanity, and a pencil-edge finish keeps it minimal and frameless. The narrow, gently rounded polish around the glass gives a tidy edge without any surrounding trim — an easy match for almost any bathroom style.
What a pencil edge is
A pencil edge is a slim, softly rounded polish worked into the perimeter of the glass. Unlike a bevel, which cuts a wide angled facet, the pencil edge is subtle and understated — you notice a smooth, finished border rather than a decorative one. It is the quietest of the frameless edge treatments and suits a pared-back, modern look.
Why choose a square
A 750mm square reads as calm and deliberate, and its symmetry makes centring over a basin straightforward. It works particularly well over a wider single vanity or a square above-counter basin, echoing the geometry below. Squares also sit comfortably in grid-tiled bathrooms where the straight lines reinforce one another.
Mounting and care
Frameless mirrors are typically fixed with concealed clips or mirror adhesive on a flat, sound wall. Set the mirror so your eyeline falls just above centre, and keep the fixings clear of the polished edge. Clean with a soft cloth and avoid letting spray pool at the corners, which protects the silvering over time.
