Professional Grade Mirrors for Home & Commercial Gyms
Whether you are building a commercial fitness center, a yoga studio, or a basement home gym, mirrors are essential. They allow users to check form, open up the space, and motivate effort. However, gym mirrors must be installed with safety as the top priority. Installix provides professional gym mirror installation using large-format 6mm glass with safety backing and secure J-channel mounting, ensuring your workout space is safe, functional, and impressive.
Why Gym Mirrors are Different
Safety First
In a gym, weights bang and bodies move. Standard mirrors can shatter dangerously. We use mirrors with Safety Backing (Category II). If the glass breaks, the shards stay adhered to the backing rather than falling on the user.
Distortion-Free Reflection
When checking squat depth or yoga poses, you need a true image. Thin mirrors (3mm or 4mm) flex on the wall, creating a "funhouse" effect. We use rigid 6mm (1/4") glass to ensure a perfectly flat, undistorted reflection.
The Solution: Floor-to-Ceiling or Floating
We typically install mirrors starting 12-18 inches off the floor (to clear outlets and avoid weights hitting the bottom) and running up to 6 or 7 feet high. We mount them side-by-side with polished edges for a near-seamless continuous wall of glass.
Why Choose Installix?
- J-Channel Mounting: We support the heavy weight of the glass on a metal J-Channel screwed into the studs. This is far safer than relying on glue alone.
- Outlet Accommodation: We cut precise openings for outlets so you don't lose power access on your mirror wall.
- Low-Iron Option: For ultra-bright white gyms, we offer Low-Iron mirrors that eliminate the slight green tint of standard glass.
Technical Specifications

Our Process: Big Glass, Safe Hands
Step 1: Wall Prep
We verify the wall is flat. Bumps in drywall cause distortion. We locate all studs for channel mounting.
Step 2: Logistics
Gym mirrors are huge (often 4' x 8' or larger). We plan the entry route to ensure we can get the glass into your basement or studio.
Step 3: Installation
We install the bottom track, apply mastic, set the glass, and secure the top clips/track. We polish it clean and it's ready for your next workout.
Pricing Factors
- Access: Getting 8ft sheets of glass down a narrow basement stairwell is difficult and may require cutting mirrors smaller (increasing seam count).
- Cutouts: Holes for TV mounts or outlets add fabrication cost.
