High Quality Lighted Mirror Model HQ001
HQ001 is the model most of our hotel clients order first. It is a plain rectangular frameless mirror with a frosted light band, and it is deliberately simple so nothing on it can go wrong at volume.
What This Model Is For
HQ001 is a simple model. That is the point of it. There is no frame to chip, no shelf to load and no decorative edge to mismatch, which makes it the safest model to repeat three hundred times across a property.
The difficulty in a plain frameless mirror is in details the drawing does not show: how sharp the frosted band is at the corners, whether the LED strip shows as dots through the glass, and whether the silver edge is still clean after two years of steam. Those are the details we build the model around.

What You Get From This Model
Repeatable Across Hundreds of Rooms
Same glass batch, same LED output, same frosting width, so units installed on different floors match at handover.
No Visible Fixture
The frosted band is the only lit element, so the mirror reads as part of the wall rather than as a light fitting.
Straightforward Site Handling
No frame corners to protect in transit and no shelf to align on the wall, which cuts damage and installation time on a busy site.

Where This Model Is Installed
- Hotel guest bathrooms on a repeat room layout
- Apartment, condo and multi-family bathrooms
- Extended stay and serviced residence bathrooms
- Retail and wholesale programmes needing a repeatable frameless model
Who It Is For
Hotel owners, general contractors and interior design companies specifying one mirror for a whole property, plus distributors who need a model they can reorder without re-approving a sample.
What Goes Wrong Without It
Mirrors that no longer match after two years
Copper-free and lead-free silver with a sealed edge resists the creeping black edge that shows up first on the units nearest the shower.
Visible LED dots through the frosting
The frosted panel and LED spacing are matched so the band reads as a continuous line rather than a row of points.
Slow installation on a tight programme
The wall plate goes up first and the mirror hangs onto it, so first fix and final fix can be done by different crews.
How This Model Is Built
Distortion Free Silver Mirror
5mm environmental silver mirror with a fingerprint-proof frosted panel. No copper and no lead in the coating, so the silver edge does not creep or corrode in a wet bathroom.
Shatter Proof Safety Backing
Safety backing film is bonded to the rear of the glass, so a broken mirror stays in one piece instead of falling into a guest bathroom.
Powder Coated Anti Rust Frame
Strong powder coating adhesion on the aluminium body. The coating does not flake off the metal and the metal does not rust.
Structural Bonding
High strength adhesive and a rigid aluminium structure hold the glass, the light box and the mounting plate together as one assembly.
Easy Installation System
A wall plate is fixed first, then the mirror is hung on it. One installer can set a mirror without a second pair of hands on site.
Clean on Every Surface
Every face of the finished product is cleaned and inspected, including the back and the edges the guest never sees.

Fix the wall plate to the stud or to a suitable anchor at the height given on the drawing, and check it is level before hanging anything.
Make the electrical connection to the driver before the mirror is lifted into place; all parts are UL listed or CE certified.
Hang the mirror on the plate and secure it, then test the switch, the dimming and the defogger if one is fitted.
Clean the face with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use a solvent on the frosted band.
