Why Clear Measurements Matter
For custom OEM/ODM mirrors, accurate measurements and clear communication are essential. Even small errors can lead to delays, design revisions, and additional costs. This guide will help you provide all the key details we need so that our engineering team can transform your specifications into precise CAD drawings — ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.

Step by Step: How to Measure Your Mirror
1. Overall Dimensions
Start by measuring the width and height of your mirror in millimeters or centimeters. If the size you need is different from those displayed in our catalog, please share the exact details so we can adjust the design accordingly.
2. Glass Thickness
Confirm the thickness of the glass, usually 4 mm or 5 mm. This ensures stability and compatibility with your chosen design.
3. Lighting Area
Decide where you want the LED lighting to be positioned — front, back, edge, or even a combination. You can also choose between single-tone, two-tone, or three-tone LED options depending on the atmosphere you want to create.
4. Front Design & Dual Lighting
Think about whether your mirror should include both front and back lighting. If you want to add style, consider decorative patterns or sandblasting on the front surface.
5. Cut-outs and DrillingI
dentify the exact positions for functional elements such as touch sensors, knob switches, USB/USB-C ports, or sockets. Clear placement helps us design precise cut-outs in the glass.
6. Mounting System
Choose how the mirror will be installed: wall-hanging, recessed, or surface-mounted. Don’t forget to specify details about hangers or brackets if required.
7. Frame or Frameless
Finally, decide whether you prefer a framed mirror (metal or aluminum, with custom finish) or a frameless design for a sleek, minimal look.
Visual Aid
To ensure there is no misunderstanding, we recommend providing a simple sketch or diagram with arrows indicating each measurement — overall dimensions, thickness, lighting position, and cut-out points. This helps our engineers confirm your requirements quickly and accurately.
