Stand in front of two mirrors. One Claris, on low iron mirror glass. One standard. The room looks correct in one of them. Skin reads warm. White paint stays white. Brass holds its tone. The other reflection sits a quarter-step off. Cooler. Greener.
The difference isn't only in the glass. A Claris mirror is built for three things. Customization. Quality. Longevity. The clarity is one consequence of getting all three right.
Customization
The catalogue is a starting point. Not the limit.
Every model configures along six axes.
- Dimensions. Cut to any width and height within safe-glazing tolerance. The wall decides.
- Shape. Rectangle, square, round, arched. Asymmetric and bespoke by brief. BUTTERFLY ships Left or Right. STONE turns asymmetric rock into a clean modern form.
- Frame. Aluminum, stainless steel, custom colour, custom RAL. Or frameless. DIANO ships in black matte stainless steel. ORO LIGHT in brushed gold aluminum.
- Light. Backlit, frontlit, both, or no LED. PULSE backlit with a U-shaped cut. SOUL backlit with rounded corners and a soft frosted edge.
- Colour temperature. 3000K, 4000K, 5000K. Tri-Temp switchable on STONE, PULSE, SOUL.
- Controls. Soft touch, multi-touch, wave motion. Anti-fog optional. EVOLUTION runs multi-touch with an integrated 5x magnifier.
Catalogue orders ship in 4 to 6 weeks. In-stock pieces ship within one week. Custom orders are quoted per project.
Quality
Materials chosen for the eye, not the price.
Belgian glass. A low iron mirror substrate, architectural-grade float. The base of every Claris piece. The green cast that most reflections carry drops below the threshold most observers can name.
Copper-free silvering. The silver layer is sealed against humidity, no copper backing. No warm shift in the reflection. No edge mottling at year five or year twenty.
Designer-grade colour-rendering LEDs. The colour-rendering index is the lighting equivalent of glass clarity. A higher index keeps colour accurate under the light: skin tones, fabric, metal finishes, paint.
Together: a reflection that reads the room as the architect drew it.
Longevity
Built to outlast the renovation cycle.
Five years on residential installations. Glass, silvering, electronics. Two years on commercial installations. The shorter commercial window reflects higher use cycles, not a different build.
No edge mottling. The black corrosion that ages standard bathroom mirrors is copper degradation. A copper-free seal removes the cause.
Certified to North American standards.
A mirror should not be a renovation-cycle purchase. Specify a Claris piece once, and the renovation works around it.
A note on craftsmanship
Belgian glass is the foundation. Ukrainian craftsmanship is the build. Toronto coordination is the trade relationship.
Benoît Gérard, our Creative Director, designs the Gemini Collection against the same brief every collaborating designer eventually writes: the mirror should disappear, and the room should arrive. The substrate is what makes that disappearance possible. The frame and the silhouette decide whether the room arrives gracefully.
