Gilded Mirrors

What Gilded Mirrors does

Gilded Mirrors & Glass LLC is a custom mirror manufacturer founded in 1963, operating from a single production facility at 5002 US Highway 411 South in Maryville, Tennessee. The company fabricates mirrors to customer specification using a modern silvering line and CNC cutting and edging equipment, processing float glass sourced from US-based manufacturers into products that meet ASTM C 1503 and ASTM C 1036 standards. Its service portfolio spans edge treatments (clean cut, seamed, pencil polished), beveling, custom CNC-cut shapes including oval, round, pill, and arched configurations, ANSI Z97-compliant safety tape backing, custom packaging options (L-bucks, crates, metal racks, individual wrapping), and freight logistics for nationwide delivery. Mirror thickness ranges from 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, with glass products up to 3/8 inch.

The company runs a B2B sales-led, quote-based commercial model targeting four verticals: commercial construction (office, retail, healthcare, education, hospitality), multi-family residential developers, building materials distributors, and OEM product manufacturers. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, with bulk commercial orders handled through direct engagement via website forms, phone, and email. The firm holds 11-50 employees and ships throughout the continental United States. BABAA certification, NAM membership, and 60+ years of continuous operation are positioned as primary differentiators, particularly for federally funded and code-regulated projects where American-made content and compliance with ASTM and ANSI standards carry meaningful specification weight.
