F1710 Free-Standing Mirror: an aluminium frame at 50 x 160cm
This guide is about
F1710 Free-Standing Mirror
The F1710 Free-Standing Mirror is the floor version of the SY1710, listed at 50 x 160cm. It is one of the few mirrors in this range whose construction is actually stated: the frame is aluminium, and that is worth leading with, because it changes how the thing behaves in a room rather than only how it looks.
What an aluminium frame changes
Aluminium is a light metal. A tall mirror framed in it is easier to lift and reposition than the same area of glass in a heavy timber surround, which matters for a piece you may want to try in two or three places before it settles.
The listing credits the aluminium with resisting corrosion, which is the supplier's wording rather than a tested figure. It does not give the frame's finish or colour, its profile width, or a weight for the whole piece, so "light" here is a comparison and not a number you can plan a carry around. If it is going upstairs, ask the shop for the weight first.
50 x 160cm, standing up
160cm is tall for a floor mirror, and height is the reason to buy one: a piece this tall standing on the floor shows an adult head to toe rather than head to waist. The listing does not say how much of the 160cm is glass and how much is frame, so check the photographs. At 50cm wide it is a touch broader than the narrowest floor mirrors here, which gives a fuller reflection but asks for a little more wall.
Two measurements decide whether it works. The first is the clear width of the wall, taken at skirting height rather than at eye height, because skirting and radiator pipes are what actually stop a frame sitting back. The second is the depth of floor in front of it: a leaning mirror stands forward of the skirting, and that strip of floor has to stay empty. The listing does not say whether a stay, strap or anti-tip fixing is supplied, so ask, particularly if the room is shared with children.
The SY1710 codes, and which size each one is
| Code | Size | Form |
|---|---|---|
| F1710 | 50 x 160cm | Free-standing (this listing) |
| SY1710-1 | 80 x 160cm | Wall |
| SY1710-2 | 80 x 120cm | Wall |
| SY1710-3 | 60 x 80cm | Wall |
| SY1710-4 | 40 x 60cm | Wall |
| SY1710-5 | 40 x 120cm | Wall |
The wall sizes live on the SY1710 Wall Mirror listing, where the size selector carries four of them: 40 x 60cm, 40 x 120cm, 60 x 80cm and 80 x 120cm. The 80 x 160cm appears in that listing's written description but not in its selector, so ask the shop about that size rather than assuming it can be supplied. Quote the code when you enquire: the sizes repeat across other families here, and the code is the only thing that is unambiguous. Note too that the listing gives each size as a bare pair of figures, so confirm which number is the width if you are fitting one into an alcove.
Before you order
- Frame finish and colour: not stated. The product photographs are the guide, and there are four of them.
- Weight and glass thickness: not stated.
- Anti-tip fixing: not stated as included.
- Orientation of the figures: confirm with the shop.
If the floor plan rules out a leaning mirror, the 8008 Free-Standing Mirror is narrower at 40 x 150cm, and the F1761 (LED) Free-Standing Mirror adds a lit border at 55 x 160cm. The full range is in Wall Mirrors, and the F1710 Free-Standing Mirror is the one to take if you want the tall aluminium frame on the floor. Delivery is free within 50 miles of the Glasgow store and £50 beyond.
