Gyms have changed. Gone are the days of the ‘traditional’ gym featuring nothing but weightlifting and bodybuilders in a dark, sparsely decorated room reminiscent of a backstage area on a film set.
Replacing them are some genuine architectural wonders. Filled with a range of ages and genders meeting their own individual fitness needs in welcoming, well lit locations.
As is the case in many modern designs, glass pays a huge part in the modern gym.
That’s not to say glass is new to gyms. For as long as men and women have been working out, mirror glass has provided them with a visual progress update.
This is something that has continued through to the modern day, with gym walls lined with floor to ceiling mirror glass panels and even full glass posing rooms.
Entire buildings including walls and even some floors are now being made from glass with projects across London, and the UK looking for the clean touch that the material brings.
What is mirror glass?
Also called reflective glass, mirror glass is a type of float glass that has been made with a reflective silver and copper coating on the back surface.Mirror is not exclusive as a use of personal reflectiveness, it can be used with great effect in architecture and construction.
Mirror glass in gyms
Due to its reflective surface mirror glass has long been a feature in gyms. It allows those exercising to see their progress, as well as providing a sharp image for those all important Instagram gym selfies which fill up our feeds.
It also adds a level of visual safety. Some lifting and stretching requires correct form to avoid injuries. By being clearly reflective, a high quality, durable mirror glass panel means anyone working out can see in real time any adjustments that may be needed.
