F.03

The object

What you get

The steel frame. Your glazier cuts and sets the glass to the drawing that ships with it. In Portland and Vancouver we supply the glass and set it ourselves.

Nothing is cut before you approve the drawing. The approved drawing is what both sides are holding.

The shadow is yours to set

The backing is not ours to supply. It only affects looks: every ⅛″ of backing you leave out adds ⅛″ of shadow around the glass.

Where a 30 × 60 goes

Thirty by sixty is the narrow-wall piece. It fits the wall beside a door, the pier between two windows, and the end of a hallway — places where a wider frame would crowd the trim and a shorter one would look stranded. At five feet tall it reflects a person from roughly the knee up, so it works as a dressing mirror without being a full-length one. It is also the first size in the collection that leans convincingly: stood on the floor against a wall it reads as a floor mirror, and a floor mirror ships complete because nothing has to be hung.

The section, exactly

Every piece in the collection uses the same member. One leg stands off the wall, the other lies flat against it, and the glass rests down inside the L on the back leg — so the room sees only the ⅛″ edge of the standing leg while the frame stands 1½″ proud of the wall.

Glass, and who cuts it

Glass for the F.03 is cut to 29½ × 59½″ — the frame opening less ¼″ overall, which leaves ⅛″ of clearance on each side. Who supplies it depends on where the piece is going and whether it hangs.

Finish and fabrication

Powder coat, matte black or warm white. Corners are mitered at 45° on a fiber laser, welded by hand and ground flush, so no seam and no weld bead is visible at the joint — which is the whole reason the frame reads as one continuous line of steel rather than four pieces meeting. Cut, welded and finished in Vancouver, Washington.

Made to order, so nothing is stocked and nothing is cut before you approve the drawing. Transit damage and any mismatch with the approved drawing are covered, freight both ways, reported within 48 hours.

Questions

How big is the F.03 frame, and what size glass does it take?

The frame is 30 × 60 inches on the outside. Glass is cut to 29½ × 59½ inches — the opening less ¼ inch overall, ⅛ inch of clearance per side.

Can the F.03 be used as a floor mirror?

Yes, and that is the one case where a piece ships complete anywhere in the country rather than frame only. A leaning mirror is not hung, so we can set the glass here and send it as a finished object. Ask for it as a floor piece when you send the size.

What does the F.03 weigh?

About 19 pounds of steel — roughly 15 feet of 1½ × 1½ × ⅛ inch hot-rolled angle before glazing. Glazed weight depends on the mirror and backing. Over 60 pounds installed, blocking is specified on the drawing.

Does $925 include the mirror?

Not for a wall piece shipped out of the area — that is frame only, and your glazier cuts and sets the glass to the drawing. In Portland and Vancouver we supply and set the glass. As a floor mirror it is complete anywhere.

How long does an F.03 take?

Two weeks to ship, counted from drawing approval. Nothing is cut before you approve it.

The other three sizes

Same 1½″ angle, same corners, same finish — only the proportion changes. Price follows the length of steel in the perimeter, which is why the square is the least expensive piece and the six-footer the most. Any size is made to order; these four are the catalogue.

Every dimension, tolerance and finish is on the specification page — the reference to hand a glazier or put in a drawing set.
