Product: Image “18” High Impact Mirrors & Floor Mounted Ballet Barres
When it comes to dance, fitness, relaxation or family time Canada Water Studios literally have it all. There is not an age group they have missed, you can find any kind of dance, fitness class or music and movement for babies and everything from pregnancy yoga and birthing classes to gymboree and ballet tots to adult professional ballet, zumba and weight loss clubs. Naturally when it came to fitting dance studio mirrors and ballet barres in their studio Glass Installations’ top of the range high impact Image “18” Mirrors and floor mounted ballet barre was the choice in the new studio.
Managing Director Julian Richards said one of the walls they intended to mirror had service valves built within the wall so were going to stop the studio mirrors at that point making the mirror and floor mounted barre 2m shorter than they would have liked.
Installing dance studio mirrors
When Glass Installations called to carry out the pre-manufacture survey Mr Richards happened to mention this, we promptly came up with a plan to install the mirrors as they originally wanted with the addition of a secret mirrored service door without any visible handle or hinges. When access is required you simply press your finger on one side and the small door opens on a magnetic push catch. This means they can now fit up to an extra 5 students on that portion of the wall, which of course would have been left blank.
Although Glass Installations has a unique and neat bracket fixing system for our integrated wall fixed ballet barres, Canada Water chose to install the floor mounted ballet barres in front of the Image “18” Mirrors. Floor mounted ballet barres are an ideal permanent solution to ballet barres for dance studios. They can be fitted with or without dance mirrors and are also an excellent option at building stages. Please enquire about the requirements needed to fit a floor mounted ballet barre into your studio.
Floor mounted ballet barres are also available in single or as shown at Canada Water double tier options. They are secure and modern looking in design and we are very pleased that Canada Water Studios chose this option to compliment the High Impact dance studio mirrors they had installed on two walls.
