Storm door panels are typically made from tempered or laminated glass, and each type has its benefits. Tempered glass goes through a special heating and cooling process, increasing its strength and durability. It’s known for its safety features—when it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than sharp shards. Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of plastic between two layers of glass. This interlayer holds the glass pieces together even when shattered, preventing them from scattering. 

The cost to remove a mirrored wall from your home ranges between $100 and $3,300, though the average price is only $500. You can save money by doing it yourself, but make sure you have safety equipment such as goggles and gloves, as well as the proper tools (drywall knife, wire saw, and a plastic sheet or tarp to cover the floor).

Wall-to-wall mirrors have fallen out of popularity in recent years and have several drawbacks. They take up a lot of space, which can overwhelm small bathrooms. If you like the look, a wall of reflective medicine cabinets can add storage. Just keep in mind that a wall of mirrors requires more maintenance because smudges and splashes are more visible than on a wall.

If you have a small damaged mirror, chances are it’s better to replace it, as the repair will average around $200, and replacement could cost around the same price. If you’re working with a large mirror—like one over a bathroom vanity or a large floor mirror—or an antique mirror, it’s often more affordable to repair it. Large mirrors can cost hundreds of dollars, and depending on the type of repair you need, you’ll spend just $50 to $200 fixing it, ultimately saving you some money. Antique mirrors might be priceless, so a repair might be the only option.
