Gio Bella Mirrors

Fifteen Gio mirrors are stocked, and they do three different jobs rather than one. Eleven are LED mirrors in round, oval and rectangular formats, two are mirror cabinets with storage behind the door, and two are magnified shaving mirrors. The brand is sold in South Africa as both Gio Bella and Gio Plumbing. Sizes are written into every title, which is the quickest way to shortlist. For the wider catalogue, start at Gio Bella.

LED, Anti-Fog and the Plain Ones

Eleven of the fifteen carry LED in the title. Two of those also state anti-fog: the 1000mm Led Oval and the 900mm round with three lighting settings. Do not read either feature across the rest, because those titles do not claim it. Three state an IP44 rating, the Alex 1200X600 and both Brilliance panels, and the two Brilliance mirrors are described as copper free. Where a title is silent on a feature, treat it as unstated rather than implied.

The four without LED are the two mirror cabinets, at 750X660X127 and 880X660X127, and the two shaving mirrors, one extendable and one magnified three times. The cabinets are the only items here that add storage, and both are 127mm deep, so allow for that projection off the wall.

Reading the Sizes

The rectangular LED mirrors run 800X600, 900X600, 1200X600, 1200X700 and 1400X600, with a 600X900 hung vertically and a 700X700 square. Round comes in 700mm and 900mm, and there is one 1000mm oval. Watch the number order, because it is not consistent between titles: some read width, thickness, height and others width, height, thickness. The odd small figure, 5, 25, 35 or 45, is a thickness rather than a face dimension.

Fitting and Power

One title states how the mirror is powered: the Alex 1200X600 names a rechargeable battery. The other ten LED mirrors do not state a supply, so confirm it on the product page before you commit to a spur or close up the tiling. Mounting height is a judgement call rather than a rule, but centring the mirror on the basin rather than on the wall usually reads better above a Gio vanity. Towel rails, hooks and the rest of the wall fittings sit on Gio bathroom accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Gio Bella LED mirrors anti-fog?

Two of them say so in the title: the 1000mm Led Oval and the 900mm round with three lighting settings. The other nine LED mirrors here do not state anti-fog, so treat it as unstated rather than assumed. If demisting matters to you, buy one of the two that names it or ask us to confirm against a specific product code before ordering.

How are the Gio LED mirrors powered?

Only one title says. The Alex 1200X600 names a rechargeable battery, which means no supply behind the glass. The remaining ten LED mirrors do not state how they are fed, so check the individual product page before you position a spur or sign off the electrical layout. Getting this wrong is expensive once the wall is tiled and the chase is closed.

What sizes do Gio Bella mirrors come in?

Rectangular options are 800X600, 900X600, 1200X600, 1200X700 and 1400X600, plus a 600X900 hung vertically and a 700X700 square. There are two round mirrors at 700mm and 900mm and one 1000mm oval. The mirror cabinets are 750X660X127 and 880X660X127. Number order varies between titles, so read the small figure as a thickness.

Is there a Gio mirror cabinet with storage?

Two of them. One is an aluminium cabinet at 750X660X127 and the other is a cabinet at 880X660X127. Both are 127mm deep, which is the figure that catches people out in a narrow bathroom, so measure the projection against the door swing and against anyone standing at the basin before you commit to one.

Which mirror size suits a 600mm vanity?

An 800X600 or a 700X700 both work above a 600mm unit, and a 700mm round is the softer option if the rest of the room is square. Going wider than the vanity is a look rather than a mistake, but keep the mirror centred on the basin instead of the cabinet, because an offset basin will make a centred mirror look wrong.
