Affordable Wall Mirrors in Chicago, IL

Chicago homes rarely come with a spare room for a gym. The squat rack ends up in a bungalow basement, a back bedroom of a two-flat, or the garage off the alley, and the mirror has to fit whatever wall is left. Affordable wall mirrors in Chicago come down to a few numbers: the panel, the install, and the wall you're putting it on.

Below you'll find every one of those numbers, five typical Chicago setups priced out, and how far from our Lincolnwood location we'll drive to install them.

What Affordable Wall Mirrors in Chicago Cost

There are two sizes, both 1/4-inch glass with a safety film on the back. We make, store, and install them ourselves and sell direct, so there's no retailer in the middle adding to the price.

Before tax. The final total shows at checkout.

What's Included and What Costs Extra

Every panel ships with a satin silver J-channel (the rail the bottom edge sits in), top clips, and screws. These are the only things that change the price:

• Installation: $75 per mirror. It's the option we recommend.
• Wall type: drywall is the base price; concrete, block, or brick adds $50 per mirror.
• Premium finish: $30 per mirror for a second channel along the top instead of clips.
• Matte black hardware: $15 per mirror. Satin silver is standard.
• Outlet or switch cutout: $150 each.
• Mirror adhesive: $15 per mirror, optional.

Shop Pay lets eligible buyers split orders from $50 to $999.99 into four interest-free payments, so a single installed 4 × 6 ft panel ($419.99) works out to about $105 a payment. Delivery-only and local pickup are available too, though each 4 × 6 ft panel weighs about 75 pounds.

Chicago Setups, Priced Out

Bungalow basements

The Chicago bungalow is brick, a story and a half tall, and sits over a full basement. More than 80,000 are still standing, nearly a third of the city's single-family homes, according to the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association. That full basement is a natural spot for a home gym.

Measure the clear height under the lowest pipe or beam before you choose a size. Upright 3 × 5 ft panels fit where a 6-foot panel won't, and the crew shims the channel wherever an old foundation wall bows.

Priced out: four 3 × 5 ft panels across a 13-foot basement wall, $1,399.96 installed.

Two-flats, greystones, and vintage apartments

Older buildings mean plaster walls, and plaster isn't one of the wall choices at checkout. Email us a photo of the wall before you order and we'll tell you how we'd mount it. Renting? The glass sits in a channel with clips on top and no glue, so moving out means patching a few small screw holes.

Priced out: one 4 × 6 ft panel on a back-bedroom wall for stretching or a bike, $419.99 installed.

Garages off the alley

Chicago has about 1,900 miles of alleys, per the Chicago Department of Transportation, and in alley neighborhoods the garage usually sits at the back of the lot, opening onto one. A detached two-car garage gives you a concrete floor and a long wall. Mirror the one you face while lifting, and if the walls are bare studs, send a photo first. Our guide to garage gym mirrors has more setup tips.

Priced out: four 4 × 6 ft panels centered on a 20-foot garage wall, leaving 2 feet open at each end, $1,679.96 installed on drywall.

Lofts and studios

Many converted lofts in the West Loop and Printers Row keep their exposed brick, which is one of the wall options at checkout. Old masonry is rarely flat, so expect some shimming. For a studio or training space, commercial installs are booked in half-day blocks so you can schedule around classes.

Priced out: seven 4 × 6 ft panels on a 29-foot studio wall, $2,939.93 installed on drywall.

Newer suburban homes

Newer houses in Naperville, Schaumburg, or Orland Park are usually drywall throughout, which keeps them at the base price. The usual snag is an outlet on the mirror wall: we mount above it or cut around it. Our guide to home gym mirrors in Chicago covers layout room by room.

Priced out: two 4 × 6 ft panels on a 9-foot bonus-room wall, $839.98 installed.

Each example leaves about 6 inches of open wall at both ends, unless noted. Prices are before tax.

Delivery Area: Chicago and 100 Miles Around It

Our crew works out of 3630 W Pratt Ave, Lincolnwood, IL 60712, on the city's North Side border about 10 miles from the Loop. We deliver and install anywhere within 100 miles of that address, usually within 3 to 10 days.

Distances are straight-line. Peoria and Champaign are outside the area, so call us if you're near the edge.

How Ordering Works

1. 1

   Measure the wall

   Write down the width and the clear height. One 4 × 6 ft panel covers every 4 feet of width; one 3 × 5 ft covers every 3 feet.

2. 2

   Order online

   Choose sizes, wall type, and finish, upload a photo that shows the outlets and baseboard, and pick an install date and time slot. No quote needed for a standard wall.

3. 3

   We hang it

   Two installers level the channel, set the panels, clip the top, and clean up. Plan on about 30 minutes per mirror; one wall up to 16 feet usually takes 2 to 3 hours.

We average 4.99 across 631 reviews on our site and 5.0 on Google, and you can read the reviews before you buy. For sizing help beyond this page, see our complete guide to home gym mirrors.
