For small footprints in the bathroom

Schneider mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors are made of aluminium. The material is endlessly recyclable and is characterised by durability, stability and a multitude of other positive properties.

Leads the way

Schneider leads the way when it comes to mirror cabinets made of aluminium profiles. In 1967, we were one of the first manufacturers in Europe to produce aluminium mirror cabinets. Today, with the exception of Schneider LUNE, we manufacture our mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors from 100% recycled aluminum*. Aluminium is characterised by a multitude of positive properties. It is extremely robust, rust- and mould-free, durable, hygienic, and particularly easy to clean.

Efficient, environmentally friendly LED technology

In our mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors we use state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly and efficient LED technology. In addition, the luminaires are extremely durable – with a guaranteed operating life of 50,000 hours.

Modern production facilities

Schneider uses state-of-the-art lean management. Just-in-time production leads to low storage costs and reduces space consumption. This saves valuable resources. In addition, the cardboard packaging is custom cut to size to reduce waste. We transport some of the products by rail to save CO2 emissions. We get part of the energy from the photovoltaic system, which has been in operation since October, 2023.

With the modern powder coating plant installed in 2017, we save 20% of the energy needed for powder coating and achieve a high recycling rate of 10% of the total powder.

* 100% of our aluminium profiles are based on recycled aluminium. This has a used material content of approx. 80%.
