Production of mirror tiles - ready small business ideas
In the design of the apartment, you can make an unusual mood with mirror tiles. It is a tile that is laid out a bathroom or kitchen, but made of mirrors. The idea, of course, not mine - as a child I lived in the apartment where the bathroom wall was lined with half-meter mirror tiles (perhaps this is affected).
But in the modern version, which allows for advanced features of good tools, mirrors, machines that can run on a desktop, and so I created all by myself by long trial and error.
I have already implemented this project, and that he feeds me, my family and a few guys who are helping me to carry out orders. The essence of business is simple - you buy a mirror, or a mirror of production waste, cut them to size tiles, custom or "standard."
You then need to sand the edge of the mirror, and chamfering.
To enhance the decorative effect, the tiles can be by sandblasting or chemical etching cause dull image. There are also many ways to decorate a mirror in other ways - from well-known to those that you plan to come up with themselves.
After packing the tiles ready for sale. Naturally, as in any business, it is the latter point - selling - is the greatest difficulties. One person can make a monthly production of two thousand dollars or more in a very quiet mode when the working day for 4-5 hours. But the amount of the required procedure will be measured by the volume of sales, which you can achieve.
I'm working on a project of mirror tiles from March 2004, and to date, realized and tested in practice the truth of some things. I combined their findings in the articles on the site www.zerkalnoe.ru, in the Guide here. The site www.zerkalplitka.rumozhno see my biggest job - night club.
For those who want to start this production, I have developed a free course, a fairly detailed manual.
Organization of business:
Later it turned out that in many cities people have not seen even a good glass cutter. I have developed a set of tools that I use myself and can post to anywhere in the country. For grinding the mirror edge I picked stanochek imported, and also head to it, which are necessary in this case. For those who are familiar with metal, I suggest to collect the machine yourself using another benefit (I have developed such a machine before he found the company).
Naturally, all of this equipment allows to produce not only the tile, but some other products:
small mirror (my experience - to the size of 60 × 80 cm);
glass, mirrors, shelves and doors for cabinet furniture (dressers, cupboards and cabinets for TV) - to order or for a small production;
glass shelves for bathroom and kitchen;
processing of glass for repair of slot machines;
mirrors for cars outside and in the cabin (which, incidentally, is a separate small and interesting market);
I designed for stacking the technology, which combines the durability and elegant appearance, and are two of the material, which I also encourage budding entrepreneurs - they can quickly build a full cycle of production, sales and additional services.
Put this business on its feet, this means taking into account local peculiarities of the market, learn how to sell the product of its own production, and then find someone who will be directly as I say "saw orders", but most entrepreneurs have to deal with distribution system and the invention of new ways of processing and new products that are in demand in the local market.
To estimate the cost-effectiveness, I would say that a square meter of mirror waste must be obtained no more than 350 rubles. In the stores I rent a tile for 750 rubles, he sells at retail in 1000.
To make a mirror tiles to $ 1,000 and more, you need to establish a system for its products in several dozen points. This is quite a big job, which also takes time. Some extra money you can get by installing mirror tiles. Then you find a tiler, who will carry out your orders.
The same tools already allow open steklorezku.
