How does the mirror removal procedure work?
Do you want to get rid of your old-styled and framed mirror? Take the mirror removal today. A full-length mirror from ceiling to floor was a very famous house decor item back in the 90s era. If considered in today’s generation, these mirrors have no place in the decoration. A full-length mirror is not contemplated as the stuff that enhances the look of the home. Many homeowners are choosing to install a seamless and medium-sized mirror not only in their bathrooms but also in their rooms.
Mirrors are hung with glue and adhesive, that’s why they should be removed appropriately so that your walls cannot get any spots, damages, and patches. Take the mirror removal only from specialized professionals to ensure that your mirror is removed safely. Experts will follow all the necessary safety precautions such as wearing safety glasses, using a putty knife and heat gun, wearing gloves (leather), and using a heavy canvas drop cloth.
Steps to follow for the mirror removal process
The below steps will be followed by the experts in mirror removal.
1- Protect yourself and the area
When professionals start with the mirror removal process, they will ensure that safety is measured and its norms are followed properly. If the mirror above the vanity needs to be removed, first they will free the countertop space. They will wear gloves and glasses so that they may not get harm during the mirror removal.
2- Tape the mirror
Professionals will cover the whole mirror with the mirror tape in various directions. They will either stick the tape to the mirror strips or can also put small inches of mirror tape around the whole mirror. The mirror tape helps in preventing the mirror chips from spreading over here and there.
3- Heat the glue
Glue heating is suitable for the mirror with less than 2*2 feet. Experts use the blow dryer or glue gun to heat the mirror edges and corner and then move towards heating the center part. They will point the glue gun to the mirror for at least 15 minutes so that the adhesive will get stuck to the mirror back.
4- Pry the corner
Professionals will use the putty knife to glide it between the wall and the mirror at its bottom. They will pry the mirrors with the handles when the putty knife is actually in the place of the wall and the mirror. The mirrors will automatically come out of the wall.
