A new mirror, whether framed or frameless, can completely transform the design of a bathroom, making it more utilitarian as well as elegant. Because the mirror is where you wash your face, brush your teeth, do your hair, and check your cosmetics, it is an important component of the bath. It has an influence on the entire room when you make it a stunning feature. Are you planning to replace your bathroom mirror? Want some pointers on how to hang it properly?

A Few Points to Consider When Hanging a Bathroom Mirror

Here’s everything you will need to know about installing a new bathroom mirror

1. Heavy mirrors must be handled with caution.

The process of hanging a mirror is similar to that of hanging a huge picture frame or a large piece of art. Brackets or wires are required to support a huge, heavy piece of glass on the wall. If it is not framed, it could need special clips or adhesive to keep it in place.

2. You want to know what kind of wall you are dealing with.

Consider the sort of wall you have before purchasing mirror hanging hardware since this will influence how you hang your mirror. Is it drywall, plaster, or masonry that you are dealing with? Push a tiny tack into the wall if you are not sure. The tack will go in easily if it is drywall.

Similarly, deciding where you want to put your mirror on the wall hanging it over a stud is preferable, but not necessary if you use anchors. Keep an eye out for any utility connections and mark the stud’s center.

3. You are curious about the mirror’s weight.

To determine whether your hanging hardware is enough, you will need to know how much the mirror weighs. Weigh your mirror using a bathroom scale if you do not know how heavy it is. A weight restriction will almost certainly be indicated on your hanging gear.

How to Use Hooks to Hang a Framed Mirror

If you wish to hang your mirror using hooks, follow this step-by-step guide:

• Make a note of the location. Place your mirror (or have someone else place it) where you want it, then mark the center of the top edge with a pencil or painter’s tape.
• Look at the back of the book. Is there already a ring or wire installed on the back of your framed mirror for hanging? This will show you where you may put your hooks.
• Make a mark on the mirror and take measurements. Apply tape to a level and mark it with the spacing between the rings of your mirror, if applicable. Then, from the wire or rings to the top of the mirror, take a measurement.
• Make a mark on the wall. Mark the wall below the previous mark from the top center of your mirror with the amount you just measured.
