How to Hang a Frameless Mirror by Yourself?

Frameless mirrors are very popular not only among minimalists. This solution allows the bathroom mirror to be hung in virtually any room. This means that when you change the arrangement of the bathroom, you can use the mirror hanging there in any other place, and it will definitely look good there. The only problem may be how to hang a frameless mirror by yourself since it is usually in the frame that the appropriate brackets for mounting it on the wall can be found.

Hang a Bathroom Mirror Without a Frame on Your Own

Mounting a frameless mirror does not have to cause many problems, nor does it need to mean drilling holes in the wall. Thanks to this, it can be hung directly, for example, on the ceramic tiles decorating the wall of the room. There are several different ways to attach mirrors to the wall; which one you choose mainly depends on the size, and consequently, the weight of the mirror.

The simplest solution, but also not very durable, is adhesive stickers with a mirrored surface. You just need to clean the wall of dust, and you can start attaching lightweight mirrored stickers to the surface of the tiles. However, we much more often opt for traditional, glass mirrors without a frame. If you want to avoid drilling holes in the wall with a pneumatic hammer, use our tips. We have several ideas on how to securely and quickly mount wall mirrors without a professional's help.

Positioning the Mirror in the Bathroom

The first step must be deciding where to hang the new frameless mirror. Next, you should take precise measurements and ensure that the mirror fits there without any problem. A significant advantage of frameless mirrors is that they can be ordered in any size, and they can take various shapes. This way, you can organize an awkward nook or a piece of wall at an angle.

If you already know where you want to hang the frameless mirror, now you need to position it correctly. If it will be a mirror above the sink, it should hang no lower than 20 cm from the edge of the sink. On the other hand, a large frameless mirror is best hung so that its bottom edge is at least 1.2 m from the floor. The upper edge should not exceed the upper edge of the frame. This will give the room the appropriate proportions.

How to Mount Frameless Mirrors?

The simplest way to mount a mirror is by using wall brackets, but since we are excluding drilling, let's reach for other solutions. A good idea would be to use mounting adhesive, which should be evenly spread over the back surface of the mirror. Make sure that the glue is suitable for hanging mirrors—it should be thick, strong, and quick-drying. Just press the mirror to the wall and wait a moment. It is worth remembering that when applying glue to the mirror, it should not be applied close to the edges; otherwise, it may overflow when pressing the mirror against the wall, creating unsightly streaks.

Another method, although not very popular, is using mounting tapes. Double-sided tape can be used in rooms susceptible to high humidity, and it is definitely easier to remove than when using adhesive. The tape is applied to the back of the mirror and then the mirror is pressed against the wall. Quick and clean, and tape manufacturers claim that they can hold a weight of up to 6 kg. This allows you to mount an average-sized simple mirror in the bathroom.

An interesting method for hanging a mirror without drilling is self-adhesive screws. This modern alternative is becoming increasingly popular. Depending on the selected type of screw, strips or adhesive mass will be used as mounting elements. Screws are a great way to hang a mirror non-invasively. All the mentioned methods will work not only in the bathroom; this way, you can hang a frameless mirror in the bedroom, hallway, and any other room in the house. How to decorate a bathroom mirror?
