How to Install Mirrors

How to Install Mirrors (Simple Guide)

Mirrors are heavier than they look — and must be installed safely.


1. Choose the Mounting Method

Options:

  • Mirror clips

  • Adhesive

  • J-channel

  • Brackets

Adhesive must be mirror-safe.


2. Mark the Position

Use a laser or level.
Check the height is correct.


3. Install Clips or Channel (If Using Hardware)

Fix securely into:

  • Studs

  • Masonry

  • Solid backing


4. Apply Mirror Adhesive

Use vertical beads.
Never use general silicone — it damages the backing.


5. Lift the Mirror Into Place

Use suction cups for safety.


6. Support Until Set

Hold in place for 24 hours.
