How to Install a Frameless Oval Mirror

Installing a frameless oval mirror can add elegance and sophistication to any room in your home. However, it's important to do it correctly to ensure that the mirror is secure and looks its best. Here are the essential aspects of installing a frameless oval mirror:

Preparation

Before you begin, you'll need to gather the following supplies: a level, a tape measure, a pencil, a drill, screws, anchors, and a mirror adhesive kit. You'll also need to clean the surface where you plan to install the mirror with a glass cleaner.

Measuring and Marking

Use the tape measure and level to determine the height and width of the mirror. Mark the center of the mirror on the wall with a pencil. Then, use the level to draw a horizontal line across the wall at the center point.

Drilling and Anchoring

Drill pilot holes into the wall at the center point and each corner of the mirror. If you're installing the mirror on a drywall surface, use anchors to ensure that the screws hold securely. Insert the screws into the pilot holes and tighten them until the mirror is snug against the wall.

Applying the Adhesive

Apply a bead of mirror adhesive around the perimeter of the back of the mirror. Press the mirror against the wall, aligning it with the horizontal line you drew earlier. Hold the mirror in place for a few minutes to allow the adhesive to set.

Finishing Touches

Once the adhesive has set, you can remove any excess adhesive with a damp cloth. Use a mirror cleaner to clean the surface of the mirror and remove any fingerprints or smudges.
