You may not need your bathroom mirror to do your makeup in the morning or to shave, but you surely see yourself in it frequently. Seeing ourselves provides an extra level of orientation. It\u2019s only when your mirror breaks or cracks that you realize how much you miss that sense of grounding each time you walk into the bathroom. Well, if your bathroom mirror is cracked or broken, it\u2019s time to replace it. How do you replace a bathroom mirror? Let\u2019s take a look at the steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decide How to Hang It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step when you want to replace a bathroom mirror is deciding how you want it to be hung. There are many ways to hang a mirror and many mirror styles to choose from. Here are the most popular ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Clipped Mirrors<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>These mirrors are frameless. You\u2019ll see, usually, 4 clips holding it to the wall. These clips are usually pretty small and made of metal or clear plastic. Typically, they hold the mirror in place with 2 on top and 2 on bottom.<\/li><li><strong>Framed Mirrors<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Framed mirrors are more like pictures in the way they\u2019re hung. The pane of mirror is held in a frame like the glass in a picture frame. There is usually a wire or some sawtooth hangers that will grip the heads of nails or screws.<\/li><li><strong>Frameless and Clipless Mirrors<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>These mirrors are frameless, just like those using clips. However, they use no clips to hold them up, having a sleek, frameless appearance when installed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019ve decided which style you like best, it\u2019s time to buy the appropriate mirror. Today we\u2019ll be discussing how to install a clipped mirror. Otherwise, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keystonehomeproducts.com\/how-to-install-a-clipless-frameless-mirror-part-1\/\">our guide on clipless mirror installation<\/a>, or check back next month for a guide on framed mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy a New Mirror<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you know what kind of mirror you\u2019re looking for, it\u2019s time to buy one! Luckily, for those living in or around Toronto, Keystone Home Products offers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keystonehomeproducts.com\/glass-mirror\/\">quality mirrors<\/a> for vanities and other locations. Our mirrors are frameless, though they can have a frame added to them very easily. We also offer mirrors of many different sizes, so give us a call if you\u2019d like to order one or check our size limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare the Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to hanging a clipped mirror is preparing the wall. If there are old mirror clips that won\u2019t fit the size of the new mirror, remove them with a screwdriver. You\u2019ll also want to fill in any holes in the wall before installing the new mirror. That way, you don\u2019t have to work around the new setup to fill them later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on painting your bathroom walls, now is also a great time to get that out of the way. If you weren\u2019t planning to, maybe reconsider. A fresh coat of paint in an accent color can make the vanity wall a great focus wall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picking a Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have your frameless mirror and your wall is prepared, the first step is checking where you want to place the mirror. For mirrors that are larger than 2 feet in either direction, it\u2019s recommended that you get some help. Hold the mirror up to the wall. Move it gently up or down the wall until it\u2019s about where you want it. Then, use a pencil (or chalk, for dark walls) to create a line on the wall where the top and bottom of the mirror are. It\u2019s okay if they\u2019re not exact, as long as you know where the edges were. To replace a bathroom mirror in a way that looks nice, you have a lot of measuring and marking to do, so buckle up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Height Markings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll want to use a level alongside a ruler, yardstick, or meter stick, depending on what you have and how big the mirror is. Another straight edge will also work. It just needs to be perfectly straight. This will be used to get a more accurate line for where the bottom of the mirror will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019ve got your straight-edge, hold it up to the wall horizontally. Line up the upper edge with where you marked the bottom of the mirror\u2019s desired location. Place or hold the level on top of the straight edge and adjust it until it\u2019s level. Then, create a line with your pencil along the straight edge, either all the way across or, to minimize later erasing, in lines a few inches long about where the clips will be going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keystonehomeproducts.com\/how-to-replace-a-bathroom-mirror-part-2\/\">How to Replace a Bathroom Mirror: Part 2<\/a><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People use bathroom mirrors a lot more than they realize.
