\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Installing a mirror can be a fun DIY project. It\u2019s just slightly challenging, but easy enough that most could do it. That is, supposing they\u2019re not accident prone. If you\u2019re looking to install a clipless, frameless mirror in your bathroom, we\u2019ve got the guide you need. Frameless, clipless mirrors have a fantastic, sleek appearance. They work really well with contemporary interiors, which are very common in bathrooms in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re here to learn about bathroom mirror installation, but need help with a different type, we\u2019ve got you covered. Check out our guides on framed mirror installation and bathroom mirror replacement<\/a>, which covers using clips. Please note that our guide on bathroom mirror replacement has a lot of great tips for mirror installation in general. Therefore, it may be referenced throughout this guide. We recommend reading part 1 of that guide if you plan on replacing, rather than installing on a new wall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying What You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need when you want to install a clipless, frameless bathroom mirror is to buy everything you need. There are 5 things you\u2019ll need for this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. A Mirror<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Keystone Home Products has a wide selection of frameless mirrors available to buy in Toronto. These mirrors are great for bathroom vanities, bedrooms, and more.<\/li>
  2. A Level<\/strong>
    If you\u2019ve got a bubble level lying around, it will be really useful in ensuring your mirror isn\u2019t tilted weirdly. If you don\u2019t have a level, you can probably do without. If you don\u2019t have a keen eye, try using math and a straight edge to make a pencil line above your vanity.<\/li>
  3. A Pencil<\/strong>
    You\u2019ll need a pencil for marking your wall. If you have dark paint, you can also substitute with chalk. You probably have one of these lying around at home.<\/li>
  4. Adhesive<\/strong>
    This adhesive is incredibly important, as it\u2019s going to be what holds your mirror up. Do some research to find one you like, or use
    Liquid Nails<\/a>, which is well known and easy to recommend. Don\u2019t choose an off-brand if you haven\u2019t used it before and are sure it works well. A weak adhesive can create quite a mess for you later.<\/li>
  5. A Friend<\/strong>
    While we don\u2019t recommend that you buy a friend, we do think texting one to ask for help is a good idea. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Picking a Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This first part is incredibly easy if you have the recommended level, pencil, and friend. You can use a ruler to do this by yourself, which we outlined in detail in our bathroom mirror replacement guide<\/a>. However, if you have someone who can put pressure on your mirror, holding it in place on the wall, there\u2019s an easier method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First, take note of how wide your mirror is compared to your vanity. Most people will want their mirror perfectly centered over the sink. Therefore, if it\u2019s wider, you need to know how much wider, and if it\u2019s narrower, how much narrower. Once you know the difference in width, divide that length in half and make a wall mark that distance from the edge of the vanity. This is where the sides of your mirror should sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next up is the part where we take some shortcuts from one-person replacement steps. Because you have a friend who can hold your mirror up, you have the free hands needed to just trace it. Center your mirror over the sink and then use the level to ensure it\u2019s not tilted. Next, use your pencil to draw an L shape around each corner, or trace the mirror entirely. It\u2019s entirely up to you. However, before you rule out tracing the entire mirror, just make sure you\u2019ve read the next section. The full trace may come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Important Note: <\/strong>Make sure, when tracing, to tilt your pencil so that the marking is as close as possible to the actual edge. The 1\/8 inch difference that the wood of the pencil can make is massive, by construction standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you\u2019ve finished marking where the mirror will go, your friend can give their arms a break. Set the mirror back where you had it sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
