MirrorChic Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a frame on my bathroom mirror if it sits on the backsplash or is tight against a corner?
Yes, you can! All our frames mount directly onto your mirror so that space around your mirror is not needed.
Do I need special tools, or anything else to install a MirrorChic frame to my Mirror?
MirrorChic frames are easy to assemble and install without special tools. The only tools needed are a hammer and a level
(optional).
I have a very large mirror; will a MirrorChic frame fit?
We can custom cut a frame to the specifications you require. We consider any size frame up to 98 inches in length to be a
standard size. Mirrors exceeding 98 inches in length will require splicing of the frame in order to cover the full length, but this is
possible for most frames. Additional charges on large frames for splicing & shipping will apply. We suggest that you contact our
customer support to discuss your large frame needs.
What is splicing?
Splicing is what we do when a frame is longer than our available frame material. Splicing is normally required on frames over
104” in length. We splice two pieces together to reach the total length needed. Sometimes splicing a frame may also be required
in order to reduce shipping cost, since shipping a frame over 100” in length can be more expensive than the cost of the frame
itself.
My mirror has beveled edges, can I still use a MirrorChic frame?
As long as the bevel on your mirror is less than 1" wide, our frames will work. There must be a flat, un-beveled part of the mirror
in order for the frame to adhere properly. Because your new frame will adhere to your mirror, you will lose the bevel, but gain
style and elegance. If you have a bevel please avoid frames less than 3" in width. Please inform us on your order when your
mirror is beveled.
I have large plastic clips holding my mirror in place; can I still put a frame around it?
You can still add a frame but the large plastic clips will need to be replaced with low-profile clips before putting a frame on your
mirror. This is not a problem, just let us know when ordering and we will send you replacement metal clips at no charge.
Will the mirrors edge be visible after the frame is installed?
Once our frame is installed, the edge of the mirror will not be visible. Our typical frames have a 3/8 inch overhang on all sides for
a cleaner, more refined look. If you have zero clearance on a side, the frame will be flush with that edge of the mirror.
What are MirrorChic frames made from?
All MirrorChic frames are made of either wood or MDF (medium density fiberboard) material for quality & longevity. MDF is a
type of hardboard, which is made from wood fibers glued together with heat and pressure. Because it is dense, flat, stiff, has no
knots, is easily machined, can be cut, drilled, machined and filed without damaging the surface, it is a perfect choice for
producing mouldings. MDF is made from recycled wood fibers and resin, which also makes it a Greener choice as well!
How do MirrorChic frames attach to my mirror?
MirrorChic frames come backed with double-sided professional grade 3M adhesive tape, which once the backing is removed will
adhere your new frame directly to your mirror.
My mirror rests on the backsplash, is that a problem?
Resting on the backsplash is not a problem for MirrorChic frames, just be sure to let us know when you order.
