A mirror is an integral part of almost any room, especially the hallway and bathroom. At the same time, it performs several functions:

• visual expansion of space;
• decorative;
• practical.

• in the hallway it is better to hang a larger mirror that reflects you in full height;
• position the light so that it falls on the person and not on the mirror;
• the mirror should hang straight so as not to distort the image;
• the mirror frame should reflect general style premises;
• if you want to increase the space, then make a mirror on the entire wall.

Mirror shapes:

• wavy;
• oval;
• rectangular;
• round, etc.

How to hang a mirror on the wall

The question of mounting a mirror on the wall in the bathroom or hallway is quite problematic, since each person has different financial capabilities and perception of this product.

The best option is to prepare the space for the mirror in advance. In the bathroom it simply doesn’t need to be tiled. However, it will be here only until the next renovation.

If the repair has already been done, then hanging the mirror with glue is not advisable. In this case, it is necessary to drill the wall and tiles.

Installing a mirror on the wall in the bathroom

There is no need to be afraid that the tiles will crack when drilling holes. If it is properly glued and made of high-quality material, then nothing will happen to it.

Progress:

• initially select a location;
• then use a level to mark a line;
• make holes in this area;
• the number of holes will depend on the number of fasteners on the mirror, its weight and width.

How to fix a heavy mirror on a plasterboard, brick and concrete wall

Tools you may need:

• anchor;
• hammer;
• screws and dowels;
• drill.

Progress:

• first, using a glass drill and a screwdriver, you should make holes in the tiles;
• then use a drill to drill into the wall underneath it;
• dowels are inserted into the holes and screws are screwed in;
• then we hang the mirror on which there are fasteners.

How to attach a mirror that does not have fasteners to the wall

To install such a product, you need to drill holes in it and purchase fasteners from a specialized store. However, such work requires “jewelry” skill, since a mirror is a rather fragile thing. Most optimal solution- give it to glaziers who know how to do it. If you have a little experience, then you can install a mirror on the wall yourself.

In order to attach a product that does not have fasteners, diamond drills are used. To prevent it from cracking, it should be cooled during drilling. At home, you can use “plasticine baths” that are filled with water and fixed in place of the future hole. You need to drill very carefully, regularly checking the presence of water in the “bath”. If necessary, liquid is added. In this case, experts advise interrupting drilling and dripping onto work surface turpentine, and then continue activities. When everything is ready, the holes should be rounded using sandpaper. Here you also need to be careful and take your time so as not to overheat the glass.

Having created a hole of a certain diameter, screw fasteners to it and decorative plug. And in order for the mirror to hang firmly on the wall, you can additionally glue it with double-sided tape.

How to attach a mirror to a bathroom wall between tiles

• Initially, you should leave space for the mirror and not tile it;
• if the product is quite light and the wall is smooth, then we fasten it using liquid nails, and treat the joints with sealant;
• if the tile was glued to thick layer building material, the mirror can accordingly deepen. If you do not want this effect to occur, then attach a metal profile to the wall and place moisture-resistant drywall on it. Next, fix the product with liquid nails and fasteners (it is better to use a butterfly dowel);
• Some people attach the mirror to cement or a layer of tile adhesive, but in this case it must be covered with a protective layer.

Installing a mirror on a plasterboard wall

• Do not use regular nails to attach anything to drywall;
• for mounting objects up to 20 kg, it is better to use butterfly dowels;
• in the event that the product weighs more than 20 kg, plasterboard with external or inside hemmed with plywood or another sheet of the same material.

How to install a mirror on a wall in a bathroom with PVC panels

If there are PVC panels in the bathroom, then the area for the mirror is planned in advance.

• In a specially designated place for the mirror, sheathing elements are installed, onto which installation will be carried out using anchors, dowels, etc.
• A fairly light product can be attached to PVC using mounting tape or liquid nails;
• if there is not a very large space between the panels and the wall, then you can drill to the wall;
• The best option is to purchase a ready-made cabinet with a mirror and sink.

How to glue a mirror to a wall

If your mirror is light enough, you can glue it to tiles using double-sided tape or special sealant. However best option is a combination of two methods: several tapes are glued to the center, parallel to each other, and the glue is distributed around the perimeter. Next, the product is fixed to the wall.

• the mirror must be leveled immediately, since the sealant and strips of tape are attached instantly;
• Before starting work, make markings using a level;
• for the bathroom, purchase special moisture-resistant tape and liquid nails for mirrors;
• the tiles in the bathroom must be pre-cleaned;
• distribute the adhesive composition at intervals of 5-7 cm;
• It is not recommended to apply glue to the corners, as it may come out when pressing the mirror;
• The product should be pressed for at least 10 minutes;
• When attaching a heavy and large mirror to the wall, use special supports during the day.

Modern methods of mounting mirrors

Today on the construction market you can find special brackets for attaching mirrors, which are straight and side, as well as chrome, wood and transparent. Consider the option of fastening with straight brackets:

• Initially, you should make a mark on the bottom line of fastening the staples;
• then the mirror is inserted into the brackets;
• after which the staples are fixed from above.

Thus, the product is clamped and tightly located in the brackets.

There are also special systems made from aluminum profiles, fishing lines, fasteners, etc. for hanging mirrors. However, this option is suitable for a home in which a technical and ultra-modern urban style predominates.

How to hang a mirror video:

Where do we typically use mirrors? Bathrooms, showers, toilets, dressing rooms or bedrooms. Yes, exactly there, only modern designer uses mirrors more and more often wall panels, when cladding columns, on the doors of sliding wardrobes and everywhere where the mirror surface will be useful and not harmful. Buying mirror, the installer is faced with a pressing and quite serious problem: “How to install a mirror on the wall?” There are several methods, and the most common of them is installation mirrors using fastening fittings and mounting the mirror using glue. Today we will look at the last method, and you will find out what materials are required for gluing mirrors oh, and how to do it correctly.

First of all, in order to install mirror, you need to cut it to size. Usually, our clients order end processing mirrors polishing or bevelling, including preliminary cutting of the canvas to the required dimensions. But if you happen to buy mirror without edge processing, and its area and shape are larger than necessary, then the canvas must be cut to size. For example, you need to glue a mirror into a bathroom niche, and its area is larger than this niche.

1. Place the mirror with the amalgam side up and mark the cut lines.
2. Wet the amalgam along the cut line with water or vinegar solution.
3. Apply the rule and run chalk over the amalgam.
4. After this, take a needle and cut through the amalgam exactly along the cut line.
5. Turn the mirror over and use a glass cutter to draw a cut line symmetrical to the cut line on the amalgam.
6. Tap the cut line with the metal part of the glass cutter and, noticing a chip in this line, break off the excess part.
7. Dry the amalgam with a hairdryer.

The mirror is ready for gluing. Now we begin to prepare the wall surface.

Bonding surface mirrors should be smooth. If the size of your mirror is 1200 on one side, then gluing it to uneven wall can play a cruel joke. The mirror will take the shape of the wall, as it tends to bend. One or two millimeters is enough for you to find yourself in the kingdom of curves mirrors. This will be fun at first, because when you squat in front of the mirror, your body proportions will change. But the fun disappears when you have to dismantle mirrors, which is only possible by destroying the canvas.

To stick mirror Correctly, to avoid such an unpleasant factor, you need to choose glass of greater thickness or bring the wall surface into an ideal plane.

The base surface material varies. Concrete and ceramic tiles are considered the best. If you stick mirror to DPS, plywood, OSB board or fiberboard, then mirror may fall off due to changes in humidity in the room. In this case, fastening fittings are used.

Preparing walls for gluing mirrors.

The wall surface is treated with primers deep penetration Ceresit CT 17 or oil paint MA-15. This is required to bond sand dust to the base surface and to prevent moisture from entering the thickness of the wall, and, as a result, the growth of mold and bacteria. In addition to the walls, the surface is also cleaned of dirt. mirrors. Dust, dirt and any organic contaminants will prevent the adhesive from adhering to the amalgam, which can lead to the amalgam coming off the wall.

Gluing a mirror to the wall.

To stick mirror special Belgian glue from Soudal is used on the wall. It's called Mir-o-bond. But without so much quality material, you can use liquid nails from any manufacturer. VipGlass specialists use only glue famous manufacturers, since the main priority of our activities is quality. The glue takes two hours to set, so that the installer does not have to hold it for two hours mirror, use double-sided tape. Double-sided tape is glued to the amalgam vertical stripes at a distance of 10 -14 mm from each other. Glue is applied between them in pyramids with a diameter of 2.5 - 3.5 cm. The distance between the pyramids ranges from 15 to 20 cm. With adhesive tape and glue applied mirror apply it to the wall and remove it. The adhesive tape has the function of adhering the mirror to the surface during the period of adhesion and hardening of the glue. After this, remove the protective tape from the tape and make the final installation of the mirror on the wall. While the glue sets, the double-sided tape will hold the glass in place.

To carry out installation mirrors You need to use suction cups on the wall to install mirrors.

After gluing, mirror do not touch for six hours.

Good luck with your repair, and remember the gluing instructions mirrors written for private use only.

VipGlass, mirror gluing, 2012.

A mirror is a must-have attribute in every home. This is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a decorative element. Sometimes it becomes necessary to attach a new mirror to the wall yourself. Properly executed fastening will not only protect an expensive item from damage, but will also make appearance places of fixation as elegant and beautiful as possible. As a result, the interior will not be spoiled and the appearance of the mirror itself will be impeccable.

Methods for attaching mirrors to the wall

In order for a mirror attached to a wall or cabinet door to be securely fixed, you should decide on the method of its installation. There are several of them, and to choose the most suitable one you need to consider the following:

1. The nature of the surface on which the canvas will be attached. How easy it is to drill holes or drive dowels in it.
2. Product size. At large area Some fasteners can deform the mirror and cause cracks to appear.
3. Presence of frame. In this case, you can use glue or double-sided tape, although not in all cases.
4. Possibility of dismantling the mirror later. Eliminated when using glue.
5. Desired appearance. Few people want to see protruding hooks or other details.

Considering the above, it is easy to choose one of the mounting methods:

• dowels, nails;
• special holders;
• glue;
• Double-sided tape.

Now, thanks to the development of the chemical industry, there is big choice Enough reliable adhesives. They will cope with the task perfectly and will firmly hold the glass product on the wall. There is also a good selection of mechanical fasteners.

Wall mounting without drilling

Fastening will be simple and reliable using special holders. They do not require drilling of the mirror. The choice of this accessories in stores is very large and allows you to choose holders for every taste. Installation is done as follows:

1. Attach the mirror to the wall, mark the mounting points. You need at least six (2 each from the bottom, left and right).
2. Drill holes and install dowels in them.
3. Place the selected holders onto the screws.
4. Screw the screws into place.
5. Insert the product from above.

A mirror installed in this way will not be drilled, which eliminates the associated risks.

How to hang a mount on dowels

Using dowels, hanging a mirror will be a more time-consuming and problematic task. This is due to the need to drill holes in it. Without the proper skills and special tool the product may be damaged. For fastening with dowels you need:

1. Take care of the holes in the canvas itself. It is better to order this service from professionals.
2. Make marks on the wall at the mounting points. To do this, attach the mirror to the surface and mark the desired places.
3. Drill into the wall at the marked points.
4. Insert the dowel bushings into the holes.
5. Attach the mirror and screw in the screws, having previously installed the clamping parts on them.
6. The last step: check the strength of the installation, and cover the screw heads with special caps.

ATTENTION! When making such fastening you need to be careful, especially with marking the places for the dowels. The mirror should be clearly in the desired position.

How to hang a mirror without nails

The main means for such fastening are special double-sided tape and glue. In addition to aesthetic purposes, this method will be preferable if the wall is made of fragile material, for example, plasterboard or foam block. Such a surface is not capable of supporting the heavy weight of the mirror on the dowels.

This operation is performed as follows:

1. Prepare the wall. The surface must be flat and smooth. Prime if necessary.
2. Degrease the surfaces to be bonded.
3. Apply glue to the decorative item or stick it with tape. You should be careful with the glue near the edge - if it squeezes out beyond the border, it can ruin the appearance.
4. Press the product against the wall. If glue is used, you will need to install the supports and hold them for a while.

ATTENTION! The choice of glue or tape must be taken seriously. Any means will not work; you will need special ones designed for this. You can find suitable tape or glue at your local hardware store.

How to attach a mirror without a frame

Depending on the wall surface, there are several options for attaching the product without a frame. The simplest is using glue or double-sided tape. This method is perfect if the wall does not hold nails very well, for example, made of foam block or drywall.

Another option is to use a decorative profile or special holders. This fitting is securely fixed with dowels or self-tapping screws. First, the lower parts into which the canvas is installed are attached.

How to mount a large mirror on the wall

Mirror large sizes will look good in many interiors. But fixing it is not an easy task and requires a professional approach. If you decide to install it yourself, you should pay attention to the following things:

1. Be sure to make sure that the wall is perfectly level. Otherwise, the mirror will not last long.
2. Choose quality glue or tape. If the canvas is heavy, add an additional fastening at the bottom in the form of a profile.
3. Apply glue according to instructions. After installation, secure the canvas with supports and keep it there for several days.

Having a large mirror in the house can be dangerous - it is more likely to break. As a precaution, it is advisable to cover it with a special film, especially if there are children. This step will prevent the possibility of scattering fragments.

Features of mounting on walls made of different materials

The properties of some materials will not allow you to securely hang a mirror on them. For example, drywall has a very fragile structure; adhesive fastening methods are preferable for it. If there is a need to use dowels, it is better to use butterfly dowels specially designed for this.

You can attach a mirror to concrete in any way. Before working with glue or tape, the surface must be prepared - coated with a primer. Another feature of this material is strength. It is more difficult to make a recess for fastening in it than in others. For this you will need a hammer drill.

Hanging a mirror sheet on PVC panels, which are often used to decorate toilets, is quite problematic. Silicone glue will help here. Drilling holes in polyvinyl chloride would be a bad idea - it won’t be very reliable.

To avoid problems with this task, you need to take into account not only the characteristics of the wall material, but also the size of the mirror and the selected fittings.

On a brick base

Before work, you need to prepare the surface. To do this, it is cleaned and coated with a primer. Mounting on brick surface could be anything.

If glue is chosen, you need to remember that once installed, the canvas cannot be removed. Therefore, you need to work with extreme caution. Use glue according to the instructions, without spreading it over the entire surface of the decorative element.

The most in a simple way fastening is double-sided tape. To use it, just degrease the surface, stick it in strips at intervals of up to 8 cm, remove protective film and press the product to the surface.

Other ways to hang canvas brick base carried out in the same way as on other surfaces.

On the tiles in the bathroom

When working with tiles, gluing the product is the best choice. The glue you need to choose is as moisture resistant as possible. Silicone sealant well suited for these purposes. It is also resistant to temperature changes. When fixing the product in the bathroom, it is a good idea to remove the tiles in the mounting area. Perfect option– foresee in advance and do not cover the location of the future mirror. There is no need to remove the tiles at all. Well-chosen glue and thorough cleaning of surfaces from grease and dirt will make the connection quite reliable.

Hardware and other holders will also cope well with the task. It is advisable to try to choose the size of the product so that you can install them in the joints between the tiles.

On drywall

Products with a large weight (from 10 kg) plasterboard wall It's better not to hang it. Drywall is a very fragile and unreliable thing. Best choice When installing the mirror you will need glue and double-sided tape.

If in the future you foresee the need to dismantle the product (this is impossible with glue), you can use butterfly dowel fastenings.

For wallpaper Hanging canvas on wallpaper using glue or double-sided tape is not a good idea. This method is possible only if the product weighs no more than two kg, but even in this case the use of these means is not advisable. It's better to use any mechanical fastenings

(holders, decorative strips). The task of hanging a mirror yourself, although difficult, is doable. Before you start, you need to prepare thoroughly. Get the right tool

, carry out measurements and calculations. If you treat it with due attention and patience, everything will work out. It's hard to imagine a house without mirrors. They decorate the room and visually expand the space. Mirrors are used in their work professional designers

and with their help create an intricate play of light and shadow.

Choosing a suitable mirror for your home is not difficult; it all depends on personal preferences, but installing it may pose some difficulties. In this article we will talk about how to hang a mirror without a frame on the wall, and we will describe in detail three DIY installation methods.

Three installation methods

At first glance, all decorative wall mirrors seem the same. Of course, if the differences are in form, but this is already the work of a master, but in essence it is all the same material. This is not actually the case, and mirrors differ from each other in several ways. We deliberately started our article with this, because before you buy and hang a mirror on the wall, you need to know about its characteristics. For different rooms

it is necessary to use different mirrors, and their first and main difference is the thickness of the sheet.

The thinnest mirror can be only 4 millimeters thick. This is a very fragile product that needs to be handled with extreme care. Any awkward movement and your mirror will crack or even break completely.

The weight also depends on the thickness, and naturally, installing a heavy mirror on a wall is a much more complicated process and not every wall will withstand it.

Cheaper models are made using aluminum amalgam. No, we cannot say that these mirrors are bad or of poor quality. Aluminum will last for many years, and it does not tarnish, but these mirrors have one significant drawback– when the temperature changes, they fog up. This can often be observed in the bathroom when the mirror becomes covered with perspiration as soon as you turn on the hot water.

To prevent this from happening, a decorative wall mirror should be made with silver amalgam. Such mirrors are more expensive, but condensation does not form on them, and this is very convenient. On the other hand, a mirror on the wall in the living room does not need such qualities, and there is simply no point in taking such an expensive option.

So, we have figured out the characteristics of mirrors and we can move directly to the question of how to hang a mirror on the wall.

Method one: glue

The simplest, fastest and at the same time reliable way fastenings Even a large mirror on the wall will stick perfectly to adhesive based and will not sag over time. Special glue for mirrors is sold in tubes and has a consistency similar to the well-known liquid nails.

Important! Installation of a mirror on a wall is carried out only with the help of special mirror glue. It is not known for certain how manufacturers make it, and how it differs from liquid nails, but experience shows that only it is capable of providing high-quality fastening.

In order to fix the mirror, simply apply glue to the amalgam and press it against the wall for a few minutes. The glue sets time is 3-5 minutes, so no problems should arise. Unfortunately, despite the simplicity of this method, it cannot always be used.

There are a number of limitations and subtleties that you need to be aware of when choosing a method for mounting your mirror:

• To attach a mirror with glue, the wall must be perfectly flat.. If there are differences and defects on the wall, the glass will be under constant tension and sooner or later it will simply burst from the slightest unfortunate touch.
• The glue has excellent adhesion to mineral surfaces , but does not interact at all with the glossy surface of ceramic tiles, so this method is not suitable for attaching mirrors, for example, in the bathroom or kitchen.
• High humidity and frequent temperature changes are also limitations for the use of glue. Over time, they will destroy its structure, and the mirror will begin to move away from the wall, and it’s good if you manage to detect this in time.
• A mirror glued to glue can no longer be removed without damage.. To be more precise, the only way to dismantle it is to split it, so think carefully before you get to work; you won’t be able to re-weigh it.
• Before installing the mirror on the wall, make a complete marking, guided by the level. The glue will set quite quickly and you won't have time to adjust the placement. The mirror should be glued only according to the pre-applied markings.

As you can see, there are quite a few restrictions, but if the place where you are going to hang the mirror meets all the listed requirements, consider yourself very lucky and you will complete the installation quickly and without much effort.

Method two: tape

Popular wisdom says: if something cannot be secured with tape, it is better not to start working at all. There is some truth in this. Scotch tape is a brilliant invention, and double-sided tape is a miracle.

Mirrors can also be glued using double-sided tape, and unlike glue method installation, this option has a number of advantages:

• The mirror can be easily removed and repositioned at any time. Modern adhesive tape can be easily peeled off if necessary and does not even leave marks on the surface.
• The curvature of the walls when installing with adhesive tape is not important, you just should not try to press the canvas if it does not reach the adhesive tape. Better use an additional mount.
• Scotch tape does not lose its qualities under the influence of moisture and high temperatures.

Unfortunately, this method of fastening is not ideal either. Scotch tape, like glue, cannot be used on tiles, and from a low-quality mirror it can tear off part of the amalgam during dismantling.

Also, you should not hang large mirrors on the wall using tape, since it does not have a very high endurance rating and under heavy load, the mirror can simply slide off the mount.

Advice! Do not use regular rolled tape for fastening; it is very difficult to remove. Today there is a special fastening material based on double-sided tape, which uses special technology safe removal. The price of such fasteners will be higher, but you do not risk damaging the mirror during dismantling.

Method three: dowels

The most difficult and labor-intensive method, which will require from you not only the ability to handle power tools, but also increased accuracy. This is the only way to attach a mirror to tiles and can be used on uneven surfaces.

Mirror fasteners have a special design and consist of several components:

1. Plastic sleeve. It gets hammered into walls and expands when a screw is driven into it.
2. The screw itself.
3. Clamping element. Screws onto a screw and has external thread for fixing a decorative plug.
4. Decorative plug. Made from chrome or nickel plated metal.

To mount it on dowels, you will need to drill holes in the mirror. It is very difficult to do this without damaging the product, so it is better to contact specialists.

If you order figured mirrors for the wall, then immediately clarify this point. You can, of course, drill them yourself, but this requires experience and knowledge of the intricacies of the process.

Glass is being drilled special drill with diamond coating. This process is long and complex, so instead of going into lengthy descriptions, we recommend that you watch the video in this article, which shows instructions for working with mirrors.

Today you can find a huge range of mirror fasteners. Each of them is designed for different materials, from which the walls are built.

For example, brick fasteners cannot be used on plasterboard partitions(see Cladding walls with plasterboard: we do it sequentially), since special dowels called “butterflies” have been developed for them. The butterflies do not just unclench inside the wall, they press the dowel from the inside, due to which the load on the partition is significantly reduced.

Advice! Before you hang large mirror on the wall, make sure it does not reach the floor. The ideal distance to the bottom is 10 centimeters. This will protect the mirror from accidental impacts during cleaning.

And in conclusion

As you can see, there are not so few mounting methods, and which one to choose depends on many factors. The main difficulty will be mounting in the bathroom, since the environment there is traditionally aggressive, so you will have to work with a hammer drill.

And finally important advice: in the nursery or bedroom, use only special safe mirrors on the wall. They do not split into small pieces, but only become covered with cracks. Of course, they cost a little more, but when it comes to safety, it is better to put aside considerations of savings.

Absolutely any room, be it a hallway or a bathroom, needs a mirror. However, when purchasing a separate reflective plane, problems with its installation often arise.

How to glue a mirror to a mirror, wooden surfaces, ceramic tiles, other materials? Numerous masters ask similar questions. If it is absolutely necessary to fix the plane of the product on a vertical surface, the following will help: practical advice and recommendations.

How to glue a mirror to a mirror?

To accomplish the task, it is enough to use polymer-based glue. Such effective one-component bases as “Instatic” and “Titan” are distinguished by their elasticity, resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Therefore, when wondering how to glue a mirror to a mirror, preference should be given to this option.

Polymer adhesives allow you to reliably connect surfaces of the same type and those that differ in structure without additional reinforcement. The result is the formation of a transparent, almost invisible layer.

The use of a polymer base will solve not only the problem of how to glue a mirror to a mirror, but, if necessary, will help to connect heavy metal and stone planes, polystyrene plates, ceramic parts or glass. Polymer glue protrudes universal solution for performing numerous tasks in construction and renovation.

How to glue a mirror to a wall?

The vertical surface must be carefully prepared for work, so first, all existing irregularities are first cleaned and the recesses are puttied.

Craftsmen who have more than once had to look for an answer to the question of how to glue a mirror to a wall recommend using special Bostik 2750MS glue for this. The substance is different high performance adhesion to brick, natural stone, wood, metal and plastic. Even after several years after installation, the product does not corrode the mirror amalgam.

To ensure reliable adhesion of the glue, some kind of support must be placed under the plane being installed. In this case, the mirror should be carefully pressed against the wall with your hands. Hardening of the adhesive composition, sufficient to hold the structure, occurs after 20-30 minutes, and complete setting occurs after several days.

How to “mount” a mirror on a cabinet door?

Such a solution allows you to revive old furniture and update the interior. To reliably connect surfaces, it is better to select a small mirror.

First, you should determine the installation location by marking the appropriate boundaries with a pencil and ruler. The mirror is fixed to the surface using double-sided tape, which is placed around its perimeter. Next, glue is applied, which can serve as the same polymer base. After setting, the safety layer of tape is removed.

How to glue a mirror to the windshield?

The answer to this question is quite simple. A special solution allows you to glue a mirror to the windshield. Only such a solution will neutralize the effect of aggressive environment and dampen mechanical vibrations during vehicle movement.

How to glue To do this, you must first place the car in a dry place, protected from direct sun rays room. The optimal temperature for effectively joining surfaces is in the range from 18 to 20 o C. Before gluing the mirror, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and wipe dry both surfaces.

In order for the connection of the mirror to the surfaces to give the expected result, several rules should be followed:

1. You need to use only one type of glue, without resorting to experiments with combining separate compounds.
2. It is extremely important to use an adhesive base with a valid expiration date. When placing a mirror on an expired substance, you should not expect it to be securely fixed.
3. Before starting work, you need to make sure that the available volume of glue is sufficient for its successful completion.
4. For several days, try not to touch the mirror again.
5. Before performing the task, it is recommended to clean the surfaces, eliminating unevenness, removing dirt and remnants of old glue.
6. If the seal in the form of double-sided tape comes off during installation, it is enough to temporarily strengthen the surfaces with superglue.
7. For safety reasons, it is better to secure a product with impressive dimensions. mechanically, by building a reliable stand or placing the item on small, inconspicuous fasteners.

Finally

A mirror is an extremely fragile and expensive item. Therefore, it should be glued exclusively with high-quality and proven glue. In this case, it is necessary to follow the instructions indicated on the packaging and strictly follow the application technology. Only in this case is truly reliable and durable adhesion of surfaces guaranteed.

Based on the above tips, you can turn what would seem to be difficult task by connecting the mirror to various materials for simple fun. The procedure may take up a lot of free time, but will solve the problem for a long time.
