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 90” 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?

Clips would also be used along the top & possibly the sides in conjunction with a channel for optimal support. Clips come in many sizes & styles and not all are acceptable to put a frame over, but they can be easily replaced with our free MirrorChic replacement clips. Our frames install over the channel and mirror clips (as long as they have a low enough profile). How do I know if I need replacement clips? You may not need to replace the clips on your mirror (if you even have them).
