WHY FRAME THE MIRROR?

The mirror may work. It just does not look finished.

Add A Frame is designed for homeowners who want to update a suitable wall-mounted mirror without starting a full mirror-replacement project.

UNFINISHED APPEARANCE

A plain mirror can leave the bathroom looking incomplete

Large wall-mounted mirrors are practical, but an exposed edge can make an otherwise updated bathroom still feel builder-basic.

VISIBLE EDGE DAMAGE

Small chips and worn edges draw attention

Minor damage near the perimeter can become the first thing you notice. A correctly sized frame can conceal suitable edge areas while giving the mirror a finished border.

EDGE DE-SILVERING

Darkened edges can make an otherwise usable mirror look old

Limited deterioration around the perimeter may be hidden beneath the frame. Mirrors with extensive damage, loose glass, or safety concerns should be replaced instead.

REPLACEMENT DISRUPTION

Replacing a large mirror can become a larger project

Removal may involve glass handling, wall repair, disposal, and installation of a new mirror. Framing suitable existing glass avoids many of those steps.

A made-to-order frame transforms the mirror already on your wall

Add A Frame is sized around the mirror dimensions and surrounding conditions you provide. For suitable wall-mounted mirrors, the frame installs over the perimeter of the existing glass to create a finished appearance without removing the mirror.

  • Made to fit the mirror dimensions you enter
  • Designed around reported clips and surrounding clearances

CHECK YOUR MIRROR

Not every existing mirror has the same installation conditions

Before selecting a frame, review the mirror’s mounting hardware, surrounding clearances, nearby fixtures, and overall condition. Accurate measurements help determine whether the mirror is suitable for Add A Frame.

MIRROR CLIPS

Clips must be identified before the frame is ordered

Surface-mounted clips may affect how the frame fits over the mirror. Record their locations, dimensions, and projection when measuring so compatibility can be evaluated before ordering.

SURROUNDING CLEARANCES

The frame needs sufficient space around every side

Measure the available clearance between the mirror and nearby walls, backsplashes, ceilings, trim, light fixtures, and other permanent surfaces. Tight conditions may limit which frame profiles will fit.

OUTLETS AND SWITCHES

Electrical devices can affect the available frame area

An outlet, switch, or electrical cover that overlaps the intended frame location may require a narrower frame or another solution. Electrical components should not be covered or modified without appropriate professional guidance.

MIRROR CONDITION

The existing mirror must remain secure and suitable for framing

The glass should be firmly mounted and structurally sound. Extensive damage, loose glass, severe deterioration, or other safety concerns should be evaluated before deciding to frame the mirror.

When a condition is unclear, photograph the mirror and surrounding area before ordering so the available framing options can be reviewed.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

The same mirror can look completely different with a finished frame

Compare suitable existing bathroom mirrors before and after adding a made-to-order frame. The glass remains in place while the visible perimeter becomes part of the room’s design.

From builder-basic to intentionally finished

A made-to-order frame gives the existing wall-mounted mirror a defined border and helps coordinate it with the vanity, hardware, and surrounding finishes.

A worn perimeter becomes part of a finished design

Where the mirror remains secure and suitable for framing, the frame can conceal limited perimeter deterioration while updating the overall appearance.

Results depend on the mirror’s condition, mounting method, surrounding clearances, and the selected frame profile.

HOW IT WORKS

From a plain mirror to a finished frame in six steps

The ordering process combines your frame selection with the mirror dimensions and surrounding conditions needed to produce a made-to-order frame.

  1. 1

    STEP 1

    Choose your frame

    Browse the available frame styles and finishes and select the option that best coordinates with your bathroom.

    Order finish samples when you need to compare colors in the room.

  2. 2

    STEP 2

    Measure the mirror

    Enter the mirror’s exact width and height using the measurement method provided in the ordering instructions.

    Do not rely on approximate dimensions or the dimensions of the wall opening.

  3. 3

    STEP 3

    Record all four clearances

    Measure the available space from each mirror edge to nearby walls, backsplashes, ceilings, trim, fixtures, and other obstructions.

    Each side can have a different available clearance.

  4. 4

    STEP 4

    Confirm mounting conditions

    Identify mirror clips and answer the compatibility questions about surrounding conditions before adding the frame to your cart.

    Contact Frame My Mirror before ordering when a condition is unclear.

  5. 5

    STEP 5

    Place your made-to-order frame

    Review the entered dimensions, selected finish, clearances, and compatibility answers before completing checkout.

    Made-to-order dimensions should be verified carefully before purchase.

  6. 6

    STEP 6

    Install the frame

    Follow the installation instructions to assemble and attach the frame over the perimeter of the suitable existing mirror.

    Review the complete installation instructions before beginning.

Accurate measurements and compatibility information are essential because each frame is produced to the dimensions submitted with the order.

QUESTIONS BEFORE ORDERING

What to know before framing your existing mirror

Review the mirror’s condition, mounting method, dimensions, and surrounding clearances before choosing a frame.

Can I frame my bathroom mirror without removing it?

Yes, when the existing mirror is securely mounted and suitable for framing. Add A Frame is designed to install over the perimeter of suitable wall-mounted mirrors, so the glass can remain in place.

How do I know whether my existing mirror is suitable?

The mirror should be securely mounted and structurally sound. You must also confirm its dimensions, mounting hardware, surrounding clearances, nearby fixtures, and other conditions that could affect the frame. Extensive damage, loose glass, or safety concerns should be evaluated before ordering.

Can the frame cover chipped edges or de-silvering?

A frame may conceal limited chips, darkening, or deterioration located around the mirror’s perimeter. The mirror must still be secure and suitable for framing. Damage extending beyond the frame coverage area or affecting the safety of the glass may require mirror replacement.

What happens if my mirror has clips?

Mirror clips must be identified during the measuring and ordering process. Their location, size, and projection can affect compatibility and the way the frame fits over the mirror. Most metal clips are fine, it's the bulky, plastic ones that will need to be replaced.

What clearances do I need around the mirror?

Measure the available space from each mirror edge to nearby walls, backsplashes, ceilings, trim, light fixtures, outlets, switches, and other permanent obstructions. Each side can have a different clearance, and the available space may limit which frame profiles will fit.

Why do the measurements need to be exact?

Each frame is made according to the dimensions and surrounding conditions submitted with the order. Verify the mirror width, height, four clearances, and compatibility information carefully before completing a made-to-order purchase.
