Build A Frame Around A Bathroom Mirror

I had originally thought i was going to go with a more detailed trim to frame out the mirror but after i checked cost on the trim i wanted to use my mirror was big and reconsidering i decided to go with a more basic clean look.

Build a frame around a bathroom mirror.

The acrylic mirror finish looks like a real mirror and the strips are easy to size and cut for a proper fit. Keep the table saw unplugged when not in use especially when adjusting the blade or fence. Framing strips apply to existing mirrors with included double faced tape squares plus adhesive glue which can be purchased separately. Use painter s tape at the top of the mirror to hold it in place while the adhesive dries.

Place the mirror in position starting at the bottom. Start by determining the size of the existing mirror as well as the new frame. Liquid nails ln 700 is recommended. I could have gone.

Measure the mirror on the wall to determine the length and width of frame image 1. Use measurements to cut lengths of primed mdf baseboard. Have materials cut at a home improvement store and consider using style of door casings in home as inspiration for the look of the mirror frame. When updating a bathroom one slice of the budget usually goes to a bathroom mirror.

Then attach the frame as described in the previous section. Acrylic mirror strips measure 60 in. Now cut out a pocket or groove in the primary trim pieces to accommodate the edges of the mirror image 2. In this case the mirror was 84 x 36.

Adding décor to the bathroom by installing mirror decorative framing. I browsed the wood and trim aisles of home depot and picked out a primed 1 4 inch trim board. With this size i knew i wanted to frame it with 1x4 for good proportions. For our latest bathroom renovation instead of replacing the bathroom mirrors we updated them.

Tilt the top up against the wall and press gently but evenly around the mirror. Using a table saw cut the trim and molding pieces to size.
