Build A Frame Around A Bathroom Mirror

I could have gone.

Build a frame around a bathroom mirror.

Use painter s tape at the top of the mirror to hold it in place while the adhesive dries. Adding décor to the bathroom by installing mirror decorative framing. Framing strips apply to existing mirrors with included double faced tape squares plus adhesive glue which can be purchased separately. The acrylic mirror finish looks like a real mirror and the strips are easy to size and cut for a proper fit.

Measure the mirror on the wall to determine the length and width of frame image 1. Then attach the frame as described in the previous section. Determine trim style and positioning of trim around mirror to obtain measurements specific to mirror being framed. Using a table saw cut the trim and molding pieces to size.

Tilt the top up against the wall and press gently but evenly around the mirror. When updating a bathroom one slice of the budget usually goes to a bathroom mirror. Use measurements to cut lengths of primed mdf baseboard. In this case the mirror was 84 x 36.

Now cut out a pocket or groove in the primary trim pieces to accommodate the edges of the mirror image 2. Place the mirror in position starting at the bottom. Because of the overall style of the bathroom squared cedar was selected as the frame material. 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.

Even the budget mirrors at home goods can run between 50 60 for a small ish mirror. With this size i knew i wanted to frame it with 1x4 for good proportions. Liquid nails ln 700 is recommended. I browsed the wood and trim aisles of home depot and picked out a primed 1 4 inch trim board.

For our latest bathroom renovation instead of replacing the bathroom mirrors we updated them. Keep the table saw unplugged when not in use especially when adjusting the blade or fence.
