Yes. If the frame must come off we recommend using dental floss or fishing line to separate the foam tape from the mirror. We suggest you use Goof-Off, or a citrus-based cleaner to remove the rest of the tape from the surface of the mirror. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that your frame would be usable should you choose to remove it. E-mail info@mirrormate.com for removal instructions. It will be necessary for us to send you replacement tape and placement corners.

Once you click the “Start framing” button above, we’ll walk you through the process to measure your mirror’s width and height, as well as the distance around your mirror.

All frames are made of MDF: an environmentally-responsible, strong, non-warping wood-base. They are then finished with a moisture-impervious decorative wrap and seal. If for any reason your frame warps we’ll replace it! We also use an industrial grade adhesive so you can be sure your frame won’t fall off your mirror.

One corner at a time, lightly apply a thin coat glue of glue, aligning the ends together to form your frame. Insert connectors into each glued corner starting with the short connector in the outer slot. Lightly hammer until flush then repeat with the interior, long connectors.

We've all struggled with products that promise easy assembly but don't deliver, that’s why our DIY frame kits include everything you need to build your frame—you just provide a small hammer.

Within 10 minutes of application, wipe off any excess glue from the front of the frame with a damp rag before glue sets. Let glue dry for 20 minutes. Prepare your mirror by cleaning the edges where the frame will apply with the alcohol wipe provided. Allow to dry for 5 minutes so the mounting tape will adhere properly.

A channel is a j-shaped piece of metal that usually runs the width of the mirror on the bottom and the mirror sits in this channel. Clips come in a variety of styles. You will usually find 2-3 clips on the top and bottom of your mirror. Occasionally they will be on the side. It is best to remove clips from the side of your mirror. The clips can be metal or plastic. MirrorMate frames are designed to cover both the channel and the clips.

My mirror was in bad shape so I decided to find where I could purchase a frame to make it look better. Glad I found MirrorMate. Decided to change lighting color too and make it warmer. Here are some before and after but to be honest my pictures don't do it justice. Oh, and by the way, I already got 2 compliments on how much better it looks. Like I said , I'm glad I found MirrorMate.

Yes! Our frames are specially designed to cover and hide the clips and channels holding your existing mirror. The patented frames work seamlessly with almost all clips, with the exception of large plastic clips that are both 1” wide and 1” long. In this case, you can use the replacement clips included in with order. If your clips are plastic, but smaller than 1” you should not need replacement clips.

All it takes to keep your frame looking good as new is simple dusting, or a light wiping with a cloth or paper towel that’s slightly dampened with water. Easy as that!
