Safety Considerations for Mirror Installation in Homes and Businesses

February 6, 2024adminUncategorizedNo Comments

How Can I Safely Hang A Mirror?

Mirrors are staple decorations and furniture pieces in almost every home or business as they provide a place to view yourself and help bring elements together, making spaces bigger. Whether a mirror is propped up against a wall, hung up in a vanity, or perfectly placed in a room, there are many options and areas where these materials can be placed. However, mirrors and glass, in general, are very delicate and need to be appropriately handled right from when they are unpackaged to the final installation. To help you safely place your new mirror in your home or business, the Merrimack Valley Glass & Mirror experts have compiled a list of ways to assist in this process.

The Do’s Of Hanging A Mirror:

Unbox The Mirror With A Cushion:

Mirrors are fragile; do not open them on a surface that, if dropped, the mirror will shatter. We recommend unboxing with several people over a bed, carpet, or oversized couch.

Wear Grippy Gloves To Hold The Mirror:

While you may think you have excellent grip, mirrors are slippery; using a pair of rubber gloves can help you prevent the mirror from slipping out of your fingers.

Carry The Mirror On Your Side:

If the mirror is large, use both hands to carry it on your side, using the support of the side of your body to navigate it to where it needs to go. Doing so will prevent you from hitting walls or other decorative items.

Cushion Rough Or Hard Surfaces:

If you plan on setting the mirror down anywhere during installation, we recommend covering any rough or hard surface that may ding, scratch, or break the mirror.

When Should I Contact A Professional Mirror Installer?

Suppose you are interested in hanging, creating, and safely placing a custom or pre-cut mirror for your space. In that case, we recommend contacting a trusted professional custom mirror installer almost instantly. When you work with a company specializing in mirrors and glass work, you ensure that you are getting the best in product, installation, and safety. If you are located within the Merrimac Valley region of Massachusetts, reach out to Merrimack Valley Glass & Mirror. We provide expert knowledge and top-notch customer service for custom mirrors, including creation and installation!
