Yes, MirrorMate frames are designed to attach directly to your existing mirror, so you can upgrade your space without removing or replacing anything. Adding molding around mirrors gives your bathroom a more finished feel—it’s a simple way to elevate a basic mirror into a standout feature while keeping your current setup intact.

Does your mirror molding cover mirror clips?

How do I measure my mirror for molding?

Is mirror molding safe for humid bathrooms?
MirrorMate frames are designed to withstand humid bathroom conditions. We use durable materials and professional-grade 3M adhesive to attach the frame to your mirror. We’re so confident about the performance of our mirror frames, we offer a 5-year guarantee.
Is adding mirror molding better than replacing the mirror?
Using wood molding for mirrors is often better than replacing the mirror. There are a couple of reasons for this. Builder-grade mirrors are often glued to the wall, and removing them can be a messy and potentially hazardous process since the mirror may break upon removal. You may end up with damaged drywall that needs to be spackled and repainted, not to mention a project on your hands to find and install a new mirror.
Regardless of how your existing mirror is attached to the wall, if the mirror is in good condition, why throw it out? MirrorMate makes it easy to bypass the time-consuming and costly process of replacing a perfectly good mirror. Our custom-crafted mirror molding kits give you a designer look without the hassle. Simply choose your frame style from dozens of options, provide some measurements, and place your order!
