How To Hang A Mirror On Tiles

When buying a bathroom mirror, you should consider how it will be hung.

Most frameless mirrors are sold with hanging clips already on the back so they sit flush against the wall.

You also should consider factors such as how large the wall is where the mirror will hang, and how high you want it to be above the sink or benchtop.

Step 1. Measure clip positions

Use a length of timber as a spacing rod and mark the centre of the hanging clips.

Drill corresponding holes through the timber using a twist bit to match the diameter of the wall plug.

2. Drill into the tiles

Position the spacing rod on the tiles using a spirit level.

Use a power drill set on drill setting only and a masonry bit to match the plug diameter.

Insert the drill bit through the holes in the rod and drill through the tile into the wall to the depth required

3. Hang the mirror

Tap in the appropriate plug and secure the panhead screws supplied with the mirror, leaving them protruding from the tile to the depth of the hanging clip.

Hook the clips over the screw heads and let them drop into the slots.
