Mirror Buying Guide

A bathroom mirror should relate to the vanity, available wall space and lighting. Decide whether you need a simple mirror, storage cabinet, lighting or demisting before choosing the size.

Choose the right type

• Framed and frameless mirrors provide a simple reflective surface in different visual styles.
• Shaving cabinets add recessed or surface-mounted storage and need door-opening clearance.
• LED, demister, magnifying and accessible mirrors may require power or specialised positioning.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Available wall width and height above the vanity
• Distance from tapware, splashback, ceiling and side walls
• Cabinet-door and room-door clearances
• Power location for illuminated or demisting models

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Confirm wall construction and suitable fixings
• Check whether electrical components require a licensed electrician
• Allow for door swing and internal shelf depth on cabinets
• Coordinate the mirror position with lighting and the user height range

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Apply cleaner to a soft cloth rather than directly to mirror edges. Keep moisture away from edges, frames, cabinets and electrical components, and ventilate the room.

Frequently asked questions

Should the mirror be the same width as the vanity?

It can be narrower, equal or wider depending on the room. Use the vanity and wall proportions as a guide.

Can an LED mirror use an existing power point?

Installation varies by model. Confirm the electrical requirements with a licensed electrician.

What is a demister pad?

It warms part of the mirror to reduce condensation; coverage depends on its size and position.
