# How to Hang a Pressed Board Mirror From the Ceiling
Pressboard is a dense combination of sawdust and wood particles that are glued together, and placed under high heat and pressure to fuse them together. It is a dense and often heavy material that is used in furniture construction and industrial application. Pressboard is not ideal for hanging from a ceiling because of its weight, but one advantage of a pressboard mirror is that you don't need an additional plywood backing that other mirrors require. As a result, you can hang a pressboard mirror above your bed if you are careful.

1
Climb a ladder so you have easier access to your ceiling. This allows you to find the ceiling joists without straining.
-
2
Run a stud finder over the ceiling to locate the ceiling joists. The joists provide support for the screws needed to hold the mirror in place so it doesn't fall.
-
3
Ask an assistant to hold the mirror up against the ceiling so its pressboard frame is against the joists.
-
4
Drill long screws through the pressboard into the ceiling joists every 5 or 6 inches around to ensure that the mirror is supported fully.
-
5
Apply an epoxy glue to the pressboard to attach a frame to the mirror if you wish to do so. Follow all instructions for your individual frame for best results.
