How to Hang a Frameless Oval Mirror Without Hanging Clips

A frameless oval mirror provides a clean and sleek look to any decor. Frameless mirrors are usually installed with mirror or hanging clips, which are visible on the top, bottom and sides of the mirror. However, these clips take away from frameless look of the mirror. You can safely and securely hang a frameless oval mirror from a wall using mirror adhesive. Once the adhesive is on the mirror and the mirror is on the wall, you will never see the adhesive again.

      Open the bottle of mirror adhesive. Hold the adhesive above the back of the mirror and squeeze several vertical beads on the mirror back. Apply a 1/2-inch bead for every foot of the mirror. Keep the beads away from the edge to prevent the adhesive from squeezing out the sides of the mirror.

      Grasp the sides of the oval mirror and lift it up. Carefully place the bottom middle of the oval mirror into the mirror cleat. Place the mirror backing against the wall and apply pressure to the mirror with your hands.

      Allow the adhesive to cure for several hours up to several days. The adhesive requires air to cure, and the curing time will depend on the humidity level and temperature in the room.
