KNOW-HOW

There are different kinds of mirrors used in decorating modern bathrooms. One of them is the frameless mirror offering a sleek, modern look. It is a popular choice especially for modern designs since it gives that contemporary and elegant look, not to mention the illusion of more space.

Popular in high design, especially in larger bathroom, frameless mirrors take up all the space on the wall above your vanity, from the top of the backslash all or nearly all the way up to the ceiling, and often all the way across the wall horizontally. Since they are made of a single large piece of glass, they can be quite costly, but they offer the fullest reflection of any type of bathroom mirror.

What are the characteristics of a flameless mirror? Should you pick a flameless design instead of a framed alternative?

To begin with, quality frameless mirrors designed for bathrooms mirrors are specially sealed on backing and edges in order to stand up to the heat and humidity that comes from your shower. This is done to keep steam and moisture from penetrating the mirror. Expect to pay more for properly sealed and quality mirrors since when it comes to quality, you get what you pay for so you have to make sure your newly bought bathroom mirror has the above feature to avoid watching your mirror fog and degrade within a short time, despite your investment in them. Make sure you express that your mirrors will be exposed to moisture and humidity and that they should be sealed.

Secondly, frameless mirrors are much easier to clean than framed alternatives since there are no edges and dust cannot be accumulated within them. However, the edges are much sharper so be extra careful about using frameless designs if you have small children around.
