Bathroom cabinet mirror

Mirror-cabinet - an element of the interior, a favorite of many. And for good reason. It combines many functions at the same time, and at the same time does not take up so much space.

• Roominess and convenience of storage. Mirror-cabinet allows you to rationally distribute on its shelves all the little things that are so necessary in the bathroom: shampoos, shower gels, cosmetics, detergents and much more. If you want, you can even put a water heater in it.
• Drawers and hooks are a great addition that saves free bathroom space.
• Easy to assemble. All the necessary parts are in the kit, and a detailed instruction will simplify the task.
• Versatility. A hinged mirror cabinet, for example, can easily perform the role of a nightstand.
• Efficiency. If you use a LED strip or spot lamps as lighting, then due to the reflective properties of the mirror, the bathroom will be much brighter. You won't even need other lighting fixtures.
• Functionality. A variety of cabinet door options (hinged, hinged, blinds, etc.) allow you to choose what will really be optimal for your bathroom.
• Perfect combination with any interior style.

• Maintenance. The mirrored surface must always be in perfect condition otherwise the cabinet will look unkempt. In this regard, you need to wipe the cabinet much more often than normal.
• Size. Too large a mirror-cabinet will not bring positive emotions. It will take up a lot of space.
• The fragility of the mirror surface, requiring careful and careful use.
• Cost. A quality mirror-cabinet is quite expensive and not everyone can afford it.

For the manufacture of a mirror-cabinet is used chipboard, plastic, glass, artificial stone, wood with a combination of iron.

Materials that are used to make a mirror-cabinet, must be perfectly safe, have the ability to repel liquids.

Keep in mind that chipboard cabinets can accumulate odors from stored household items over time.

Glass wall cabinets are considered to be of the highest quality. The durability of glass is comparable to that of stone. Only the weight of the product will be much less.

Such a mirror-cabinet is equipped with a backlight, which includes a lighting device, a switch and a socket. The backlight is recessed both inside and on the outside of the structure.

The combination of mirror gloss and lighting elements creates a stunning effect. It is a visual extension of space, an auxiliary source of light, and, finally, beauty.

It can be a regular or angular version.

Hanging model. The dimensions of such a design in height 57-90 cm, width - 50 cm, depth - no more than 25 cm. The mirror can be both built into the door, and completely replacing it. The shelves are located inside the cabinet itself. Optionally with additional shelves on the right and left or a model with their asymmetrical arrangement.

Hinged corner model. Located at the junction of two walls, i.e. in the corner. A wonderful option for small-sized bathrooms, very compact. Takes up little space, but holds a lot.

Can be on legs, rollers or skids. Easy to care for. It is easy to clean the floor underneath.

The basement is a long, narrow cabinet. It has the advantage of size. It needs little space, but it holds a lot of things.

Characterized by a good capacity, but despite this, such a cabinet is not very popular.

Before you buy a mirror-cabinet, think about how this piece of interior will fit into your bathroom. Won't it be too bulky?

Hinged and corner mirror cabinets are considered ideal in terms of ergonomics and compactness.

Sliding and lift-up doors are the most convenient option.

Metal fittings are of higher quality than plastic.

Mirror-cabinet:

• should not be exposed to corrosive effects;
• be airtight (moisture penetration is inadmissible);
• not react to temperature changes;
• not be covered with mold;
• not subject to delamination over time.

• Measuring the space where the mirror-cabinet will be placed. The minimum distance between the cabinet and the sink is 40 cm. If the model is equipped with a hinged door, then you should remove everything unnecessary that prevents its functioning. Nearby shelves or furniture can easily damage the mirror when you open your cabinet.

Will need a drill. Do all measurements with the help of the level.
• The installation process. With a pencil mark the places where the hinges will be located. Drill holes for mounting (be sure to control with a level). Further we hammer in dowels with a rubber hammer. Metal can not, because it will break the dowel. Screw in the anchor bolts. Pay attention to the fact that their hooks should point upwards. There should be a distance of 1 cm between them and the wall. It is more convenient to suspend the cabinet by two people: one holds, the other guides.

To wash the mirrored surfaces of the cabinet a usual soap solution with a little ammonia added is used.

Do not use agents with abrasive particles. They will scratch the surface. Hard wipes and sponges are also unacceptable. Gels are ideal.

To prevent the mirror from tarnishing, it is recommended to occasionally treat it with vegetable oil. Then rinse and wipe until shiny.
