Add A Frame® FAQ

How do I assemble and install my Add A Frame ®?

Assembly and installation of your custom frame is quick and easy. You can find detailed instructions in our Installation Guide.

Will an Add A Frame ® work even if my mirror is resting on the backsplash or tight against a corner?

Absolutely! Our frames are custom cut and mount directly to the surface of your mirror so they work for almost any space.

How do I care for my Add A Frame ® once it’s installed?

Our mirror frames only need a simple cleaning once they are installed. After that, just dust them with a soft cloth or duster, or use a damp cloth for more thorough cleaning. We do not recommend using any commercial cleaning solutions or harsh abrasives.

I’m not sure which Add A Frame ® I want. Can I order a sample?

Not only can you but we encourage you to. Samples of all our frames are available in 3-inch lengths and cost just $1 each.

If I have any questions can I call a technician?

We’re happy to answer any questions you might have. Simply call us at 1-800-331-6414 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to speak to a representative. If you get a recording, leave a message and tell us what time zone you are in and we’ll promptly return your call.

I have a very large mirror. Can I still use an Add A Frame ®?

Yes. We often receive orders for oversized frames, those exceeding 90 inches in length, and are able to accommodate orders up to 118 inches for some of our styles. Oversized frames are subject to a $50.00 handling fee due to the oversized nature of the frame. This covers additional labor and shipping fees. Frames over 99” will be spliced, which allows them to ship via our standard FedEx service.

What is splicing?

Splicing is a precision cut, vertical seam in pieces that measure over 99 inches. It will be visible in the installed product, but it will allow for frames to be freight shipped for free. To join the spliced pieces you simply use the wedges and glue included in your order and follow the same assembly process used for the rest of your frame. An additional fee of $50.00 is added to all orders over 90 inches. 

My mirror has beveled edges. Can I still use an Add A Frame ®?

Yes, but we’ll need to know it so we can adjust the location of the double-sided tape on your frame. Simply indicate that you have a beveled edge when completing the order form and we’ll take care of the rest. Please note that once the frame is applied to the mirror, the bevel will no longer be visible.

What if large plastic clips are holding my mirror in place?

Not a problem. We will send replacement flat metal clips to replace the plastic clips at no charge. Simply indicate that you have these clips on your order form.

My mirror is installed wall to wall and measures out of square (the mirror sides are not parallel to each other). Can I still frame my mirror?

Yes, but adjustments will need to be made in the measuring process. Your frame can only be as big as the largest rectangle that fits on the mirror so some of the mirror may be visible outside the frame in one or two spots. Frame My Mirror® can ship oversize pieces for your project and an experienced trim carpenter can make the miters for the out-of-square walls to completely customize the fit.

Will the edge of the mirror be visible after the frame is installed?

Typically we add a 3/8 inch overhang on all frame orders, unless any obstructions prevent us from doing so. The overhang does a good job hiding the mirror edge and makes for a clean, finished look.

Is freight really free?

Yes it sure is. Shipping is free on all orders within the continental US when no frame piece exceeds 100 inches in length. Alaska and Hawaii have freight adders that are explained in the pricing areas.

What are Add A Frame ® products made from?

We use two types of material to manufacture our Add A Frame ® products. Most have an MDF profile base. MDF is a solid, smooth wood made by gluing wood fibers together under heat and pressure. The resulting material is entirely resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations.

The other base material used in some of the collections is wood. Pieces of wood are cut, edge glued, and finger-jointed together into core sheets. They are then cut and molded to form the profile base.
