4. Setup and Installation
The Fabuday mirror can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Due to product updates, you may receive a mirror with one of two different mounting styles. Please identify your mirror's mounting style and follow the corresponding instructions below.
Image 4.1: Horizontal and Vertical Installation Options.
Method A: Bracket-Based Installation (Older Style)
This method involves mounting a bracket to the wall and then slotting the mirror onto it.
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired height and position for your mirror. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the mirror's bracket. Mark these points on the wall using a pencil.
- Level the Marks: Use a spirit level to ensure your marked points are perfectly horizontal. Adjust as necessary.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., drywall, concrete), drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert wall anchors into the drilled holes if required.
- Mount the Bracket: Align the mirror's mounting bracket with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached and level.
- Hang the Mirror: Carefully lift the mirror and align the slots on the back of the mirror with the mounted bracket. Gently lower the mirror until it securely slots into place. Ensure the mirror is stable and flush against the wall.

Method B: Screw-Based Installation (Newer Style)
This method involves driving screws directly into the wall (with anchors) and hanging the mirror onto them.
- Mark the Distance: Measure the distance between the hanging points on the back of your mirror. Mark these points on your wall where you intend to hang the mirror.
- Drill Holes: Using a drill, create pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert the provided wall anchors into these holes.
- Drive Expansion Screws: Drive the expansion screws into the wall anchors, leaving a small portion of the screw head exposed. Ensure the exposed screw heads are positioned to fit into the mirror's hanging slots.
- Hang the Mirror: Carefully lift the mirror and align the hanging slots on its back with the exposed screw heads. Gently lower the mirror onto the screws until it is securely seated and flush against the wall.

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Fabuday mirror.
- Cleaning the Mirror Surface: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame. Wipe gently until clean and streak-free.
- Cleaning the Frame: For the aluminum frame, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While the mirror is moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or direct water spray should be avoided, especially around the edges of the frame.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure. Tighten screws if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your mirror.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror is not flush against the wall. | Mounting hardware or bracket not fully recessed; uneven wall surface. | Ensure screws are fully driven or bracket is flush. For minor gaps, a small adhesive strip (e.g., 3M command strip) at the bottom can help secure it flat against the wall. |
| Mirror appears wobbly or loose. | Screws are loose; anchors not properly installed; insufficient support. | Carefully remove the mirror. Re-tighten screws, ensure anchors are fully seated, or consider using stronger anchors if the wall material is weak. Verify the bracket/screws are level and securely installed. |
| Scratches or smudges on the mirror surface. | Improper cleaning materials; abrasive contact. | Use only soft, lint-free cloths and non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid sharp objects near the mirror surface. |
| Difficulty with installation. | Unfamiliarity with tools; incorrect measurements. | Review the installation steps carefully. Ensure you have the correct tools. If unsure, consider seeking professional assistance. |
