Hanging the Mirror Yourself – Our Advice

1. Check the number of hanging points
   
   - Does your mirror have only one hanging point? Then you can hang it from that point. This usually applies to round, oval, or smaller mirrors up to 10 kg.
   - Does your mirror have two hanging brackets (typically mounted horizontally)? Always use both brackets. This ensures better weight distribution and prevents tilting or damage.
   
   2. Mirrors from 10 kilograms
   
   - From a weight of 10 kg, we recommend using two hanging points.
   - For mirrors weighing 15 kg or more, using two hanging points is mandatory.
   - Mark the drill holes perfectly level (use a spirit level) and choose suitable wall plugs for your wall type.
   
   3. Using wire or cord
   
   - Hanging a heavy mirror from just one point or a single cord is strongly discouraged.
   - If you still choose to use a cord, always use two wall points.
   - Use strong nylon cord and check that it hangs securely.

Important Warning

Never hang a heavy mirror (over 15 kilograms) from a single point or with just a cord.
This may lead to the screw tearing out and the mirror falling down. Always use two secure wall mountings.

Warranty Disclaimer

Hanging the mirror is at your own risk.
