Simple question, I have a large frameless mirror hanging in a spare washroom. The mirror is mounted directly to the wall with a metal bracket and four clips on the upper and lower edges of the glass.

I built a simple frame that will have a spot for the light fixture on top. Not sure I want to remove the mirror to attach to the frame since that will just add weight. I think I would like to attach the frame to the wall instead.

Any one ever tried this? If so how did you mount the frame? Does this make sense? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for all the guidance and help. The mirror will be set in a rabbit on the back side.

I will try he contact adhesive, think that sounds like my best option. I saw the steel style of French cleats, and had that in mind. But built this on a whim without pondering the fastening system with the need to be flush to allow the light fixture to be mounted to the mirror frame.

Thanks again, will post a pic with the result.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

I am finishing the frame now, just got my second coat op poly on.

Hop to get it installed this week. Can't wait to get rid of the hideous light fixture as well.
