Heavy Mirrors from AED 250*
Ornate gilded mirrors above a console, oversized mirrors in villa entrances and heavy framed pieces in majlis rooms can weigh 30 to 80 kg. They need heavy-duty brackets, French cleats and solid fixings. We mount heavy decorative mirrors safely with two installers.
Hardware
Long aluminium or steel cleats that spread the load along the wall. The mirror hooks on and sits flat. They suit wide, heavy frames.
Steel brackets bolted into solid wall for very heavy pieces. They carry far more than hooks or wire. Brackets are hidden behind the frame.
Bottom fixings that stop the mirror lifting off. They are useful in busy entrances and public areas. The mirror cannot be knocked off the wall.
Anchors that grip hollow block and concrete. They are rated for heavy loads. Fixings are chosen after testing the wall.
Statement Pieces
Heavy mirrors need hardware rated well above their weight.
We mount them on cleats and brackets into tested fixings with two installers.
Risks
Likely cause: Plastic plugs in hollow block or gypsum.
What we do: Resin anchors or fixing into studs.
Likely cause: Wire not rated for the weight.
What we do: Wire replaced by cleat or brackets.
Likely cause: Single hanging point.
What we do: Two-point or full-width cleat.
Likely cause: Fixings set too low on the frame.
What we do: Cleat repositioned so it sits flat.
Villa entrances and majlis rooms often feature large, ornate mirrors. Their weight is concentrated in heavy frames, and the hanging hardware supplied is often not enough. We replace it with cleats or brackets rated well above the mirror's weight.
We weigh or estimate every heavy mirror before fixing and test the wall. Hollow block needs resin anchors; gypsum walls need fixing into the studs or a cleat spread across several anchors.
