Thank you for sharing. Question so what is the bottom rack or bracket called that one that is supporting most of the weight of the mirros. If you can point me the right direction on getting them for 1/8 for some mirros that i got. I trid looking for them online but i came across picture frame brackets instead that overlap each other. Also, you have a lovely dog. Thank you and looking forward to your replied.
Both Lowe's and Home Depot sell them. The biggest size that they both carry is 36x60 which is pretty big. Both sell them for $55 but the ones that Home Depot sells weigh significantly less than the ones from Lowe's (30 lbs versus 48 lbs). Home Depot also sells a longer j-mold or j-channel (72") which would fit two of the big mirrors. Lowe's j-mold/j-channel is 48" which makes it harder to fit some mirror sizes.
Hi Handyman, would you please assist me with some of your knowledge..? I have had professionals to install a huge mirror in my livingroom today (220cm×125). It's installed horizontally using frames (upper side and bottom). For the most part the result is fine, but there's quite a lot of distortions on the upper 15-20cm of the mirror - as well as a little bit a little to the side of the center of the mirror, so I'm not really happy with the result. Not completely unhappy either, just a little disappointed, considering a bought the mirror and installation from a shop specializing in glass and mirrors and paid a lot for it. Do you think there's anything that could be done to improve it? Or do you think that due to the size, distortions are inevitable? Should I give some feedback on it, or accept it as it is?
Hi! I’m just curious if you know why when I tried to put my mirrors side by side, the reflection is uneven? They were all leveled and they were a couple inches different in the reflection
This was never answered so I’m answering what I learned from a different video. While screwing the screws in, it was causing the slightest uneven difference in the j-channels and to fix it the guy went and measured the level for each mirror and then tweaked the screws until it was level.
Guess they didn't want u to use mirror mastic? For something like that I think it looks tacky with clips at the top like that. But the mastic would take off all the wall if it ever had to be removed....
I saw some mirror kits come with a rubber strip to provide cushion between the bottom of the j bar and the mirror - is that necessary, or can I set the mirrors into the j bar without any cushioning?
You can find the mirrors at Home Depot.. I went this morning and they’re about $55 each for 36” x 60” .. you’ll need a J channel $10-15 depending on the length 1 1/2 “drywall screws $6 .. Mirror clips $4 .. oh and some drywall anchors in case you drill out of the studs hope that help, Good luck! 👍🏽
+Veranda Tales No but that is a very valid concern. These mirrors are not as thick as I would like. I did put the offer on the table to put them all on a backer board to make them stiffer and not contort like fun house mirrors. They look pretty good and the image is good enough for Irish dancing.
Just installed 3 mirror similar to those, just not as wide. Used 4 mirror clips on each and the e-z anchors you used. Love those anchors. Quick and easy! Love your videos, especially when you speed them up. Have you tried the Franklin pro sensors to find the studs? I found it to be very accurate for my needs. Couldn't live without it.
Is there anything that looks better for the top? You have a nice silver trim at the bottom and then nasty looking clips for the top. Can't you get a nice trim to match the bottom?
Is there any reason you didn't use glue? Is glue necessary to use for any reason? Also - instead of using the clear tacks at the top, can you use another J Mold to keep the look consistent?
These mirrors were light and pretty flimsy. The track I use would still be strong enough for a 50 pound mirror If you used good screws that go into the studs.
It wont hurt. All the new homes I built the mirrors had the black mirror glue on the back of them. The only problem is you can't get the mirror off with out ripping the wall apart and the mirror breaking.
thank you =). What do you call the things on the top that you used to hold the mirrors in place? Sorry this is my first project. In total, what things did you need to finish the installation of the mirrors?
2 things: first, why didn't you just put the track up on top as well? Just wanted it to be an easier install? Any drawbacks to putting one up there? Second, I strongly advise against Windex. For mirrors, AC Delco Glass Cleaner is the best I've ever used. A can will last you a while.
This great. I thought you would actually have to glue mirrors to walls now I can do this and remove it easily.
do you think they added safety backing?
That yawn at the end is EVERYTHING! 5:33 Made me smile and warmed my heart. :)
where did you get your mirrors
Lowe’s sells them
@@elisscaliving5864 what was the size of them
@@truebengalsfan assuming 36” x 60” since Lowe’s is known well for them!
Been looking for weeks on how to make my wall a mirror wall. Thank you. Easy to follow.
What do you call the bottom rail? The long piece of metal holding the mirrors up? Need to know so I can begin
J-Channel for mirrors.

Hello I have a question when you put Silver J-Mold on bottom what screws did you use. Thank you
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing. Could you explain how do you screw when there is no stud?
where do you buy this mirrors?
I need some like this for a gym
Thanks for the video, it helps a lot! I’m hanging 2 wall mirrors for a friend’s basement dance studio today.
Yeah, tell a little about your gorgeous Dog. He/she is so cute. ❤️👍🏼
Love your pup..star of the show! ;-)

Clear setting blocks. 1/32" 1/16" 1/8" 1/4" will help with your gaps.
Where did you get the mirrors and approximate size of each? Thanks.
Where did you get the mirrors from? Having a hard time finding huge mirrors!

Great video. I"d like it if you could give an approximate price for all projects!
Hello I have a question. How can I hang something in a mirror wall? I can't find any advice on internet
And no comments from anyone on that cool tool-belt/vest? I've been looking for that! I see the link, thanks!
I love the door swinging shot. Looks so pro, even after I realized how it was panning!
thanks

Great job made it look easy... Do you know the size of the mirror?
Use rubbing alcohol to remove the tape goo. With windex you gotta do a lot of scratching to remove it
Glad to see your Pittie back in a video! She's adorable. I have a blue/white pit. They are an amazing breed!!
watched severan videos and yours was the best thank you

So when I go to Home Depot, what are the name of the mounting tools I need to mount my frameless mirror?
there is a section in the picture and mirror hanging section. There is a channel that goes on the bottom and clips that go around the edge.
The Handyman Ok. Thank you!
We’re did u get the track
I want to place mirrors on the walls of my garage. But there are tiles on the walls. can I place the mirrors on the tiles and how?
Would it look better or worse if you covered the whole wall with mirrors?
What are you scoring the wall with while measuring?
where are u located? i'm in fishkill NY!!! Need u asap!!
I saw some mirror kits come with a rubber strip to provide cushion between the bottom of the j bar and the mirror - is that necessary, or can I set the mirrors into the j bar without any cushioning?
Hey, how much did the entire project cost, and where can I buy the mirror itself?
You can find the mirrors at Home Depot.. I went this morning and they’re about $55 each for 36” x 60” ..
you’ll need a J channel $10-15 depending on the length
1 1/2 “drywall screws $6 .. Mirror clips $4 .. oh and some drywall anchors in case you drill out of the studs
hope that help, Good luck! 👍🏽
beautiful pit!!!! she's in good hands!!
I have a 60 inch long mirror, i can't find a J channel mount for it...any idea?
It's amazing how you find the time to do all these projects while filming The Blacklist
+The Jagers its my job. I do it every day all day.
Great job. Do you take apprenticeship? I mean if anyone wants to be a handyman and want to acquire skills from you. Before they be on their own.
Great video! Nice Dog:-)
Where would I buy or order large glass sheets? Delivered or did you go pickup?
Home Depot
Omg this is exactly what I am looking for in my bedroom ! I wish you lived in NYC ! Can you tell me please what size mirrors you used ? Thanks
they are 24" x 60" from Home Depot
Can you please list down the things you used in this video?
Are the mirrors backed with a board to stiffen them up?
+Veranda Tales No but that is a very valid concern. These mirrors are not as thick as I would like. I did put the offer on the table to put them all on a backer board to make them stiffer and not contort like fun house mirrors. They look pretty good and the image is good enough for Irish dancing.
How high off the floor is bottom of mirror & how did you decide?
Size of those mirrors?
How did you make sure there is no pipeline or electrical wire ? Thank you
Was your 160$ price including the labor and mirrors?
What size mirrors did you hang?
Does he jump up there or do you have to put him up on the table?
She can jump. She climbs trees after squirrels too.
Hey, what are these hanging rails on the bottom of the wall called?
Can you come do it for my room ! In dallas tx ! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Just installed 3 mirror similar to those, just not as wide. Used 4 mirror clips on each and the e-z anchors you used. Love those anchors. Quick and easy! Love your videos, especially when you speed them up.
Have you tried the Franklin pro sensors to find the studs? I found it to be very accurate for my needs. Couldn't live without it.
I have a stud finder but I forgot it at home that day.
How much is 1 panel of mirror?
This is even more fun when I put it on 1.75 playback speed!!! Still laughing!
I've lay 4 pieces of mirror together, but having off alignment issues between edges between them.....so it looks bad when crossing mirrors to mirrors.
Hi! What is that bracket called that you put at the bottom to hold the mirror!
J-channel for mirrors
You never say what it is called!
I just told you its J- Channel
I apologize, in my excitement, I didn't see it. Got it now, thanks
I have a very heavy 10 foot mirror- would this j channel hold something very heavy?
What kind of screws did you use to secure the track to the wall while ensuring the screw heads didn't block the channel space for the mirror?
+Ian Roberts I used drywall screws.
I love this channel.
Is there anything that looks better for the top? You have a nice silver trim at the bottom and then nasty looking clips for the top. Can't you get a nice trim to match the bottom?
How would you do this on brick wall?
Hey was wondering where you got them mirrors
Lowe’s sells them
Can you link me to the mirrors and channel?
3.18 That is deffo a dance move. Well I'm calling it that
Does anyone know where I can buy the exact model?
So where I get this mirrors??
I’m about to install my mirrors in my room. #proudDancer
Is there any reason you didn't use glue? Is glue necessary to use for any reason? Also - instead of using the clear tacks at the top, can you use another J Mold to keep the look consistent?
You can't put a track on at the top. If you use glue you will never be able to remove the mirrors.
Thank you!!
What is the metal track called
What’s doggo’s name?
Eric church moonlighting as a handyman? 👍🏼👍🏼
HA holy shitt I never realized who he looked like
Where do you buy mirrors like that?
HD
$160 cash to hang 4 mirrors and it's a good deal...There is no way someone is willing to pay that much here :)
A-G $160 is a great deal. The company i work for would have charge around 300-350 for that job.
+TheThreeShooters $300 is a fair price.
The Handyman my clients usually leave the cash on the nightstand
I know nothing about this and that actually sounds pretty cheap to me honestly
Where did you buy all of the materials?!
How much for the mirrors
"What's this crazy hooman doing talking to a wall?"
-The Dog.
where did you get the mirrors???

How heavy was each mirror? I'm looking to put up a frameless mirror that weighs around 40-50 lbs, could I do it the same way you did? Thanks!
These mirrors were light and pretty flimsy. The track I use would still be strong enough for a 50 pound mirror If you used good screws that go into the studs.
Thank you!! Have 2 studs to work with... Would you recommend using some sort of mastic glue to be on the safe side or not needed? Thanks again
It wont hurt. All the new homes I built the mirrors had the black mirror glue on the back of them. The only problem is you can't get the mirror off with out ripping the wall apart and the mirror breaking.
@@TheHandyman1 How did you get them to align with the reflection? My have such issues from mirror to mirror with the reflection being distorted.
Nice work
A good job
What things do you need to hang the mirror? Like what's the metal bars called?
Its all sold at home depot in the mirror hanging section. I'm not sure what the bottom track is called. Its made for mirrors.
thank you =). What do you call the things on the top that you used to hold the mirrors in place? Sorry this is my first project. In total, what things did you need to finish the installation of the mirrors?
Mirror clips
Hope you can make more videos about mirrors and glasses >:]]
where did you order your mirrors from ?
Off the shelf at home depot
The Handyman how much is 1 mirror panel sir?
Does anyone know the dimensions of one mirror?
2 things: first, why didn't you just put the track up on top as well? Just wanted it to be an easier install? Any drawbacks to putting one up there? Second, I strongly advise against Windex. For mirrors, AC Delco Glass Cleaner is the best I've ever used. A can will last you a while.
It is impossible to install the track on the top. The track only goes on the bottom.
I installed the j-channel perfectly level and the mirrors are still uneven (1/4" gap at the top between mirrors). Time to call a professional.
Put seat block on the side you need pick up. You can use different sizes. 1/16,1/8 or 1/4.
I need that how do you put mirrors on a basement wall??
I have a video on that. I made a 2x4 wall and hung the mirrors on it. Here is the link. th-cam.com/video/jOGDVS0P5vk/w-d-xo.html
What to do if you can’t put nails In the wall
What hangers are you using?????? You don’t explain anything.
that vest... for a second, i thought it was a FBI agent was checking something behind the wall...
I've been meaning to ask for a long time now. What's up with that toilet seat on the wall in your workshop? Short video on that please!
That’s the old fashion way of hanging mirrors
“Get off me” REALLLYYYY
thanks .......
I activate *Harpy Lady* in attack mode
Awesome
$150 💀 bro you could’ve gotten at least $600
👍👍
