Hinged cabinets made of glass are considered to be the best quality. The strength of the glass, which goes to the manufacture, is comparable with the stone. Only the weight of the product will be much less.

This mirror-cabinet is equipped with a backlight, which includes a lighting device, a switch and a socket. The backlight is integrated both inside and outside the structure.

The combination of mirror gloss and lighting elements creates an amazing effect. It is both a visual expansion of space, and an auxiliary source of light, and, finally, beauty.

Before you buy a mirror cabinet, think about how this piece of furniture will fit into your bathroom. Will not it be too cumbersome?

Mirror cabinet:

• must not be exposed to corrosive agents;
• be sealed( penetration of moisture is unacceptable);
• not respond to temperature fluctuations;
• is not moldy;
• does not degrade over time.

• Measuring the space where the mirror cabinet will be placed. The minimum distance between the cabinet and the sink is 40 cm. If the model is equipped with a swinging door, then remove all unnecessary, which hinders its functioning. Nearby shelves or furniture can easily damage the mirror when you open your locker.
• Buying a cabinet and tools that are required for installation. To install the mirror cabinet, it is necessary to arm with anchor bolts and dowels( as a rule, they are already included in the kit), a rubber hammer, a tape measure, a pencil, a puncher and goggles, pliers. A drill is required. All measurements should be made using a level.
• Installation process. With a pencil we mark the places where hinged loops will be located. Drill holes for fastenings( always controlled by using a level).Then we drive the dowels with a rubber mallet. Metal can not be.he will break the dowel. We screw the anchor bolts. Note that their hooks should be pointed upwards. Between them and the wall should be a distance of 1 cm. It is more convenient to hang the cabinet together: one holds, the second guides.

To wash the mirror surfaces of the cabinet, use a usual soap solution, which is added a little bit of ammonia.

Do not use abrasive agents. They will scratch the surface. Hard wipes and sponges are also unacceptable. Ideal gels.

To prevent tarnishing the mirror, it is recommended to treat it occasionally with vegetable oil. Then rinse and rub to shine.
