Non-Illuminated

What Size Non-Illuminated Mirror Should I Choose for My Basin or Vanity?

Pick a mirror close to the width of your basin, or slightly narrower than your vanity unit for visual balance. Our non-illuminated range spans compact 400mm widths up to statement 1200mm+ designs, such as the Adele and Nina ranges, so measure your wall space and basin width first.

Does This Mirror Need Any Electrical Connection?

No. Non-illuminated mirrors are simple wall-mounted products with no lights, wiring, or power connection required, so there's no need for a qualified electrician—you can typically install these yourself.

What Is a Non-Illuminated Bathroom Mirror, and How Is It Different From an LED Mirror?

A non-illuminated mirror is a simple wall-mounted mirror with no built-in lighting, wiring, or electrical components—just glass and a frame. It relies on your existing bathroom lighting rather than LEDs, which makes it a simpler, more affordable option than a backlit or illuminated mirror.

What Fixings Are Included, and Are They Suitable for Tiled, Plasterboard, or Masonry Walls?

Our non-illuminated mirrors include the wall-mounting hardware needed for a standard fit. Since there's no wiring involved, installation is straightforward—just make sure you're using the correct wall plugs for your wall type (tile, plasterboard, or masonry) to support the mirror's weight securely.

How Can I Stop My Mirror From Misting Up if It Has No Built-In Lighting or Demister?

Since non-illuminated mirrors don't have a demister pad, improving bathroom ventilation—running an extractor fan or opening a window during and after showering—is the most effective way to reduce condensation build-up on the glass.

How Do I Clean a Non-Illuminated Bathroom Mirror Without Streaks or Scratches?

Use a soft microfibre cloth with a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner, wiping in straight lines rather than circles. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers on framed edges, particularly on brushed or matt finishes, as these can dull the surface.

What Are the Advantages of a Non-Illuminated Mirror Over an Illuminated One?

Non-illuminated mirrors are simpler to install (no wiring or electrician needed), typically more affordable, and lower maintenance since there are no LEDs, drivers, or demister pads to fail over time. They're a practical choice if your bathroom already has good ceiling or wall lighting.

Why Are Dark Spots or Edge Marks Appearing on My Mirror?

This is typically desilvering, where moisture has crept behind the mirror's protective backing, usually through a poorly sealed edge or a bathroom with heavy, persistent condensation.

What Is the Returns Policy if the Mirror Arrives Damaged or I Change My Mind?

Our Returns and Refunds page details the standard returns window and process. Keep the original packaging where possible, as mirrors are fragile items, and contact us straightaway if anything arrives damaged.

The Mirror Feels Loose on the Wall - How Often Should I Check the Fixings?

It's worth checking the fixings every few months, especially in a well-used family bathroom, as humidity and temperature changes can gradually affect wall plugs over time. If the mirror feels loose, re-tighten the fixings or replace worn wall plugs before continued use.
