Q: What to look for when buying a bathroom mirror?

• <div><p>Size and weight are the primary considerations when purchasing a bathroom mirror. Properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-mirror.htm">measure the mirror size</a> that will fit above your vanity. If your vanity sits in front of a drywall without a stud available, you won&rsquo;t be able to hang anything that is too heavy. Also, check the material and design. For LED mirrors, look up their IP value. The higher the number, the more resistant it is against water and splash damage. </p></div>
