Converting an ordinary mirror into a heated mirror with Mirolia

Mirolia is a heating panel made specifically to go behind any kind of mirror. Fitting it is straightforward and safe. Here are the steps:

  • Start by turning your mirror face down.
  • Clean the back thoroughly, so the surface is free of dust.
  • The heating panel is delivered folded, which is what makes it possible to ship. Unfold it carefully.
  • The panel is a heating film bonded to a 3 mm technical insulation.
  • The self-adhesive heating face is protected by a silicone release film.
  • Place Mirolia, heating face down, against the back of the mirror, centred. Check your measurements before you commit.
  • Peel the release film back gently while holding the panel with your hand, then smooth it down so it takes hold everywhere.
  • Continue peeling the film away and Mirolia settles onto the back of the mirror on its own, with no pressure needed.
  • Then wire the mirror to the connected thermostat.
  • That is the whole job. The heated mirror is ready to use.

What Mirolia gives you

There are several things worth knowing about it:

  • The surface temperature is limited to 50 °C, so it is safe to touch.
  • Good for putting on make-up, shaving, or getting dressed in a bathroom where the mirror no longer fogs.
  • It protects the mirror against damp and against the silvering oxidising, which is what usually ends a mirror's life.
  • At 3 mm thick, it does not change anything about how the mirror looks or how it hangs.
  • It works with several fixing methods: brackets, bonding straight to the wall, or recessing where space is tight.
  • It comes in several sizes, to suit the mirror you have.
  • Other dimensions can be made on request.
  • It also works behind backlit and musical mirrors.

Mirolia is a rigid panel, which is what makes it easy to place accurately. The insulation is bonded to the back of it, so the heat goes forwards into the room rather than into the wall. That is where the running cost saving comes from.

What Mirolia changes in a room

An ordinary mirror becomes a heated one, and the room gets its wall space back. What the mirror looks like remains entirely your decision.
