1. What is the Double Vanity Mirror Size Calculator?

This calculator determines the ideal width for double vanity mirrors based on your vanity width. The standard recommendation is to subtract 2 inches from the vanity width for proper proportion and installation clearance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Vanity Width — The total width of your double vanity in inches
• 2 inches — Standard clearance allowance on each side

Explanation: This calculation ensures your mirrors are properly proportioned to the vanity while leaving space for mounting hardware and visual balance.

3. Importance of Proper Mirror Sizing

Details: Correct mirror sizing ensures aesthetic balance, proper functionality, and adequate clearance for plumbing fixtures and wall space.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your vanity width precisely in inches. The calculator assumes standard clearance - adjust if your installation requires different spacing.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why subtract 2 inches?
A: This allows 1 inch clearance on each side for mounting hardware and visual balance with the vanity.

Q2: Can I use different clearance amounts?

Q4: What about mirror height?
A: Height is typically 4-6 inches above backsplash to 6-8 inches below ceiling, but depends on your space.

Q5: Should mirrors be exactly this size?
A: This is a guideline. Final size may vary based on specific design preferences and space constraints.
