Maytrix Installation Guide

Mount your infinity mirror with confidence.

Maytrix infinity mirrors use one of two wall-mounting systems based on the piece's size and construction. Larger pieces use interlocking Z-brackets, while smaller mirrors may use recessed cross-shaped keyhole openings located on the back of the mirror, behind the frame.

Before you begin: Use the mounting system identified in your order details, do not choose by diameter alone. Wall construction varies, so the correct fastener must be selected for the actual wall material and confirmed mirror weight. Use at least two capable adults or a qualified installer whenever the piece cannot be lifted and aligned safely by one person. Planning a recessed installation for a project over 6 ft in diameter?

Two wall-mounting systems.

Your order details identify the system supplied with your piece. Size alone should not be used to guess.

Larger pieces

Z-bracket mounting

A level wall rail receives the matching bracket on the back of the piece, spreading the load across a wider section of wall.

Larger pieces

Z-bracket installation

Larger pieces use the interlocking Z-bracket system. The wall rail must be level and securely attached to suitable structure. The mirror is then lifted above the rail and lowered until both Z-bracket profiles fully interlock.

Confirm the installation areaCheck for electrical wiring, plumbing, tile edges, and other hidden obstacles. Confirm the wall is flat, sound, and capable of supporting the confirmed weight.
Locate structureFind studs, blocking, masonry, or another suitable structural attachment point. Do not rely on drywall alone unless a properly rated anchoring solution has been approved for the actual load.
Set the finished heightMark the desired top and center lines while accounting for the engagement distance between the wall rail and the bracket attached to the mirror.
Position and level the wall railPlace the rail in the correct orientation, level it carefully, and mark every usable fastening location. Check the level again before drilling.
Fasten the rail securelyDrill the correct pilot holes and secure the rail using fasteners appropriate for the wall material and load. Recheck level after all fasteners are tightened.
Plan the power connectionRoute the power lead without creating a pinch point. Connect any concealed power arrangement while the back remains accessible and keep the adapter ventilated and serviceable.
Lift and interlockRaise the mirror above the wall rail, keep it parallel to the wall, and lower it slowly until the mirror bracket engages continuously across the wall rail.
Complete the safety checkCheck the left end, center, and right end for full engagement. Verify that the mirror is level and stable, then install any supplied anti-lift or retention hardware.

ESTIMATED WEIGHT

Estimate only. Your exact finished weight is confirmed with your order. Always select wall fasteners and lifting help using the confirmed weight, wall construction, and installation conditions.

Tools and preparation

Your exact fasteners depend on the supplied mounting system and installation surface. Review the hardware supplied with your order and obtain any wall-specific anchors required for the site.

Common tools

  • Tape measure and pencil
  • Long spirit level or laser level
  • Stud finder with live-wire detection
  • Drill/driver and wall-appropriate bits
  • Screwdriver or socket set
  • Protective eyewear
  • Additional capable installers when required

Before drilling

  • Confirm the mirror's exact weight and dimensions
  • Confirm the supplied mounting system and follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror
  • Identify the wall material and internal structure
  • Select fasteners rated for the wall and load
  • Plan outlet, adapter, and cable placement
  • Clear the lift path and protect nearby surfaces
  • Contact a professional when wall capacity is uncertain
Important: Never drill until you have checked for hidden electrical wiring, plumbing, or other building services. Do not rely on drywall alone for a heavy installation unless an appropriately rated anchoring system has been selected for the actual wall assembly and load.

Fasteners by wall type

This guidance applies to both mounting systems. The confirmed weight, actual wall construction, local requirements, and installer assessment always take priority.

Wood studsFasten the Z-bracket wall rail into the center of sound studs or suitable structural blocking using properly sized screws. For smaller mirrors with keyhole mounting, follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.
DrywallLocate studs or blocking whenever possible. For smaller mirrors with keyhole mounting, follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.
Concrete or brickUse the correct masonry bit and anchors rated for the substrate and load. Avoid weak mortar joints unless the selected fastening system specifically permits them.
Tile or stoneUse the correct non-impact bit through the finished surface, avoid edge locations, and anchor into suitable structure behind it. Professional installation is recommended.
Metal studsConfirm the stud gauge and wall construction. Use an appropriate rated fastening strategy or add structural blocking. Consult a qualified installer when uncertain.

Power and cable planning

Power requirements vary by size and configuration. The matching adapter supplied with your mirror will usually plug into a standard wall outlet.

Visible cable

Use a nearby suitable outlet and route the low-voltage cable neatly with a surface cable channel if desired. Maintain ventilation around the adapter and keep every connection accessible.

Concealed power

Plan concealed power before mounting. Do not place an ordinary plug, adapter, or extension connection inside a sealed wall cavity. New in-wall mains wiring or a recessed outlet must comply with local electrical requirements.

No wall mounting required

Self-standing options are available.

For events, temporary activations, leased spaces, or locations where wall mounting is not practical, Maytrix can provide a compatible self-standing display solution.

Ideal for

  • Trade shows and brand activations
  • Pop-ups and temporary events
  • Step-and-repeat photo areas
  • Spaces with restricted wall drilling
  • Displays that may need to be relocated

Plan it with us

Self-standing systems depend on the mirror's dimensions, weight, venue conditions, expected public access, and portability needs. Contact us before ordering so the appropriate base, support, cable routing, and stability requirements can be included in your quote.

Installation questions

What mounting system comes with my mirror?

Maytrix uses two wall-mounting systems. Larger pieces use interlocking Z-brackets, while smaller mirrors may use recessed cross-shaped keyhole openings located on the back of the mirror, behind the frame. Follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.

Is mounting hardware included?

Your mirror arrives with its frame-mounted system and order-specific installation information. Larger pieces use a Z-bracket. For smaller mirrors with keyhole mounting, follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.

Can one person install it?

Use the confirmed weight and dimensions to plan the lift. Even a manageable weight can be difficult to align when the mirror is large. Use at least two capable adults whenever safe lifting and continuous bracket engagement cannot be maintained by one person.

How do I know the Z-brackets are fully engaged?

After lowering the mirror, check the left end, center, and right end. The mirror bracket should engage continuously across the wall rail, the frame should sit evenly, and the mirror should not rock or pull forward.

How do I install a mirror with keyhole mounting?

Smaller mirrors may use recessed cross-shaped keyhole openings located on the back of the mirror, behind the frame. Follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.

What should I follow for keyhole mounting?

Follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.

Can I mount it over an outlet?

Only when the outlet, plug, adapter, cable bend radius, ventilation, and service access can all be accommodated without interfering with the supplied Z-bracket or keyhole mounting system.

Can the power cable be hidden?

Yes, when planned correctly. A recessed outlet or code-compliant wiring solution may be used, but mains electrical work should be completed by a qualified professional. Never bury a standard adapter or extension connection inside a wall.

What clearance and electrical space does a project over 6 ft require?

Provide at least 2 inches of clearance above the panel so it can be lifted and secured onto the Z-bracket clips. Large-format projects over 6 ft in diameter use a 9-inch-wide by 6-inch-high by 3.5-inch-deep electrical enclosure. Allow a few additional inches around the enclosure in a recessed area behind the mirror, or sufficient space between the wall and mirror, for installation, wiring, and future service access. Smaller projects do not use this large-format enclosure.

Can it be mounted on brick, concrete, tile, or stone?

Usually, provided the substrate is sound and the correct rated anchors and drilling method are used. Finished masonry and tile installations are best handled by a qualified installer.

Can I move the mirror later?

Yes. Support the mirror, disconnect power, and disengage the supplied mounting system without twisting the frame. For Z-brackets, lift upward to clear the wall rail. For smaller mirrors with keyhole mounting, follow the installation materials supplied for your specific mirror.

What if wall mounting is not possible?

Ask us about a self-standing display planned around the mirror's size, weight, location, public access, and portability requirements.

Still unsure about your wall?
