Does the mirror come with hanging hardware?

What is the warranty period for this garden mirror?

Is the black frame made of iron?
Yes, the frame is constructed from black painted iron for durability.
How should I clean the reflective surface?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the mirror surface. For tougher marks, use a mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth, followed by drying with a lint-free cloth.
What is the backing material?
The mirror features a durable PVC backing.
Troubleshooting
Mirror appears distorted or wavy.
Ensure the mirror is placed on a perfectly flat surface if leaning, or that hanging fixings are secure and the frame is not warped. Slight variations may occur due to the nature of reflective surfaces.
Difficulty hanging the mirror securely.
Use appropriate wall plugs and screws suitable for your wall type (brick, wood, etc.). Ensure fixings are strong enough to hold the weight of the mirror and are installed correctly.
Frame shows signs of rust or wear.
Touch up minor scratches with black metal paint. For significant rust, clean the affected area thoroughly and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a suitable metal paint. Ensure the PVC backing remains intact.
Mirror surface is difficult to clean.
Use a glass cleaner specifically designed for mirrors or windows. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the mirror, and wipe in a consistent pattern. Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
